Four Possibilities for the Next Atlantic Tropical Storm. TRMM Satellite Sees Four Possibilities for the Next Atlantic Tropical Storm This GOES-13 satellite image from August 12, 2011 at 1445 UTC (10:45 a.m. EDT) shows the four low pressure systems: Systems 92L, 93L, 94L and 95L that have potential to develop into a tropical depression over the weekend. System 95L is closest to the U.S. followed by System 94L, 92L and 93L.

However, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now monitoring four areas in the Atlantic Ocean that have potential for developing into tropical cyclones and the TRMM satellite captured a look at their rainfall at various times in the past few days. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite is managed by NASA and the Japanese Space Agency, and can provide data on rainfall rates occurring in a tropical cyclone as well as estimate rainfall totals.

Tropical Cyclone ACE for the Northern Hemisphere has made it back to "normal" for year-to-date and will move above normal for the Western North Pacific. July 2011 was quite active for tropical cyclones. Meanwhile, the Eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic are also just about average for this time of year. July 30, 2011: Super Typhoon Muifa has exploded into a Category 5 monster, with winds at 140 knots according to the JTWC 18z advisory.
It will meander northward during the next few days before taking a sharp left turn...maybe. July 30, 2011: The Western Pacific has become quite active over the past week with a couple new storms and the expectation of third during the upcoming week. July 18, 2011: Ma-On has started to weaken as it moves toward Japan to later recurve to the NNE. Typhoon Ma-On will be a powerful storm [08W] -- expect it to explode to Category 5 (sub-900 hPa MSLP) July 5, 2011: Global tropics are dead.
