Re: Invest 94L Ramped up overnight, and back down in the morning

Let's hope for everyones sake that a repeat of 2004 isn't in the cards.
At least Florida has picked up some helpful servings of rain. Very generous servings, eh?

As for closely-timed storms following the same path, it almost certainly has to do with the steering currents which navigated the first storm still being about the same by the time a "closely-timed" storm comes along. This isn't always the case, of course, but it has happened plenty of times with storms that are closely-timed and just close to each other.
