The cloudtops seem like they've warmed up a bit after moving offshore. Now all we have to do is wait for them to cool once more.

Looks like Florida is in for a bit of a wet day later.. That elongated look has me bothered. It just looks like the upper level center is being ripped off to the northeast as fast as it can.. That is a classic look of a tropical cyclone that is about to turn... Who knows.. Need recon out there to see whats going on..

Do you think all of Florida will be wet or just south Florida. With all the rain that we have had in June. It would be nice to be able to enjoy some fireworks and have a nice evening for a change. :roll:

Yeah...it looks pathetic...with another piece of energy getting pulled north....which is why the GFS has been keeping a weak system...pieces of mid level energy get going and get yanked away. The cirrus dues appear to be moving more to the west now...so once this latest round of energy moves away...we'll have to see if the LLC can get it's act together.

Looking at the streamlines from the ARL, there is a lot of tearing going on. The low levels are being pushed to the WNW...and the mid-upper are being pushed to the NNW. Whenever the low levels try to get stacked up...the mid levels latch onto that steering at it gets ripped apart again. The mid level flow is a little weaker to the west...so once the low levels works away from the coast...it might be able to get stacked and come together...and I suspect that won't happen until tonight.

The longer this takes, the less of a chance we'll have a hurricane, or a very strong tropical storm. But, if they do get stacked, I guess the possiblity is always there for rapid development?
