No big change here over the next few days. Warm, very humid, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 80s. You know the routine.
Most of our attention will be focused on tropical weather...
Looks like our ole pal the GFS has finally locked on to a real tropical system that is beginning to form over the northwest Caribbean. An Air Force hurricane hunter is scheduled to fly into this area tomorrow if needed.
The GFS develops a tropical system, and moves it northward into the Gulf of Mexico, with the ultimate landfall over the Mississippi coast on Friday. We caution you that model output is all over the place; the GFDL wants to take it over to central America; the new Canadian run takes it to near Apalachicola by early Sunday; the European doesn't think it will exist at all. Take your pick.
We will be waiting and watching... but our weekend weather will really depend on what happens in the Gulf.
Then... the GFS shows another tropical system developing south of Cuba, coming up toward Miami in about one week. Looks like things are hopping in the tropics really early in the season.
Early season tropical systems rarely become major hurricanes, but they can be big time rain producers, like Allison and Alberto.

It traveled about 1/4 of a mile.
