Re: Disturbance off the Carolinas

Here's what the Indian River County Emergency Office sent on its email weather update a few minutes ago:
"Hurricane recon aircraft investigating satellite investigation 99L this afternoon have found a well defined closed circulation and surface winds near tropical storm strength. It is likely that the National Hurricane Center will upgrade this system to either Tropical Depression Seven or Tropical Storm Gabrielle at 5:00 p.m. This afternoon’s computer guidance has had a more westerly trend for the projected path of this developing system. However, it appears that most of the models have not initialized the system in the correct location. Once the data from the hurricane hunters is ingested into the model runs, it will be interesting to see if the westerly trend continues. In any event, climatology would dictate a track to the north, but we will need to pay attention just in case. I will continue to monitor and advise as needed."
May it just pull a Kyle from a few seasons ago and meander around the Atlantic spinning up fish before it dies!
