As I have been mentioning over the past several days and actually the last couple of weeks is that I think we will see tropical or sub-tropical development in either the western Caribbean or in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend and this has the potential to affect much of Florida and the US East Coast with heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas starting this weekend in Florida and continuing into next week as this system travels up the US East Coast.
The offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic ocean off of the Florida coast & the southeastern US coast are likely to receive tropical storm force winds starting on Friday night or Saturday and continuing until about Monday night or Tuesday morning.
If this weren’t enough, the long range European and GFS models are hinting that a second tropical cyclone may form in the western Caribbean towards the end of next week and into next weekend.
