Tropical Storm Franklin in the Caribbean Sea on Monday was moving north — with the center of the storm heading straight toward the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Also, the National Hurricane Center is tracking Tropical Storm Gert to the east of Puerto Rico, but there were no coastal warnings or watches in effect for this system. Gert could become a remnant low or dissipate at any time.

Tropical Storm Emily also became Post-Tropical Cyclone Emily far out in the Atlantic on Monday.

TD9, which currently has sustained winds of about 35 mph, is expected to become Tropical Storm Harold once the winds top 39 mph. That's expected to happen before landfall on the south Texas coast south near Baffin Bay Tuesday morning.
The name Harold replaced, Harvey, also made landfall in South Texas, but it was much stronger. Crazy coincidence
 

Tropical Storm Franklin eyes Hispaniola, Puerto Rico​

Tropical Storm Franklin is likely to bring heavy rain to both Puerto Rico and Hispaniola this week.

The storm is expected to move towards the southern coast of Hispaniola on Tuesday, threatening "life-threatening" flash flooding in the Dominican Republic as forecasted rain totals reach 10-15 inches in some spots, the NHC reports.

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for the southern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti while Tropical Storm Watches are in effect for the northern coast of the Dominican Republic and the islands of Turks and Caicos. Franklin has maximum sustained winds near 50 mph with higher gusts, and some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours.

Puerto Rico, not under a watch or warning, could see 2 to 4 inches of rain and up to 6 inches locally through the middle of the week.

Franklin is stationary about 290 miles south of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic with winds at 50 mph.

Tropical Depression Gert weaker​

Tropical Depression Gert was downgraded from a tropical storm Monday evening. The storm is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about 375 miles east of the Leeward Islands. According to the NHC, Gert has winds of 30 mph as it moves to the west-northwest at 7 mph. The system is forecast to dissipate or become a post tropical low before encountering land.

Other area of concern, Invest 92L​

The fifth area of interest in the Atlantic is near Africa. The NHC expects gradual development, and a tropical depression could form later in the week in the eastern tropical Atlantic. This disturbance has a medium development at 40% over the next two days and a high chance, 70% chance of becoming a tropical depression over the next seven days.

 
Hubby's name! We're hoping Harold brings rain to Texas.

We got a few clouds and wind, but we're 100 miles inland. Still, it was 105 degrees today. .
How much rain are you getting right now. Harold made landfall this morning
 
How much rain are you getting right now. Harold made landfall this morning
Cloudy, cooler and breezy. Maybe a stray shower. 1/4 inch possible.

I'm too far north to be in the bands.
It's a break from the heat wave.


Further south, they having a few tornado warned storms.

The area where the storm is currently impacting is used to this weather.

Small pockets of heavy rain up to 6 inches are par for the course, however it looks like most of the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas plains will get between 2 and 4 inches.


The area also is mostly agriculture and not very populated.


I'm in the light green area.

So far, we've got at least an inch! Got a downpour while I was at the garden center.
We got more rain than forecasted. New Braunfels got alot of rain and now heavy rain is in Kendall County.

Our rainstorm was the red blob in the upper right of the storm's feeder bands.

A new area in on the outlook that has a 20% chance to develop in the West Caribbean. This one should be watched very closely as if it develops it is likely to impact somewhere along the Gulf, including Florida. This is an area that could move from the east pacific into the Western Caribbean, and could develop over the weekend if it does.

Tropical Storm Franklin is moving off Hispaniola tonight ,the Turks and Caicos has a Tropical Storm Warning up as well as it passes closeby to the east. Beyond this, Bermuda should watch.

Former Emily has a 70% chance to redevelop.

and 92L has a 40% chance to develop

Franklin KEY MESSAGES:

1. Heavy rainfall from Franklin is expected across much of Hispaniola into Thursday, which is expected to produce significant and potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding as well as mudslides, particularly over the central Dominican Republic.

2. Franklin is bringing tropical storm conditions to portions of the Dominican Republic, where Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect, and tropical storm conditions are expected to begin within the Turks and Caicos Islands tonight.

The forecast for next week here in the uk, talks of the remnants of a tropical storm getting caught up in the jet stream and influencing our weather.
