At this moment, only one word.

"IMPRESSIVE"

I have followed tropical weather for a long time now & I know many things about hurricanes & weather in general but I don't know everything,I regret not taking it more serious & making a career out of it..Its the only job that I would love going to & from everyday..But one thing that often baffles me is why if there is a High pressure off to the N of this system,yeah the same High that has been talked about being in control & causing the dry weather over Fla.Why then is this disturbed weather going to move & has been moving N & NE??? Shouldn't it be getting blocked &/or pushed Wward

Good one. have the same question!!

If my lack of expertised opinion serves me right.. Even though the high is causing us dry weather.. Hurricanes/tropical systems of any kind are like magnets with high pressure.

They thrive on high pressure and can usually move with it. Just like when a low would scoop it into a different direction.

I do hope we get some rain soon. Even if it's not tropical. We are getting hotter as we get closer to summer

"Possible" Tropical Cyclone Formation is still expected to form in the next 24 to 36 hours, this is according to the NHC/TPC.

Please re-read the graphic, it says possible cyclone, not expected cyclone. Possible means there is some chance. In fact, the system is already a cyclone; however, it is not a tropical cyclone

Good point Derek!

You need to look above the surface to see why it's going NE. For example, here's an 850mb (5000 ft) streamline map. Note where the high center is aloft, almost due east of the low. At 700mb the high center is ESE of the low. Thus the movement N-NE around the western periphery of the high.

All it needs to do is SLOW down. It is moving too quickly.

The low is following the path of least resistance...........MGC
