Tropical Storm Erika Forms



Tropical Storm Erika looks good on the visible satellite image with a core of organized thunderstorms and good “exhaust” on at the top of the storm. But like “Ana” and “Danny”, Erika has the thunderstorm area displaced to the east of a area of circulation. There is some shear affecting its development at present but plenty of warm water so the storm should strengthen a tad over the next few days.
