Florida may want to keep their eyes peeled on Yucatan...

(quick post)There is a broad area of low pressure north of the Yucatan that appears to be wrapping some thunderstorms into it. There is a lot LOT of energy west and south of Florida...so as long as the convection persists we may have TD8 or Hanna brewing by Thursday. I'll have more later tonight or tomorrow on this system.

I will say one thing. As one person was mentioning on here a day or two ago, Florida is long overdue for a major storm from the west. Not saying this (if it forms) will be one but is interesting to ponder.

*I also can't think of any storms that have formed near the Yucatan Peninsula and effected Florida. Can anyone think of any of these storms? Seems like they occured quite a bit in the 30's through the 60's.*
