Hopefully not a peninsula FL threat

My gut feel is the weather will be far removed from the center, so it's
gonna whack the panhandle no matter what.

I hate to say this but I feel the Florida panhandle has a better chance than Louisiana. I just don't buy the nnw move and then a nw move at the end toward Louisiana. Climatologically storms move north to north east at this time of the year from that location. Also it seems the ridge will weaken later this week. But even if the center was to move over Louisiana the worst part of the weather would be east toward Florida. I hope this is not a sign of more bad days ahead for you guys in Florida.

Actually the ridge is suppose to strengthen but hey anything can happen.

Yes that is my current thinking at this point but the forecast is for the shear to lessen as the upper leve trough currently in the Gulf is replaced by a ridge. In that case the activity may be only far enough east to impact the panhandle but not the west coast.

It won't affect Boca Raton.

StormChasr, let me set the record straight, I took a gamble on the EPAC system...as a warm up but it was the first system and we all knew it had little chance to strengthen or even come close to FL...so I didn't have much to lose..but now that we are in the Atlantic hurricane season you won't see me as radical in my discussions or predictions or any bias towards S. Florida strikes .
