Looks like that "spin" that came across Florida the last 3 days is going to be our next tropical depression.  Recon plane is passing through and should find a closed circulation along with some falling pressures.  The visible satt. picture is pretty impressive showing the exploding thunderstorms wrapping around the center.  Looks like it will creep northeast along the GA and Carolina coastlines this weekend.  They'll get some severe storms....some wind...some minor erosion.   We get the opposite...more sun and extra hot as drier air is pulled down from up north for the weekend.  Don't expect a drop in humidity...just a reduced chance for storms.

OK, Glenn - I challenge you:

I'm saying no more than six hurricanes this season, and only two will touch the US

I'll even give you Dolly (but not Cristobal) as a 'hit' if it crosses the Rio Grande.

What are you predicting?

No, I'm going with 6-9 hurricanes total. We'll have 4 "touch" the US. The shear is a bit lighter than last....and the "trough" is established across the Central US. That should allow more hurricanes to spin up towards the US instead of staying south.

The Slurpee bet is back on!!

Ok, Glenn - if you want to earn Slurpee money, I need a number out of you, not 6-9

And I think we can both agree that Eduoard is a tropical storm, and if it does not turn into a hurricane, we're not going to count it

Quick update Monday eve. from the weather lab. Looks like Fay's track will true to what we were thinking the past two days. Will work ashore along the sw coastline and then move slowly north up towards Ocala and then Jax. Will bring worst weather Tuesday afternoon and overnight. Winds of 30-40 mph will be common...with gusts up to 50mph. Should pick up 2" of rain with up to 6" to the southeast of Orlando. Glad this is a weak system...and not a cat. 3 hurricane. This path would of been a worst case scenario for us if it were stronger.
