After watching NHC name several storms way out in the Atlantic this summer that lasted less than 2 days and would affect no one, one wonders why they did not pull the trigger on this weekend's Florida wind/rainmaker? Several ground truth stations reported wind gusts 70-80 mph with more rainfall (5-10") than what the Hurricanes of 2004 brought to FL. Stu Ostro of The Weather Channel and Joe Bastardi also wonder why no name. NHC's reply...it wasn't warm core system. Easy doing Monday morning QBacking, but it does appear the damage reported in Brevard County warranted the naming of this system. They is nothing else brewing in the tropical Atlantic for the next 5-7 days. Stay tuned!
In the short term, as the upper low lifts out and takes the weak surface low with it, we'll stay mostly dry thru the rest of this week. A weak front will drift thru late Thurday bringing slightly cooler air for Friday & Saturday. A much stronger front should arrive next week on Tuesday or Wednesday bringing us some real cool Fall weather (40s at night, 65-70 during Day) that'll bring out your jackets and sweaters!
