Good morning! Today's forecast is on target with only isolated storms expected across mainly inland southwest Florida later today. We have an area of rising air with a front over the Carolinas and another associated with the remnants of TD 5 over the northern Gulf of Mexico. In between, the general idea is for sinking air over south Florida which will help to limit the coverage of showers and storms this afternoon. Essentially, we're looking at the same pattern for tomorrow. More rain is possible by Sunday afternoon.
Also, don't be surprised if TD5 (or some form of it) comes back to life in the far northern Gulf early next week as a front forces the remnant low back into the Gulf. Upper level wind should be favorable for development; the only question is how far south into the Gulf does the remnant low get. The farther south -- the better chance of development as it will spend more time in the Gulf. We'll keep an eye on it for you this weekend; either way, we don't expect it to really affect our weather very much.
Have a great weekend!
Brian
