Much closer to Florida.... a complex combination of an upper low & the remnants of tropical wave - '92L' - remain near & over parts of the Bahamas, S. Florida & the Fl. Straits with only a very slow drift to the north & northeast. The system will meander into the SW Atlantic near the Bahamas & over Florida through the weekend before emerging just east of Florida by late Sunday into early next week. While any development would be slow, this feature is something to closely watch. Shear will be lessening + the atmosphere will be becoming more moist, so there is some potential for a "better" environment late in the weekend & thereafter, so we'll have to monitor the progress & movement of the system. The "Buresh Bottom Line" is: stay tuned!... Always be prepared! The most likely scenario is one where the system becomes a tropical depression or tropical storm (or possibly subtropical) along the Fl. coast or just east of Florida then slowly moves north/northeast. How far out into the Atlantic this system goes is still unclear, & it's possible that the storm could hug the U.S. east coast as far north as at least the Mid Atlantic. But either way.... conditions appear to become quite favorable for "Irma" to form over the W. Atlantic.
