Re: Subtropical Storm Andrea Forms off Florida/Georgia Coast

The storm may not be much different than what it was last night, but NHC wasn't going to make the call until a plane got in there to observe the structure of the system.

I doubt the fires have had much effect on the system. Some of the individual convective cells on the periphery of the system may be affected by ingesting the smoke (akin to a cloud "seeding" effect), but the overall structure of the system should not be affected.
