It looks like a tropical depression or some sort of Low pressure system forming East of Florida later on in the week.

Off to go study this. Early hurricane season?

Wednesday onward...Increasing shower and thunderstorm chances
through the end of the week, as moisture lifts back into the area
along a stalled boundary. Brisk easterly flow around 15-20 kts
continuing into the start of the weekend, as high pressure moves
offshore of the Mid Atlantic coast. Seas building to 4-5 ft
Wednesday will become hazardous through the end of the week

NHC talking and now has hit the local news media. My wife just said, "What a hurricane already". I had to tell her...uh...no...maybe a weak low. Funny how people see something in the media and all of a sudden it is going to happen. But, Cheers to some good surf coming... *knock on wood*

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
240 PM EDT Thu May 14 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued to discuss the potential
for tropical or subtropical development near the northwest Bahamas.

1. A trough of low pressure over the Straits of Florida is producing a
large area of cloudiness and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
are expected to become conducive for development, and this system
is likely to become a tropical or subtropical storm by late Friday
or Saturday when it is located near the northwestern Bahamas. The
system is then forecast to move generally northeastward over the
western Atlantic early next week.

Regardless of development, the disturbance has the potential to
bring heavy rainfall to portions of the Florida Keys, southeast
Florida, and the Bahamas through Saturday. Tropical-storm-force wind
gusts are also possible in the Florida Keys, southeast Florida, and
the Bahamas during the next day or two. Hazardous marine conditions
are also expected along the Florida east coast and in the Bahamas
where Gale Warnings are in effect. See products from your local
weather office and High Seas Forecasts for more details. An Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate
this system tomorrow, if necessary. The next Special Tropical
Weather Outlook on this system will be issued by 9 PM EDT today, or
earlier, if necessary.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Looks like a coast hugger to me. Maybe something to ride, late Sunday or Monday. If I had to go to work I dont think I would be skipping work for this.

Plus, as mentioned in another thread, have to do alot of looking around to find a bottom that allows for a decent break. I dont know of one from SBI to NSB.

-------------------------
So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

I don't know. I'm kind of excited about Monday AM prospects, except that I had planned to the airboat to Hamant for new headers first thing in the morning.
