Discussion

An active tropical scene in the Atlantic Basin is still playing a role in the weather across east-central Florida with Hurricane Larry situated well to our east over the central Atlantic, but contributing to a local threat of rip currents right through the week. Later this week, a tropical disturbance now over the Gulf of Mexico, is likely to take a turn to the northeast and it could result in some heavy rainfall around here as it potentially cuts across the northern half of the state.
