Good morning.
We are currently at the peak of Hurricane Season and things in the tropics are heating up though Florida still looks okay. A tropical wave currently over the Bahamas will move over South Florida tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow should be a rainy day with frequent showers. It has potential for development AFTER it enters the Gulf of Mexico. Paulette and Rene are moving out to sea. The one that we'll need to watch is the area just off the coast of Africa. If it stay far enough south it may miss the Mid Atlantic Trough and enter the Caribbean or Florida Straits. The high pressure that was over Florida last week has shifted north and the current "windows" are open through the Caribbean and Florida Straits. See surface map below.
Hopefully it will be drawn north into the wake of Paulette and Rene and move out to sea, but we'll have to see.
Until next time, Matt.
