    Disturbance 1: 20% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 8:00 am EDT Fri Aug 25 2017 ...
    A trough of low pressure extending from the eastern Gulf of Mexico
    over central Florida continues to produce a large area of
    disorganized cloudiness and thunderstorms. Although strong
    upper-level winds could limit tropical cyclone formation, some
    subtropical development is possible over the weekend or early next
    week while the system moves northeastward over the western Atlantic
    before it merges with a front.

    Regardless of development, very heavy rain and flooding is possible over portions of southern and
    central Florida during the next few days. Please refer to products
    from your local National Weather Service office for more information
    on this system.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

    I like two days of fun surf for the NE, with the buoys up north getting the best of it.

    1. A broad area of low pressure located near the west-central coast of
    the Florida peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized
    cloudiness and thunderstorms over southern and central Florida and
    the adjacent waters. This system is forecast to move northeastward
    and emerge over the western Atlantic over the weekend where some
    development is expected through early next week before it merges
    with a front. Regardless of development, very heavy rain and
    flooding is possible over portions of southern and central Florida,
    and the northwestern Bahamas during the next few days. In addition,
    this system is expected to cause increasing northeast winds and
    rough surf along the coast of Georgia and the Carolinas through
    early next week. Please refer to products from your local weather
    office for more information on this system.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

    Based on RGB now the low is traversing the state moving ENE away from Charlotte Harbor area toward approximately Vero on the east coast. "- flhurricane.com

    Disturbance 1: 40% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 2:00 pm EDT Sat Aug 26 2017 ...
    An elongated area of low pressure stretching across north-central
    Florida continues to produce a large area of disorganized
    cloudiness and thunderstorms extending from the southwest coast of
    Florida northeastward into the western Atlantic. Although
    upper-level winds are not particularly conducive, this system has
    the potential to become a tropical or subtropical depression
    early next week after it moves off the northeast coast of Florida
    on Sunday. The low is forecast to move close to the southeastern
    coast of the United States and merge with a cold front by mid-week.
    Regardless of tropical cyclone development, the low is expected to
    cause increasing winds and rough surf along the coasts of Georgia
    and the Carolinas through early next week. Heavy rain is also
    expected to continue over portions of southern and central Florida
    during the next day or two. Please refer to products from your local
    National Weather Service forecast office for more information on
    this system.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

    "
    GFS still tries to make something of this before landfall or near miss near Wilmington, NC on Tuesday, although there is no rain over central Florida, most of it is in South Florida or offshore of Naples currently.

    Canadian and NAM is the only one forecasting significant strengthening "--flhurricane.com

    Here we go

    Disturbance 1: 70% Chance of Cyclone Formation in 48 Hours
    As of 2:00 pm EDT Sun Aug 27 2017 ...

    An elongated area of low pressure, previously located over northeast
    Florida, has emerged over the western Atlantic and is now located
    about 60 miles east of the coast of Georgia.

    Showers and thunderstorms associated with this system have increased in
    coverage and are gradually becoming better organized.

    The low is likely to become a tropical depression or storm during the next
    day or so before it merges with a cold front.

    Regardless of development, the low is expected to cause increasing winds and rough
    surf along the coasts of Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia
    through mid-week.

    A tropical storm watch may be required for a
    portion of the coast of North and South Carolina this afternoon.
    Heavy rain is also expected to continue over portions of the Florida
    peninsula during the next 24 hours. Please refer to products from
    your local National Weather Service forecast office for more
    information on this system.

    * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
    * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

    Flhurricane.com:

    "92L may or may not soon merge with a front, but will contribute to inclement weather along the east coast, regardless. Near-term, 92L looks more tropical than sub-tropical, despite its close proximity to the front.

    It is possible that a coming merger or just ongoing symbiotic interaction could serve to result in a developing strong cyclone that rides northeast - mostly just offshore, though possibly impacting the Carolinas hard or a brief period of time while on a likely track up into or passing Nova Scotia. The combined or interacting system may become a meteorological bomb off the northeast at some point, but hopefully while well enough away from New England.

    Recon is on the way now"

    How come my forcaste for Wednesday goes from O Head to knee high in 2 hours? Is Irma moving that fast? Is she the Usain Bolt of tropical storms? What gives?
    Also, the map shows it almost flat on Thursday but the description says Waist to stomach high. What gives?
    Explanation prease.

    agreed, we got the same problem here. none of the forecasting sites know when this storm is rideable. We were expecting windy, but surfable conditions over the wknd - not the case unless you want to get bombed on side shore disorganized heavy swell drift seas. it looks like a hurricane went past us looking out at the water, so everyone is waiting for it to get clean before it's knee high for a week. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning - maybe never

    Surfline has historically been better at forecasting the major swell events / storms. I would trust their forecast more.
