Tropical Tidbit for Friday, September 9th, 2011

A tidbit from the tropics by weather enthusiast Levi Cowan. Levi has been tracking tropical systems closely since 2002, and is currently working on his bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Please note that these tidbits do NOT reflect the official forecasts of the National Hurricane Center, and should not be taken as such. While tropical cyclones exist in the Atlantic, the official NHC forecasts will be posted in the lower part of my blog pages. Please refer to those when making decisions, and heed the advisories and evacuation statements of your local National Weather Service Office.

@ham236 Maria likely won't be a threat to Canada. You're right, the trough is too positively-tilted and will turn her out sharply to the northeast.

@MrWeatherman10 That's still a bit far out. Let's see what happens during the next 2 weeks.

so would Maria still be a threat to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland even if the trough catches her? or is it too positive?
