Calypso music lost one of its most emblematic voices Sunday with the death of Slinger Francisco, who was known on stage as the Mighty Sparrow and dubbed the “Calypso King of the World.” He was 91. abcnews.link/xyhcmJJ

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply saddened at the passing of calypso icon Slinger Francisco, on Sunday 27 September.
The Mighty Sparrow, as he was popularly known, is one of the Region’s most acclaimed and accomplished calypsonians. Born in Grenada and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, his music tapped into the rhythms and sentiments of the Region, providing insightful and incisive social and political commentary in an artform unique to the Caribbean experience.
In a career spanning the Caribbean, Europe and the United States of America, for many decades the Mighty Sparrow entertained, educated and inspired audiences, promoting Caribbean culture in the global arena with lyrical brilliance. He penned over 500 calypsos, produced upwards of 70 albums, and secured numerous titles, including 10 Calypso Monarch crowns and eight Road March victories.
For these and other achievements he fittingly received high regional honours, including the Order of the Caribbean Community (OCC) in 2001, the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (ORTT) in 2014, and an Honorary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) from The University of the West Indies in 1987.
CARICOM extends deepest condolences to his family, the governments and people of Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago, and all in the Caribbean and global community who mourn his passing. May his rich legacy continue to inspire future generations to preserve and promote Caribbean culture to the highest standards.

Insane new video of the NOAA Hurricane Hunters navigating through the 180 MPH eyewall of Hurricane Polo yesterday before reaching the massive Stadium Effect of the eye.
These are some of the bravest and most skilled pilots in the entire world.

NHC is monitoring two areas in the Atlantic for potential tropical development, #AL92 🔴 which has a high chance (80%) of development, and #AL94 🟠 which has a medium chance (50%) of development. Check hurricanes.gov for the latest information.
ALT 1. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92): 80%/80%. Showers/t-storms are showing signs of organization in association with a tropical wave ~1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. This system will likely become a short-lived tropical depression during the next day or two as it moves W across the tropical Atlantic. By late Friday, the system is expected to move into a region of strong upper-level winds and dry air, which should end its opportunity to develop. Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of this system as gusty winds and areas of heavy rain are possible Friday-Saturday. 2. Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94): 30%/50%. A tropical wave located a few hundred miles SSW of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers/t-storms. Environmental conditions are forecast to be generally conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend while the wave moves W-WNW across the eastern/central tropical Atlantic.

Aug 11 8p EDT: Busy for early August! The central tropical Atlantic system (#AL92) is likely to become a trop depression (TD) in a day or two, and a short-lived TD or trop storm could form in the high-latitude central Atlantic (#AL93) thru Wed. More: hurricanes.gov
Reshma Ragoonath retweeted
Aug 9- 8p EDT: NHC is monitoring 3 areas of interest across the basin. The easternmost system could become a tropical depression during the latter portion of the week, though nothing is an immediate land threat. The latest outlook is at hurricanes.gov
Reshma Ragoonath retweeted
And then there were two! The area of interest closer to the Windward Islands has a 20% chance of development in the next 7 days while the area further east in the main development region has a 30% chance of development in the next 7 days.
Reshma Ragoonath retweeted
Sat, Aug. 8 UPDATE: We are now following the potential development of 2 systems in the tropical Atlantic during the upcoming week. The development window is tight due to strong upper-level winds nearby, and the chance for tropical cyclone formation is currently low for both systems.
Continue to monitor trends with us at hurricanes.gov.
