Problem With Westerly Motion
The only problem with a westerly motion is that the lower-level winds (sfc-850mb) are all from the south.

I am in NE Florida Cyc. Just South of St Augustine and North of Daytona Beach.
That has been the problem, all the moisture has been staying to our west, and we really could use some rain... So I am not counting on getting much precip

Luis, you don't think it is premature to say that eastern Florida won't get much from this system?
My local forecasters are looking for a lot of rain from this system... not so much at the start tomorrow afternoon, more so on Saturday evening and Sunday looks rather wet with rain and thunderstorms. Bronwyn, Chad and myself are in the Orlando, Florida viewing area.
This tropical disturbance is a very slow moving system... so everyone from Texas to Florida should watch this system closely as it slowly moves into the Gulf of Mexico from the Yucatan peninsula.

Yea Tom I agree that all the residents that live from Brownsville to Miami mustwatch this system going into the weekend and early next week.But what I was refering to is about some models take this system towards the panhandle of florida and others taking it more west towards the texas coast so there is a great avenue of possibilities in terms of the future movement of this but Tom right now the east coast of florida will get less rain but that could change in a hurry so keep watching this system those who live at the east coast of florida too.
