Watching Three Areas

Looks like the tropics are starting to become active again with three areas of disturbed weather we are now watching. The first one is around 35W and does not look like it will develop for the next couple of days.

The second is around 55W and is now moving into an ares less conducive for development. This wave could bring some storminess to the northern Leeward Islands in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Finally there is an area of cloudiness and thunderstorms in the Gulf of Mexico. Pressures are now falling and shear is fairly low. The NHC gives this area a moderate chance of development and they plan on sending a reconnaissance plane into the area later today.

As for south Florida today we are still looking for about a 70% chance of rain. There was a nice thunderstorm offshore Deerfield around 6AM producing some very nice lightning.

Further posts and Twitter updates as we go through today.
