Good morning,
At 8 am the poorly-defined center of Tropical Storm Nestor was located over the extreme northwest Gulf of Mexico. Due to high shear over Nestor, Nestor is a completely “uncoupled” system, meaning that all weather and thunderstorm activity is well away from the center. The exact center of circulation is poorly defined and uncertain, according to the NHC, with no associated weather over it. This will be a non-event for those that the center passes over.
All the weather is well east of the center, and the primary area affected will be the Big Bend area of Florida. Peak winds will be in the 40s and the main risk will be from isolated brief tornadoes and to those on the immediate coast who are at risk from a 2-4 ft. storm surge.
Wishing everyone a good weekend.
Until next time,
Matt
