Good morning.
I'm writing about 2 areas of disturbed weather in the tropics this am.
NEITHER poses a threat to South Florida at this time. One is approaching the northern coast of South America. It should move along the northern coast where it is expected to encounter significant shear on Wednesday. It is expected to dissipate on Wednesday or Thursday. The other is currently over the Yucatan Peninsula. It is expected to emerge over the SE Gulf of Mexico today and development is expected. There is significant shear to its north. The NHC is forecasting it to become a tropical storm. Due to shear it is not expected to strengthen to a hurricane. It should move northward and currently Louisiana appears to be at greatest risk. It is expected to make landfall along the northern Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm in 2-3 days. Unless things change I do not anticipate the need to write further about either of these systems.
My best to all, Matt.
