Discussion
One tropical wave will shift westward today over the Florida Straits and the combination of this system and strong high pressure to the north will keep a tight pressure gradient in the area leading to a continuation of the strong easterly winds. As a result of these persistent winds, beach conditions will remain hazardous with rough surf and beach erosion. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Nate - now over the Caribbean Sea - is likely to move north over the next few days and could turn into a hurricane by the time it reaches the central part of the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Odds currently favor the track of TS Nate to bring it towards the central Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and/or Alabama by late in the weekend - somewhat west of earlier thoughts of the Florida Panhandle.
