The system is already on the move and will produce a 36-48 hour rain event for Florida, with some tropical storm force winds on the west coast. NWS Tampa believes that the center will be west of Tampa by Saturday afternoon. We can probably expect landfall in the Big Bend on Sunday. I am impressed by the way this system has developed today. I am fairly confident that we will see Barry classified soon. I agree with scott that the baroclinic environment will actually help strengthen this system as a hybrid storm...not uncommon early and late in the season for the Gulf of Mexico. |
