This morning satellite shows an increase in convection (thunderstorms) around the center of circulation and plenty of deep tropical moisture to feed this cyclone. Michael will more than likely become a hurricane this morning sometime today.
Michael is poised to make landfall along the Florida Panhandle as a cat two hurricane.
The track remains unchanged north to northeast across northern Florida. This is due to a trough across the Mid-Planes and high pressure in the Atlantic. These two system has made a path for Michael to track through.
Deep tropical moisture to the east of the center is already rising north across Cuba, and the Florida straits. Although Michael is not expected to directly impact southern Florida, the Indirect affect of fast moving rain bands and squally conditions will affect the Peninsula as the cyclone tracks northward. Since south Florida is on the dirty side of this storm system you can't rule out water sports and isolated tornados as some of these fast moving rain bands move north and west across the area.
Interest from Alabama to Tampa should continue to monitor the progress of Michael and plan ahead for the possibility of Hurricane conditions... RTW
