I hope it degrades and everyone is fine.

With a current barometric pressure of 1003 millibars, that's a pretty weak low, so shouldn't be too much of a storm.

Looking at the projected path in the original post, you can clearly see the impact of the Bermuda high, a semi permanent high pressure system usually centered around Bermuda this time of year. It steers these systems and prevents them from a more eastward track until it starts breaking down late Aug.

Since wind flows clockwise around a high and the Bermuda high is in it's normal place right now, the east coast is getting warm moist air pumped in from the south.

That explains the high dew points, (humidity), and warm temps.

Not exactly a nothingburger, I already know people who have lost power. No power in July in Florida truly sucks.

Keeping fingers crossed that our travel schedule is trailing the path by 12 hrs.   Getting the residual effect on the east coast so far.

Drive safely, and if you cannot hunker down until it passes.

Yet somehow I'm sure it will be "historic", like all other weather/climate fear porn.

Stay safe.

The absolutely stupidest thing Mrs. snafu and I ever did was think we were skirting far enough west of a hurricane when we were driving our kids through the Carolinas. It was like a rain blizzard with flying trees and live wires.

Already is historic... 1st time in 134 years that a hurricane hits the tampa area this early in the season.

if they lost power in Tampa already

it wasn't because of the storm

 

the outer bands haven't even got that far north yet

I understand it could also be the first hurricane to hit on a Thursday during a waxing quarter moon phase when the Mets occupy first place.  Historic!

Watching a couple areas for potential development

Updated: August 9, 2021 3:00 AM EDT

 

There are currently no organized tropical systems found across the Atlantic basin, but we are monitoring a couple areas for potential development over the next few days.

 

One area of low pressure, Invest 93L, is located around 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Potential development with this feature looks less likely as satellite imagery shows the thunderstorms associated with 93L have weakened over the last 6-12 hours.

 

The main area of concern is another low pressure area designated as Invest 94L. Satellite imagery shows that thunderstorms associated with 94L have become more robust over the last 6-12 hours. Invest 94L may organize further into a depression or storm over the next day or so. Regardless, 94L will bring some gusty winds and heavy rain to portions of the Lesser Antilles by later tonight.
