Invest 91L Soon to be TD 1 or TS Alex Down the Road. NHC Has 80% in 5 day - 70% in 2 Days. Second Yellow Area Heralds in 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season!
You know that saying "it's complicated" well explaining what most likely will be tropical system is definitely complicated. Many times early in the season and late in the season South Florida (Keys, Miami, FLL, WPB) tends to get slammed by displaced moisture from tropical cyclones that are weak, not well organized and "East Side Loaded" meaning the NHC will track the official "center" towards SW Florida (Naples area) and because of shear and poor organization all the severe weather and heavy rain is pounding the Miami area. Again when I say "Miami" here I mean the general area from SW Miami to WPB in this case.
Easy to say "what's a little rain?" but this area has been underwater several times over the last few days. Heavy torrential, tropical rain from seasonal monsoons has created localized flooding and daily drama. This is Miami life, when I was little, when I was a teen, when I was a young mother and well forever and always.
On Wikipedia you can read the article about Miami's Climate. This image says it all and you can see the link on the top. My kids share pictures in June in the afternoon to see which kid caught Armageddon the best! So add let's say 10 to 12 inches of rain on TOP of the general "OMG ONLY IN MIAMI" rainstorms and that's way too much rain all at once.
Does it move faster? That would be helpful. Does it move slower? That would not be good. Does it become Tropical Storm Alex and attain a tight circulation? That would be better in that the EURO model shows it coming in further North (Naples/Tampa anyone?) BUT all the heavy rain slams the whole East Coast as well as South Florida and the Florida Keys. The GFS centers in more on South Florida after impacting the Florida Keys and parts of Cuba.
AGAIN it's still early as the center has not totally formed and this is evolving in real time.
Note also that when the season starts with Florida getting a visitor from the SW down near the Yucatan it often ENDS with similar Hurricanes moving up to the NE as they catch early Fall fronts dragging said named hurricane across South Florida. This is NOT Wilma, but that does not mean the season could not end with a Wilma or Michael sort of hurricane. I seriously hope I am totally wrong!
