REGARDLESS OF ANY ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT...THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AND ISOLATED GUSTY WINDS OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHERN CUBA...THE FLORIDA KEYS AND SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY AS IT MOVES GENERALLY NORTHEASTWARD NEAR 15 MPH.

Well look what popped up in February....
Designated Invest 90L at this time and situated between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba, Invest 90 is not expected to become a tropical storm, there exists a possibility for sub-tropical development. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring this area.
Latest placement has this system at 22.0N 86.0W with winds of 25 MPH and a central pressure of 1014 MB.
Looking at this time to be more of a rainmaker for southwest Florida than anything else. There may be some rough seas around the area also. Here's a look at the Radar out of Key West Florida...

While this may be an early start to the tropical season and somewhat unusual, there has been development this early in this area before; 1952 Groundhog Day tropical storm
good thing about this is south florida needs rain
ReplyDeleteFlordia could use the rain, as well as the south and southeast. Feeling like we will have one maybe two come our direction here in Georgia this year. Hoping anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Johnny.
