If one cares to follow the 'line' between the Pacific storm and the current storm in the Gulf there is a straight line between that extends to the Arctic Circle. It is along that line there will be the greatest force affecting these storms and there 'predictable' vorticity.

It's been my experience whenever there is a 'counter' turbulence in the Pacific, the Atlantic manifests a significant storm in greater dynamics than the Pacific storm; nearly in exact alignment with each other. One can nearly draw a straight edge between them.

There is still plenty of heat spilling off Africa and it is also connected to the "Ingrid" system. Being a weather forecaster and attempting to protect the public is getting to be an impossible job. Take a deep breath and do all you can, maintain a 'stress-free' environment to prevent errors. You are all in my thoughts. Good Luck !

"Ingrid" may turn out to have some activity yet. This system is well supported all the way to the equator, crossing the Central American area of the continent. The system supporting this new vortex and Ingrid is extremely large and unpredictable. The manifestation of the vortex over Florida alone proves the high turbulence at work today.
These babies happen fast. Look out ! Consider evacuations ! In my opinion, there is high probablity of tornadoes.

According to the National Hurricane Center, a large area of disturbed weather over the western Atlantic northern Bahamas and the east coast of Florida is associated with a tropical wave interacting with an upper-level low.
NOAA/NHC graphicThis National Hurricane Center map shows a system of low pressure that is expected to move across Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. Meterologists say that the system has the potential to become a tropical storm.
There are no signs of organization at this time. However, surface pressures are gradually falling and environmental conditions appear favorable for a subtropical or a tropical cyclone to form over the next day or two as the disturbance moves westward over Florida and intothe Gulf of Mexico.
Regardless of development, this system will likely bring showers, squalls and locally heavy rains over portions of Florida during the next day or two....
