Will Something Tropical Finally Form Close to Florida?




This is what Ole Joe at Accuweather likes to call "Home Brew" or something like that. Maybe he comes from a long line of moonshiners I don't know but often things do form close in just off the coast of Florida. One minute there is nothing but stormy weather and the next something has a name suddenly. Other times its just a lot of stormy weather.

The models have been begging for something to form in the area between Cuba and Florida somewhere just west of the Bermuda Triangle and coast along the coast..or just transgressing the coast from Florida to the Carolinas. I wasn't sure we haven't had a Martian Mind Meld and they were just trying to amuse me during this slow period in the tropics.

But...no as if just in time for the Prom the NHC puts up a YELLOW circle over the area that Steve Lyons has shown a few times the last few days between his surf reports and other Lyons Den trivia.

To use a term I like to use, a Bobbi term.. there is a "weather boundary" along the area near South Florida at the end of what was a long, dangling frontal boundary. The frontal boundary is not as noticeable. The above big round ball of weather IS and there have been constant tropical downpours all week. I know it's the rainy season but this season has been longer, harder than many in a long time. And, if there is any kind of hand off of energy from the moisture that flew off the top of the wave to the South that got transferred into this tropically unstable region..

Something could happen close to home.

Remember...the Navy Invest for the WAVE below has a track which right now shows a pattern that would take it up into the area where the NHC has posted it's second yellow circle of the day.



Something to think on and watch the next few hours and see if something pops.

Trust me...somethings gotta give in the tropics soon.
