Tropical Atlantic Satellite.

Noted the circulation system southeast of Florence. That might become a significant threat to potentially the Gulf and/or the East Coast. It is far lower in latitude with a different trajectory than Florence, especially if there is an East Pacific storm to oscillate the system. This smaller system could be absorbed by Florence as well as it grows in strength. I consider the entire planet a system so these storms are more of an overall equation than individual systems. In the reverse, if Florence diminishes in strength/velocity the smaller system currently without a number will manifest in greater capacity.

It's the way I see it and considering the events of the recent past there is no reason not to speculate to the outcome.
