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.

Chalk it up to the Trump Hurricane Machine.

Thanks for your valuable local info. The 0500 NHC Discussion reports the storm has, indeed, developed some tropical characteristics.

Great to have you back for another episode of the silly season!
