Good afternoon.
Tropical Storm Nate formed this am and at 11 am was located right along the NE coast of Nicaragua. and was moving NW @ 9 mph. Nate is moving into a weakness in the high pressure ridge to its north toward the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Once it enters the Gulf of Mexico it will encounter significant shear and it is unlikey to be more than a Cat 1 storm at landfall, possibly just a tropical storm. The Global Models span from Louisiana to Alabama at this time. Nate currently does NOT pose a threat to South Florida. We should know more specifically where its headed on Saturday am.
Until next time, Matt.
