LABOR DAY WEEKEND: ANOTHER (AND CLOSER) TROPICAL WAVE ON THE WAY
Although most models are not showing signs of development at this time, one of the most reliable models, the European model, has been consistent in showing a tropical wave approaching Florida by Labor Day Weekend.
Luckily, as it approaches Florida, it does not show signs of development. If it survives going through the Peninsula, it could develop further over the Gulf of Mexico.
As of now, South Florida through southern Central Florida could expect tropical moisture to surge just in time for the Labor Day Weekend. Severe Weather Center 9 will continue to monitor the evolution of this wave, as it could still move well south of Florida, keeping the storm chances closer to normal for the season. Or if it moves a bit more north, then storm coverage will be enhanced. It is not possible to point of the exact track the wave will take, as it is very disorganized and there are other atmospheric factors to consider.
