Latest satellite imagery show a ball of convection off the southwest coast of Florida. Invest 92L is almost off the coast or is already off the coast and this could be the beginning of some organization with this system. Some of the previous model run showed this system organizing slightly off the southwest coast then track northeast across Florida a nd strengthening to a tropical cyclone east of GA and the Carolinas. Even if it doesn't organize it would have the potential for heavy over Southern Florida during the next few days. Flood potential for the state so stay tuned to local media and the National Weather Service in Miami....RTW

EYES ON THE TROPICS 0301 PM EDT AUG 22, 2017
1. INVEST92L...Models continue to suggest weak development off the southeast coast of Florida and a track toward the northwest then northward or northeast. Some models tracks this system across Southern Florida and the Gulf then back across Florida and a track toward the northeast, and possibly strengthen into a tropical cyclone east of the eastern seaboard. We will just have to wait and see if this system does mature into a tropical entity. Showers and storms are accumulating this afternoon over the Bahamas and are tracking westward. As this system attempts to get its act together it will more than likely produce a wet environment over Southern Florida. So the next few days are looking very wet. You can't rule out localized flooding as this system tracks slowly northwest...RTW
2. INVEST 91L HARVEY continues to organize and now has a high chance for development 90% within 48 hrs. and a 100% within 5-days. Harvey is a threat for Texas and possibly Louisiana. models are all over the place but Texas seems to be Harvey's prime target for now...RTW http://ralphstropicalweather.myfreesites.net

000 ABNT20 KNHC 212329 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Mon Aug 21 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A large area of disturbed weather over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is associated with the remnants of Harvey. Satellite images and surface observations indicate that the system lacks a well-defined circulation and surface pressures are not falling at this time. Although this system could still become better organized while approaching the Yucatan peninsula tonight and early Tuesday, tropical cyclone formation is not expected until the disturbance moves into the Bay of Campeche on Wednesday where conditions are favorable. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are likely to spread westward primarily across Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula during the next couple of days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. A broad trough of low pressure located near the central Bahamas and the adjacent Atlantic continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Only slow development of this system is anticipated during the next several days while it moves west-northwestward across the Bahamas and then turns northwestward or northward near Florida and the adjacent waters. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent. $$ Forecaster Avila

EYES ON THE TROPICS INVEST 92L AND INVEST 91L HARVEY UPDATE 1216 PM EDT AUG 21, 2017
RTW: Review of the Tropics
1. Not much change with this tropical wave. Atmospheric not favorable for tropical cyclone formation.
2. INVEST 92L Models still insisting on weak depression or tropical storm and even a cat. 1 hurricane at some point with this disorganized system. If it does develop into a hurricane it would be after it tracks over Florida and then back out over the Atlantic waters east of GA.
The EURO model also suggest a track toward Florida and then out over the Atlantic as it tracks back toward the northeast but as a weaker system.
06z Intensity model calls for a tropical storm or even a Cat.1 hurricane to form from this weather system. Not saying this will be a significant event but we always need to be ready just in case..RTW
3.INVEST 91L HARVEY remnants is looking better every hour. We may see a tropical storm develop as it tracks toward the Yucatan and anyone from Mexico to Texas should closely monitor this storm system...RTW http://ralphstropicalweather.myfreesites.net

Interests in northern Nicaragua, northern Honduras, Belize, and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico should monitor the progress of the remnants of Harvey. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the remnants of Harvey were located near latitude 14.3 North, longitude 71.8 West. The tropical wave associated with Harvey's remnants is moving quickly toward the west near 22 mph (35 km/h), and this general motion will continue for the next day or two. The remnants are expected to move westward across the central Caribbean Sea on Sunday and across the western Caribbean Sea toward Central America on Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- This is the last public advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on this system unless regeneration occurs or if tropical cyclone watches or warnings are required for land areas. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml. $$ Forecaster Berg

000 ABNT20 KNHC 192319 TWOAT Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently downgraded Tropical Depression Harvey, located over the central Caribbean Sea. Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized near a trough of low pressure located a couple of hundred miles north of the northern Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions are not expected to be conducive for development of this system during the next couple of days while it moves west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph. Conditions could become slightly more conducive for development once the system is near the northern Bahamas or Florida around the middle of next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent. A tropical wave located about a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles is producing a large area of cloudiness but limited showers and thunderstorms. The wave is currently embedded in a dry air mass, and upper-level winds are expected to become too strong to support development in a couple of days. Therefore, tropical cyclone formation is not likely while this system moves northwestward at about 15 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent. $$ Forecaster Berg
