TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK OCT 20, 2017 1021 AM EDT

TROPICS GIVING US A BREAK AS IT CHARGES UP TO RELEASE MORE ACCUMULATED CYCLONE ENERGY BY NEXT WEEK.  I WILL BE MONITORING THE SOUTH AND NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN FOR HINTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION.

SOME MODELS SUGGEST AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAYBE A DEPRESSION TRACKING NORTH BETWEEN THE YUCATAN WESTERN CUBA AND MERGING WITH A FRONT AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS FLORIDA.  ANOTHER MODEL SUGGEST A TROPICAL STORM MAYBE A HURRICANE TRACKING NORTH OVER CUBA AND SOUTH FLORIDA.

I DO HAVE TO CAUTION YOU THOU!  MODEL FORECAST CHANGE EVERY RUN AND I ALWAYS LOOK FOR PERSISTENCE, HOWEVER AT TIMES IT TURNS OUT NOT BEING ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT.  BUT SINCE WE ARE STILL IN HURRICANE SEASON AND OCTOBER IS MOST DEFINITELY A MONTH TO WATCH IF YOU LIVE IN CUBA AND FLORIDA YOU NEED TO BE STORM READY.  SO CHECK BACK DAILY FOR UPDATES.
