Alberto looks to be a rain event more than a wind event as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico. However, Alberto is forecast to strengthen while moving Northward over the GOM.

The government of Cuba has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the
Cuban province of Pinar del Rio.

A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for the Dry Tortugas in the

Hey! Been missing me some NautiNurse! But, you’re here a little early this year!

In yesterday’s update Bastardi said rapid intensification to a CAT 1 just off the Gulf coastline is a strong possibility.

Rain event is right. It killed my keys fishing trip this weekend. I can’t even hit my local bass spots here in south Florida due to the waves of rain. Hopefully we can still get the BBQ going on Monday.

Hi NN thanks for doing this its much appreciated!We have had rain and gusting winds all night here in the Upper Keys.At Molasses reef buoy offshore of Key Largo we had gusts to 36 knots,over 40 mph at 4:00 am accompanied by lots of rain.
The buoy at the Dry Tortugas shows peak gust of 33/34 knots with a barometer of 29.61 and air temp of 80.1 which is more than enough to sustain this thing if indeed it uses warm water! I'm still confused as to what grows this storm.
