Western Atlantic development this week-end??

[ameriwx2003]

The UKMET is picking up on a system developing and moving thru the Florida straits in 144 hours, in fact the GFS and Canadian try to bring some type of system toward Florida as well.

A few Florida Goverment forecasters are skeptical though:):):) From the Morning Melbourne Florida AFD:

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...AGREE WITH TAMPA LONG TERM FORECASTER IN
THAT THE GFS APPEARS TO BE OVERDOING THE TUTT LOW/REMNANTS OF
NICHOLAS. WILL HAVE TO UNDERCUT WIND SPEEDS ONE TO TWO CATEGORIES TO
BRING THEM BACK DOWN TO AROUND 15 MPH. THIS WILL LEAVE ROOM TO GO
EITHER HIGHER/LOWER AS THESE DAYS GET CLOSER AND WHETHER THE GFS IS
VERIFYING OR NOT. WITH A DEEPENING EASTERLY FLOW ONE CAN EXPECT
ISOLATED CONVERGENCE SHOWERS LATE NIGHT AND DURING THE MORNING ALONG
THE COAST AND OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON SHOWERS IN SAINT LUCIE...MARTIN AND OKEECHOBEE COUNTIES.

I would be more concerned about the storm that used to be Nicholas.

The models may be off on intitialization as this could be one in the same animal.

Will be interesting to see the upper flow pattern ..when and if that occurs..to see if the system will be picked up and moved towards florida or continue..west If it even verifies. Something to watch at any rate

I agree. The models can be onto something. Last night, Dr. Steve Lyons said that all four tropical cyclones that have made landfall along the United States coastline made landfall along the Florida coast.
