Re: Watching 98L Off East Florida Coastline

These systems that pop up close to land are called "home brew" style systems, and can come up relatively quickly and surprise folks. This morning the system wasn't even really worth mentioning, but it changed by the afternoon.
Yes, I remember a couple of years ago we had one of these small "irrelevant" systems right off our coastline which turned info a tropical storm (or was it a Cat1?) literally overnight and everybody was baffled as to where the hell it had come from.
So far, and even though 98L is right off our coast, we don't feel much here, in New Smyrna Beach. West Palm Beach seems to be even closer to the system than we are.
