Nary a whiff of tropical storm activity in the North Atlantic tropics; just a normal progression of weak easterly waves rolling of Africa. 20-40 knot shear north of latitude 10 North is keeping a lid on any wayward intensification.  No tropical storm development this weekend, and the magic chicken bones say “nope” for next week as well.
