Gulf Moisture Aims for Florida; Possible Subtropical Development?


The satellite image below (click to animate) shows moisture streaming eastward to the southern portion of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico. This will help enhance rainfall chances in the Florida Peninsula (particularly south) through Monday.

As strange as it may seem, the National Hurricane Center is actually monitoring this area of disturbed weather in the Gulf of Mexico for a slight chance of subtropical or tropical development!

Subtropical depressions or storms are systems not purely tropical, but at the same time are not just your typical low-pressure system running from west to east across the country. They are somewhere in between, a hybrid system, that the National Hurricane Center still issues advisories and forecasts (i.e. projected path) for and assigns a number or name much like a regular tropical depression or tropical storm.

Has a tropical or subtropical storm ever roamed the Atlantic basin in February? Yes. In 1952 a tropical storm moved from out of the Gulf of Mexico and across southern Florida with winds to 60 mph.
