November named storms haven't been a stranger to the Atlantic Basin, however. Last year, Tropical Storm Otto flared in the open Atlantic Ocean the last day of November. A pair of tropical storms, Odette and Peter, spun up in early December 2003. U.S. hurricane landfalls in November, thankfully, are very rare. Since 1861, only four U.S. November hurricane landfalls have occurred, most recently 20 years ago when Category Two Hurricane Kate struck near Apalachicola, Fla. This was the only November U. S. hurricane landfall in the last 70 years.
Looks like TD 27 was a false alarm and this might be the real thing. I just checked the visible floater, and it certainly looks like rotation has formed. And the IR shows quite a bit of convection. If it develops and moves north, it could pass through the Yucatan Channel and into the GOM, then get recurved toward Florida.
