I am by no means an expert, but my understanding is that the extra hot current of water in the gulf that was present during the Katrina, Irma, Michael years is back.

You’re right it seems like there have been less than normal, but isn’t prime storm season, September/October?

It is, but we are definitely well behind normal on the amount of names storms for the Atlantic and Gulf.

We have been getting a lot of bad storms here lately in the panhandle. Here in PCB it has been an extremely wet summer compared to the last few years.

Very true. Since we hadn’t gotten to peak season yet, I hadn’t even thought about that until you brought it up.

We need to watch this one fellas, we are in the long term cone, and the euro model has it hitting/near Tampa.

 

[SpikeUM]

About the same cone, but a stronger storm now. Ominously, the Euro model still has it very close to Florida's west coast.

It’s so far away right now, that the cone really gets wider as it gets closer to where you live. But right now, and take it with a grain of salt of course, the very center of the cone is several hundred miles west of where you live, which would be around Tuesday through Thursday of next week. Of course, no telling if it veers right or left. Probably by Sunday or Monday you’ll have a better idea. Good luck. I mean who knows maybe it’s going to hit where I live
