Good morning.
Just a quick post about a few areas in the tropics. In a nutshell, nothing to worry about at this time. High pressure over Florida, a strong upper level low over the NE Bahamas and high shear are currently protecting the state of Florida. The only one we'll have to watch is the one just off the coast of Africa which is still 10-14 d away, as conditions will likely change by the time it is anywhere near us.
Of note are the extremely warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a potential bomb. Something is likely to happen there before the end of the season, unless some cold fronts can cool it off.
Until later, Matt.
