FIFTEEN is forecast to become Nadine prior to making landfall along or near Belize this weekend, and we do have a forecast lounge up on this system: Nadine Forecast Lounge

Invest 95L in the northwest Caribbean is now PTC FIFTEEN and Advisories are being issued. Those with interests in Central America and the Yucatan may want to begin paying close attention as a potentially flood-producing tropical cyclone is likely this weekend.

Invest 94L in the eastern Tropical Atlantic could become a concern later this week for portions of the Antilles, and we have started a Forecast Lounge on it Oscar Forecast Lounge

Original Update
The last advisories on Milton have been issued and beyond Milton, Leslie is still churning, and invest 94L is also potentially the next system in the eastern Atlantic that may make it all the way to the Caribbean. This year has a lot of late activity in the MDR, which is fairly unusual for October, since typically we start looking closer in toward the Gulf and Western Caribbean for development this time of year.
Milton had significant impacts to Florida from tornadoes, to rain to surge and wind, but the rapid shear induced weakening prevented the truly catastrophic scale.

I think Florida is out of the woods for the rest of October given the dominate high that has settled in over the southeast US coast. Still, plenty of fuel remaining in the Caribbean Sea, and consistent model runs suggest a large area of low pressure will try to spin up a TC during the first week in November- possibly becoming a hurricane tracking to the NE of Puerto Rico by election day.
This fall's late hurricane season set-up reminds me of 1984 when a Thanksgiving nor-easter ramped up due to strong high pressure holding over the eastern seaboard combined with an area of low pressure drifting north in the Bahamas to produce near-hurricane-force onshore winds and 8-10" of rain along Florida's central east coast for several days, leading to severe erosion and coastal flooding. At the time, worked at Long Point Park and lived on a sailboat anchored in a hurricane hole near Sebastion Inlet. Water levels in the Indian River Lagoon rose due to the flooding rains, onshore flow combined with lunar peak tides to produce levels 3-4' above normal. We told campers in the park to leave immediately or shelter in place as the water inundated the park.
