Ok, the NHC and NAFC Norfolk are all wayyyyy behind this system. Everything that I use is pointing that this is a tropical storm, I mean, hell, sat. images alone show a darn good area of thunderstorms mushroomed over the past couple of hours. This will likely be an East Coast concern, if at all, later next week. Ride this thing up here to Jacksonville, get me outta here for a few days. A best case, if you can say that, is landfall in the Ctrl GOMEX and bring beyond desperately needed rain. We'll see, I still smell an Opal type system later this month or next month in the GOMEX.Like I said, we'll see, it'd at least be a change from this summer. I'm expecting Humberto, as are many models, to rapidly intensify as it moves off to the WNW over the next couple of days. The powerful front next week is likely to kick the storm away from the U.S., but that remains to be seen. The Bermuda High is blocking it from Bermuda, so they are almost completely out of the woods. Also, a large area of thunderstorms is preparing to move offshore into the Atlantic from Senegal, it's a potent area of convection and is to be monitored.
