Air recon data shows we now have Tropical Storm #Idalia near Cozumel, Mexico. Hurricane, Storm Surge and Tropical Storm Watches likely issued for Florida later today. 27Aug2023

#TD10's low level center peaking out on satellite. Still has some organizing to do but it has time while sitting over warm water. Tropical systems like to be nicely organized with the low level center (LLC) under / surrounded by storms. 10aCDT/11aEDT 27Aug2023

In the Eastern Pacific Tropical Storm #irwin has formed about 820miles (1,315km) WSW of S tip of Baja. Expected to fall apart later this week over open waters. 27Aug2023

#TD10 still sitting near Cancun, Mexico. Watches for the US mainland likely coming later today (time based issued - 48 hours prior to wind start arrival). NHC has 90mph near FL coast, but can't rule out rapid intensification & stronger storm. Please be prepared! 27Aug2023 #FLwx

Hurricane #Franklin expected to rapidly intensify into Cat4 hurricane as passes between the US East coast and Bermuda per NHC. Please use caution during the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend as rip current dangers will be high along the East coast! 27Aug2023

#TD10 - soon to be Tropical Storm #Idalia 5pEDT 26Aug2023

Southeast US impacts include: winds, some tree damage / downed trees, temporary power outages, rains, short lived tornadoes, coastal flooding.

Tropical Depression Ten #TD10 near Cancun, Mexico Saturday afternoon. 26Aug2023

Tropical Storm #Franklin remains a highly sheared system with low level center exposed. Storms being pushed to the Southeast by wind shear (storms like to be stacked nice and neat). Will eventually turn more North into favorable conditions and strengthen. While expected to stay off the US East coast it will create dangerous rip currents as we head towards the busy Labor Day weekend. May clip or come near Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland. 25Aug2023

Watching the Gulf of Mexico next week for some potential tropical trouble. Models mixed on development/conditions for it. Will have better idea this weekend. For now it’s area of scattered showers with potential & increased chances of rains for the S.E. US at least. 24Aug2023

More of an October pattern than late August for the area being monitored in Gulf of Mexico and TS Franklin (as far as movement direction). 24Aug2023

Heavy rains from Tropical Storm #Franklin continue to affect Dominican Republic and nearby region Wednesday morning. 23Aug23

Impressive tail on Harold, reaching all the way back into the Gulf of Mexico pulling moisture. 520CDT 23Aug23

Tropical Storm #Franklin has struggled last 24-hours. Scattered heavy showers continue over portions of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

Zigzag track ahead. Models suggest uncomfortably close to Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland perhaps. US East coast monitor in case changes.
