TD 18 looking much better on IR & Visible Sat this morning. Would not be surprised to see it being upgraded to Rita later on today, probably this evening or tonight. This is looking more like a Keys to extreme south Fla event, because of the building high which will keep it on a generally w to wnw direction. This potentially could be a strong TS or Cat 1 as it passes throught the straits, Keys or extreme S Fla, in any scenario , looks to be a messy mid-week for S. Fla.
