Good afternoon,
Tropical Storm Gordon formed this morning near Key Largo. It is currently located just off of Fort Myers. Gordon formed earlier and further north than the NHC had anticipated. In light of this, we'll probably see an eastern shift in its track and a more intense storm than initially forecast. I would not be surprised if it reaches hurricane strength. Fortunately, upper level shear prevented us from having any significant winds in South Florida, but we've had quite a bit of rainfall (approx. 5" at my house so far).
I'll continue to keep an eye on Gordon as well as storms developing over Africa and the far eastern Atlantic.
My best to all,
Matt
