Strong easterly winds is beginning to draw in moisture on shore the east coast of Florida as this trough tracks west-northwest to a northwest.  These showers will be fast moving and at times could be heavy. 

Development is not out of the question, but if it were to occur, it would be as this system re-curves back to the northeast and over the west Atlantic waters. RTW



 

A NON TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IN THE BAHAMAS

A non tropical disturbance near the Eastern Bahamas associated with a mid to upper level low could enhance rain and storm chance for the Bahamas and Florida in the coming days.

Could this system become a sub- tropical storm or tropical depression?  That can't be ruled out,  however, models are not hinting at strong development at this time.  I will monitor it closely as it tracks west-northwestward.

Notice to my viewers...
