Potential Tropical Cyclone ONE has been unable to organize into a named system this morning as it continues bearing down on South Florida with flooding rain. The disturbance has struggled to organize ever since emerging from Mexico as the remnants of Hurricane Agatha due to upper level wind shear and an abundance of dry air in the Gulf. While winds sufficient to to be named a tropical storm has been found associated with the system, it has lacked a well defined center of circulation.
The rainmaker will focus all its attention to the south today where big totals have already been recorded. Other than some scattered light showers locally and occasionally breezy winds, impacts remain minimal across Tampa Bay. The disturbance is expected to exit the state later today taking the steady rain with it.
As of 8am Saturday morning, the Tropical Storm Warning has been discontinued for the west coast of Florida north of Bonita Beach.
