Watched Channel 10 weather which I usually don't watch. Trent was on and he said a low pressure has formes over Grand Bahama moving slowly west which should increase our rain chances, but we already knew that from the 10:30pm.

The local met here (CBS - Tampabay's 10) continued to "hint" throughout his weathercast Monday night that it "may" make it to the surface and "he'll be watching".

The 00Z CMC has really jumped on development east of the Bahamas in the 5-6 day time frame and slowly moves the system N or NW. Meanwhile, both the 00Z GFS and Nogaps take an open wave across S FL or through the straits into the GOM and develop weak lows with GFS in the north-central GOM and the Nogaps more south in the western GOM. Both of these models also show an open wave east of the Bahamas where the CMC develops its low 5-6 days down the road. To summarize, looks like all the models are keying in on the current Bahamas system & moving it west into the GOM where two models develop weak lows. In addition, most of the models have a wave east of the Bahamas in 5-6 days that only the CMC spins up. Could get interesting this week.

GFS is also picking up something that spins up from PR, east of Bahamas. Hmmm.

The channel 7 "discussion" should clear things up. http://www.wsvn.com/weather/

Discussion:
Umbrellas on-hold!

It's the heart of the rainy season, but rain hasn't been very impressive lately. In Miami, we've seen less than one-tenth of an inch of rain over the past week! Right now, we're running slightly more than 2 inches below-average for the month of June (usually our wettest month of the year).

Rain chances will continue throughout the week, with a better chance at showers and storms arriving just before the weekend. Until then, winds will still come in from the Atlantic and, at times, a few showers will move in on the breeze. Our easterly flow will also keep humidity levels up, along with more warm nights and hot days.

As for the tropics, we're watching 3 tropical waves. At least for now, conditions aren't ripe for any kind of development. Enjoy these quiet times!

For the latest information keep it only on one station, 7 News.

System now is moving NNE out to sea. So much for any chance of needed rain.

First visible images show no signs of low or mid-level circulation and pressures are high in the area too. It just a cluster of thunderstorms that will probably die off later today.

I don't believe it is moving NNE. The ULL to its west is causing the cloud tops to blow off. IT bears watching

Awhile back when alberto was being picked up by the models a lot of people said it would not form. Also they posted information that joe b from accuweather said after 6-20 he expects some activity and this was weeks back. Here it is the 20th and models are picking up on things in the near 5-7 day time frame. They could be on to something here. We'll have to keep watching. What time frame would we be looking at for it to cross florida? If it devolps or not.

Arthur (1996) was the last storm to form in June and in the Bahamas area.
