Discussion

Strong high pressure ridging continues to reside this morning over the Northeast US and southeastern part of Canada and it is having a big impact on eastern Florida. A persistent easterly wind is resulting in rip currents, high surf and tidal flooding and this pattern will continue for another few days. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Basin tropical season has quieted down in recent days, but there is likely to be more activity that develops this weekend over the Gulf of Mexico. Indeed, signs point to the formation of a system this weekend over the Gulf of Mexico and it could then ride northward from the Gulf region and much of the eastern US.
