Tropical depression #22, according to nearly all of the hurricane intensity models, will quickly spin up into Wilfred. By Friday evening, the system will have acquired tropical storm force winds (sustained winds of 40 mph or greater) and the hurricane center will make the announcement, that they are officially out of names for this season. Only the season of 2005 have we done this since lists of names were announce ahead of each season. TD #22 likely to named Wilfred later todayNote on the picture below that the “cone of uncertainty” becomes a bulb, this is an indication that the forecast from the National Hurricane Center has unusually high levels of uncertainty, basically a low confidence forecast. The good news is that this will be a slow moving system.

Locally two bands of showers from southeast Georgia to south of I-10 across northeast Florida will continue to move from the west to east.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – When measuring up this upcoming weekend nor’easter, at first glance, with Sally expected to move reasonably quickly onshore along the Central Gulf of Mexico, our weekend nor’easter had the set-up of being one of the stronger nor’easter we have seen in years. Three day rainfall amounts around Jacksonville will range from 3″ at area beaches to about an inch along US301. Sally is the one to watch as an “influencer” on our weekend weather. In other words, allow for flooding rains this weekend into early next week. Here’s more on the tropics: Sally and Sally and our local forecast.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – With storm warnings issued that include Florida’s Panhandle, the Atlantic storm season is a Wilfred away from going Greek. Hurricane Sally was threatening the Gulf Coast on Monday, with a hurricane warning in effect from Morgan City, Louisiana, to Navarre, Florida, according to the National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning was in effect from Navarre in Santa Rosa County to Indian Pass in Gulf County. Meanwhile, the hurricane center on Monday was tracking four other named storms in the Atlantic Ocean — Paulette, Rene, Teddy and Vicky. That has only occurred once before, in 2005, when there were 27 named storms.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Massive autumn high pressure to dominate the eastern United States this weekend, sounds great, except if you live along the coastline of Georgia into Central Florida. With a super-sized high pressure to our north and general lower than normal air pressure all around Jacksonville. So, that’s high pressure north and low pressure to the south, the greater the difference, the greater the coastal winds. There will be also be a possibility of another coastal tropical low pressure that could form within the battle field of high and low pressure. Wilfred will likely develop from TD #21 in the far, far, far eastern Atlantic Ocean.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The tropical storm that formed Saturday off south Florida is now a Category 1 hurricane over the warm Gulf waters. Sally is expected to approach the Gulf Coast on Monday night with high winds and a life-threatening storm surge. At noon on Monday, data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigating Sally indicated the system has rapidly strengthened to a hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of around 85 mph with higher gusts. Sally has 65 mph sustained winds and was centered about 115 miles east southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The National Hurricane Center said dangerous storm surge was possible along the northern Gulf Coast starting on Monday and added hurricane conditions could set in there early Tuesday.

The NHC began issuing advisories on Tropical Depression 19 at 5 p.m. Friday. Forecasters predict 2 to 4 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches across west-central and southern Florida, including the Florida Keys, through Sunday. The depression is expected to grow into Tropical Storm Sally once it is over open water in the Gulf of Mexico later in the day. It will be the 18th named storm of this over-the-top hurricane season. Sally could intensify to a strong tropical storm or even Category 1 hurricane as it approaches the Mississippi/Louisiana coastline early Wednesday morning.

It may sound rude, but experts say ignoring your co-workers at the office helps employees avoid burnout.
