There are now two hidden circles in the NHC's Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook
Posted by Chris in Tampa on 8/27/2013, 9:29 pm
I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that even though the area exists, fairly well defined too, the Atlantic 0% still has no yellow circle on the front page. Florida gets a 10% yellow circle, but the blob that is getting better defined in the Atlantic gets no circle on the map. If the area didn't exist yet, or was over land, I can understand.
