EYE ON THE TROPICS JULY 30, 2017 0305 PM EDT

RTW:  Ralph's Tropical Weather

1. Monitoring a strong cluster of storm nearing the African west coast.  There are no signs of tropical cyclone formation at this time...RTW

2. Monitoring the Central Atlantic Wave that has some potential for development as it tracks westward...RTW

3. Also monitoring a frontal boundary draped across northern Florida and the northern Gulf waters.  A non-tropical low has formed along the frontal boundary and will move east northeast across northern Florida in the coming days. This weather system will help to enhance heavy rains and storms over the Peninsula.  This could be a flood potential for a portion of Florida.  Although upper level winds are marginally favorable for tropical cyclone formation, that has not stopped past storms from developing so stay tuned to Local media and National Hurricane center for updates...RTW
