We continue to track Potential Tropical Cyclone # 1. At 5 am Saturday, it was located near 25.6 North, 83.1 West, about 100 miles southwest of Fort Myers. Potential TC # 1 was moving northeast at a much more rapid 18 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour, but this system is really struggling to establish a closed circulation — or even a decently-defined center. Potential TC # 1 is still expected to become Tropical Storm Alex after it crosses the Florida peninsula and enters the Atlantic overnight.
For South Florida, the major threat from Potential TC # 1 continues to be the flooding rains that we’re dealing with. We can expect a total of 6 to 10 inches of rainfall, with up to 15 inches possible in isolated locations in South Florida. Continue to take necessary measures to protect your home from flooding, and if you absolutely have to go outside, be extremely careful.
Elsewhere in the tropics, a small area of low pressure about 100 miles south of Bermuda has virtually no chance of developing into a depression during the next several days.
