Seems like every weekend (except last weekend) for the past 6 weeks or so, South Florida's weekends have been either ruined by a ULL, lingering trough, or tropical wave.....80% rain chances for South Florida all weekend again :roll:

ULL near 26N-88W. Axis of tropical wave near the east coast of the Yucatan. Imbeded within a west-east trough of low pressure extending southwest of FL across the keys and eastward is a small vortex or LLC near 25.5N-83.5N. I noticed the vortex this morning on radar just north of the dry tortugus. Pressure has dropped aboout 2 mbs at Tampa and Ft Meyers in 24 hours but pressures are lowering due to a breakdown in the rdige due to a cold front and trough advancing into the SE US. A lot of convection massing around the vortex - need to watch this as some of the models - notably NAM - have indicated some kind of development from this feature over the last few days.

18Z gfs still with the vorticity... granted it's not a large area or very potent but, a few runs now it has done this.

Here in New Port Richey, we had a strong Thunderstorm with winds probably 25 mph and gusts of 35 mph. Not sure if this is part of the area we are talking about, but we are pretty close.

T51 here in South Florida has it available and will air it as soon as all the new graphics are ready. John Morales wants to show all the new stuff at one time and not piece by piece. But let me tell, it's really cool!! Especially when you put it 3D.

Another quiet morning in the gulf, a little convection firing up again off Ft Myers this morning. The surface pressures still are not terribly low but they are down from 30.07 yesterday to 29.97 this morning. This area still looks like the eastern edge of An ULL interacting with a tropical wave but with the lower surface pressures, a persistant convection over one spot might get something started.

Nothing going on guys.

What a quiet season compared to last year. I think it's going to take a while longer this year. Tropical Atlantic looks very dry overall. Maybe around Aug.12 it might start picking up.
