Lots of action in the Atlantic... Hurricane Maria, a tropical wave southeast of Bermuda, a tropical wave approaching the Leeward Islands, and a tropical wave east of West Palm Beach, Florida.
Maria is no threat to land, and the system southeast of Bermuda will be no issue here.
The wave approaching the Leewards sure looks like it should develop in coming days, but nothing has happened over the weekend. We will watch it closely.
The system just off the east coast of Florida has become better organized and a tropical depression is expected to form during the next 36 hours. The steering currents are weak, so it might not move much in coming days. The GFDL continue to offer the troubling solution of taking the system to southeast Louisiana by the end of the week... while other models are all over the place. There is no confidence in any solution until the system becomes more organized. But, there is indeed a real chance it might move slowly westward into the Gulf of Mexico. The European model keeps it near the east coast of Florida all week without much motion.
CLOSE TO HOME: The weather still looks pretty dry around here all week. Moisture should begin to invade from the east this weekend, and some rain now seems possible and maybe likely by Sunday.
Headed into the office for the Labor Day night shift... we will resume the normal video schedule tomorrow morning. Looks like we have a pretty good football game on ABC 33/40 tonight... Florida State vs Miami. The game begins at 7:00...
