Tampa Bay Hurricane, first of all, chill. -we have a long long time to worry about nothing. The odds are against these things developing at all. Secondly, if they were to develop, they are way too far away to say whether they would go fish or threaten any land yet. Third, even if they were to develop, odds are that we won't get a direct hit from a Cape Verde system on this side of the state with the ridge(s) were they are now. The ridges can and probably will move by say 10 days, but still way way too far out to try and predict something like this. The speed of the waves, and subsequently any further developed tropical system could really alter any guess at when it could arrive. We see storms move at 5 knots or like 25 knots. Obviously a faster storm would get here sooner and a slower one could take an additional week!
Bottom line, no need to worry about things sitting in Africa if you live in Tampa! Relax and enjoy paradise while you can!
