Very interesting this morning. Closest buoy just to the east of it-42001 now reporting 25 knot winds, gusting to 33 knots with a pressure of 1009 mb. A ship that's even closer and slightly south of it reporting a pressure of 1008 mb and a light west wind. Lower level vorticity increasing. Upper level divergence increasing, lower level convergence increasing, shear decreasing. I think we may see an invest placed on it today.

I'm guessing that something is cooking out there...

We are north of Tallahassee and have those low tell-tale clouds swiftly moving eastward.

We are still new to N FL... but, they are the type of clouds that would have been a sure sign of development when we were down south.

check out the extreme S. BOC. A little spin is definitely moving over the water.

Possible, but it is moving SW if it exists.
