Tropical Storm expected to impact the Florida Keys and Gulf Coast in the coming days.
East Coast should also keep an eye on the potential for a hurricane in about 10 days, but that is only a possibility for now.
Straight line yeah right lol

Outside levee protection will be advised to evacuate but this will just be rain on Tuesday night and Wednesday for New Orleans.
Still worth keeping a close eye on because intensity is still something that the models often get really wrong.
Hurricane watches are out for Gordon now. Even though it shows Tropical Storm strength at landfall here, I think it has a good chance of developing into a Cat 1 or 2 hurricane.
I live in the midwest near the great lakes and it always seems like gulf storms push into the midwest and dump tons of rain. I can remember Opal and Gustav and a few other times where the rain from those things just lingers for days. Gustav was still a damn tropical depression and I had to drive home from college in it.
I didnt even know there was a damn tropical storm in Florida. Got some rain and thunder last 2 days.
Well, Baton Rouge already handled one weak ass hurricane last night.
Good luck with Gordan.
Dallas looks like it's in the path now. Forecast is showing rain every day now. Hope my Louisiana and Mississippi brethren are going to be okay.
Nola here and I'm in the process of moving my GF to Mississippi over the next couple of days. Most of the moving will be done on Saturday though so I hope nothing major happens this Wednesday
On the plus side it's finally lowered the temp a bit here

Euro really wants some Hurricanes, 168 hr out.
Florence heading SW on Day 10...
It sort of worked. Next 10 day forecast is 50% storms and 10 degrees cooler.
Was driving back from the Keys today, asked my wife where the storm was, she said we are right in the middle of it. Upper Keys were nasty.
Holiday + named storm is not fun driving on Florida Keys single lane roads.

Well shit. I'm glad Gordon wasn't too bad, my sister and the rest of South Florida needs a break of a year. Keeping an eye on that Florence though, possibility of a direct hit here. The drawback of cutting cable is these storms just come out of nowhere for me now.
Oh no. I wouldn't drive that on Labor Day even if the weather was perfect.
Looks like landfall is around 8PM tomorrow night instead of 2AM Wednesday, though effects of the storm will appear much earlier then that. Sill very late at night which will cause a lot of issues.
Convection has really picked up in the last few hours, should be Hurricane status by morning.
Waiting on some storms to come North East, this time last year we already had at least one 10 foot surfing swell. Mother Nature is slacking. (Of course I'm looking at it from the aspect of surfing, it's not all fun and games and it's not lost on the riders that the same storm they are enjoying, killed hundreds the previous week)
Hurricane Nate made second landfall at Biloxi last year. Parents house got flooded last year, hope we don't have a repeat of that. We've gotten a lot of rainfall over the past several days so I hope the surge is low and the storm is quick enough where it doesn't sit and dump rain.

2am forecast now out. Time and location of impact similar to three hours ago. Wind speed picking up slightly.
I have to go into work at my restaurant today which seems like a terrible idea. No one is going out to eat tonight. But hey what's our safety when compared to a $500 night for the owners lol
Atlantic has been cooler most of the year actually, except the Gulf which is hot af, but then we've got other unfavorable things like wind shear, Saharan dust and other elements bringing down formation. Hurricanes don't just need hot water, there's some crazy amount of thermodynamics that allow them to form.
But Irma, Jose and Harvey was all this week and last week last year
