With that high anchored over the GoM, just about nothing is going to go there soon. It has been a very strange summer so far with low level westerlies controlling the weather over FL rather than the usual easterly flow. I miss my afternoon thunderstorms here on the west coast.
Excellent observation. Here on the east coast of FL we've been drenched by storms the last few weeks, all coming in from the west. They are not the "pop up" type of thunderstorms either, they have been forming in a line like a front. Awhile back there was even a small tornado in Tamarac which is highly unusual.
93L has a huge circulation associated with it but between it an Central America is pool of dry air. Interesting to watch all those little eddies spinning out there, but none of them seem to be able to get their act together. Gret is toast, just like Franklin before - both formed way too far north to even have a chance. In fact I'm still trying to figure out how Franklin got named, it never looked like a TS to me.
