Special Tropical Disturbance Statement Issued - Off Carolinas

This was issued this morning at 7:30 a mere hour and a half after the 5am comments from the NHC said to check with the NWS for weather information.

What happened over there?
Don't know.

Franklin seemed bearish on development.
Stewart came on and seemed a bit more bullish.

Bet Landsea is having fun now..

Waiting to see what future developments the day has to hold.

Either way there is a ton of rain up along the Eastern Seaboard and a dangling front that is hanging, a strong high off shore in the Atlantic and a vortex trying to get it's act together and connect at the surface.

Also............there is a large area of reds and oranges down by the Yucatan near Western Cuba and I would think that will train it's way up this way.

Only one way for that moisture down under to go and worrying that people in South Florida are going get slapped from behind while watching off to their NE thinking they were saved from any named system bothering with them.

Not saying it will develop but am saying it could.
Anything with that much color and that traditional set up of two weak systems forming at the same time possibly happening ...should be watched.

Often there is something down by the Yucatan moving towards the NNE or NE towards a low pressure system parked off the Carolinas.

Watch and enjoy the show unfold.

As for me.. I'm going to go read my email. I've been waiting to enjoy it like one enjoys desert and a good cup of coffee ;)
