FLHurricane.com: Watching the Gulf

Update - July 9th, 6:30PM EDT
Flhurricane has moved to a new server setup with Hostdime.com, and includes the beginnings of a new layout. The new server setup will enable some of the new features planned for the site. There has been a minor site redesign in the process, but more is coming.

Currently there is nothing active in the Atlantic basin.

Update - July 7th, 11PM EDT
The system in the Gulf (96L) looks more disorganized tonight but still has a 40% chance for development over the next two days. If it does, it will likely be subtropical in nature and not very strong.

Either way it will bring plenty of rain to Florida, and will likely cause the final shuttle launch to be delayed.

Those along the gulf coast will want to continue to monitor this system.

Update - July 7th, Noon
A tropical wave has moved through the Florida Straits into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and a weak low, probably subtropical in nature, has formed at the surface. The system has been designated as Invest 96L and some additional development is possible for the next day or two as the system moves toward the northeast Gulf coast. See the Storm Forum for additional information.

Watching two main areas this morning, and two other areas.
1) Just off of the Southern Jamaican Coast a large convective complex has formed. Early images indicate little or no shear in the area.

2) Area near the Turks and Caicos islands. Not a lot to be seen there.

3) Large amplitude tropical wave moving through the Lower Bahamas and Florida Straits.

4) ULLs located just North of the Yucatan Peninsula and about 300 miles east of Jacksonville,FL
