BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The system that seemed destined for Louisiana just yesterday now appears to be on a potential path for Florida.
The National Hurricane Center says the yellow oval you see on the map above is not a storm at this point. The yellow area represents where a system may form, not necessarily a direction of travel. But there is no denying its apparent proximity to Florida.
The good news: nothing is likely to happen for at least five days. And even then, it’s questionable as to what — if anything — the system will become.
Meantime, Major Hurricane Larry continues its curve back to the northeast. It is unlikely to interact with the United States Mainland.
This is the early morning update from the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Mon Sep 6 2021 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Larry, located over the central Atlantic about 800 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. 1. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula and south-central Gulf of Mexico are associated with a surface trough and an upper-level disturbance. The system is forecast to move slowly northward or northeastward over the central and then northeastern Gulf of Mexico, likely reaching the northern Gulf coast in a few days. Although upper-level winds are currently unfavorable for development to occur, they are expected to become marginally conducive for tropical cyclone formation in a couple of days. The disturbance is then expected to cross the southeastern United States beginning midweek, and some development will be possible once it emerges over the Atlantic waters late this week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...30 percent.
