Florida and Gulf of Mexico DUers - please pay attention



For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. A surface trough located over the Turks and Caicos continues to
produce widespread cloudiness and disorganized thunderstorms across
the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos, and extending
northward over the southwestern Atlantic for a few hundred miles.
Ship reports continue to indicate that tropical-storm-force wind
gusts are occurring in some of the heavier squalls. Limited
development of this disturbance is expected during the next few days
due to only marginally conducive upper-level winds while the system
moves very slowly west-northwestward across the Bahamas. However,
environmental conditions could become more favorable for development
when the system moves over the Florida Straits and into the eastern
Gulf of Mexico by Friday and over the weekend. Regardless of
development, this disturbance will produce periods of locally heavy
rainfall and gusty winds across the Bahamas through Thursday, and
across Florida by late Friday and continuing into the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Another disturbance in the southeastern Gulf may also prove troublesome. Certain tracks of this current disturbance increase the likelihood of development of that system. I’m actually more concerned with that one than Invest 95L.

We are always watching the Atlantic weather this time of year. There is a disturbance just leaving the west coast of Africa that is projected to become a possible hurricane once into the mid Atlantic.
