The GOM low has indeed been repressing Eduard all week so far, but the outflow seems to have lessened and/or shifted to the west a bit...that should bode for strengthening of Edouard, BUT it is now only a few miles east of the upper Volusia county coast line and is definitely going to make a land fall today there...it seems to be moving more rapidly than 3mph, and as many of these systems do may scoot quickly across the peninsula, I see some indications that a feeder band is beginning to form showers in the SE GOM with the line going across the Lee county area and up to the storm itself...check the NWS-Melbourne longrange loop...IF the NW GOM system weakens or moves ashore, then Eduard may become more formidable on the GOM side of Florida in the next couple of days...
