Didn’t the gulf get the memo that hurricane season is over?
Ha!
A storm flag warning on Feb 5th.
Is this the earliest you’ve ever pinged one out?
Well blow my dress up!!!!!! A hurricane in Feburary, who woudda thunk it!
Gulf water temps too cold despite the warmish weather for this storm to be a power house
WOW.....thanks...
Hmmm... a tropical storm in February. Crazy weather.
I initially thought it was a new stocks future. :)
That said, we could use the rain.
I initially thought it was a new stocks IPO. :)

Someone better tell the groundhog
I’ve been thankful for the warm weather. My bones don’t like the cold. I’ve been wondering if it’s going to be a busy storm year.
My pool is over the top (that's 8+ inches) and the streets of Key West, with the aid of conch engineering, are flooded

Hey NN,
Well, we could use some rain. Hope it makes it up our way...the water hazards on our course are drying up :)
I was looking at the long range radar early this morning and saw that little guy. I was watching it move in the loop and thought to myself, “No freaking way.”
I can’t believe it became something to watch in February.
That's because in saner times this kind of weather in February was properly ignored. Now there is a political obsession with every little thing that happens.
Back in early March of 1993, the Storm of the Century blew across South Florida with near hurricane force winds. Nobody even considered that it was tropical.
Thanks for a most unusual ping, lol, got a northern blowing here in Galveston right now. Cold, wet and windy here. I’ll have to check out WU later, bet they are freaking out over there being all good AWG folks. Should be fun.

For the North Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A broad area of low pressure extending from western Cuba northward into the Florida straits is interacting with a mid to upper-level trough. While this system is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms, there are no signs of an organized surface circulation and upper-level winds are expected to become less favorable for subtropical cyclone formation during the day today. This system has a low chance, near 0 percent, of becoming a subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Regardless of any additional development, this system will produce widespread rainfall and isolated gusty winds over portions of northern Cuba, the Florida Keys and south Florida today as it moves generally northeastward near 15 mph. Additional information on this system can be found in offshore waters forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header miaoffnt3 and WMO header fznt23 kNHC, and in products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. This will be the last special tropical weather outlook issued on this system.
Elsewhere, tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 48 hours.
