Northern Gulf of America and near Florida (AL91): An area of low pressure located over the northeastern Gulf of America continues to become better defined and the associated shower and thunderstorm activity is gradually increasing. Continued gradual development is expected, and a tropical depression is likely to form later today or on Monday as the system moves slowly northward or northwestward.
Interests along the northern Gulf coast from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana should monitor the progress of this system, as tropical storm watches or warnings could be required for portions of the area later today. In addition, this system is expected to bring heavy rains to portions of the northern Gulf coast during the next several days. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the low pressure area later today.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

It is hard to beat,50 years later its still home for me.
But how can it be the exact same at Sombrero Reef Light off Marathon in the Florida Keys hundreds of miles South!!no way!! Something is going on.!!
my mistake forgot to click on the buoy.
O’ccam’s Razor would indicate a computer glitch of some sort, and the IT folks that work for government are too lazy to fix it.
Well to be fair since they all live in Bangalore they probably have no idea that there’s a storm in the US.

Hi Nautinurse.((((Hugs))))
Reports of up to 4’ surge on the Alabama barrier islands (Gulf Shores and Dauphin Island). The slow storm is piling up water.
