Good morning.
TS Isaias is currently located east of Jacksonville. See 5 day NHC forecast and water vapor loop below. Fortunately Isaias did not make a Florida landfall and remained offshore as expected. In addition due to strong SW shear most of its weather remained offshore. Peak winds yesterday in Miami were 17 mph with gust to 25. West Palm Beach had a peak wind of 31 mph with a gust to 43. Melbourne when it was at closest approach had winds of 20 mph with a gust of 32. Florida only experienced weak tropical storm conditions.
Rainfall at my house over the weekend totaled 1.68", within my expected 1-2" forecast range.
Elsewhere all else is quiet. A weak disturbance in the Atlantic will move out to sea, even if it should develop. There are a couple of strong waves over Africa which we'll need to watch in a week or two.
Until next time, Matt.
PS. Hopefully if you were following you were not part of the panicked crowds out there.
