The Atlantic basin is active on this Friday morning. NHC is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Edouard, located over the central Atlantic Ocean more than 1300 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. Elsewhere, a broad area of low pressure has moved westward and is now located over South Florida centered just south of Lake Okeechobee. Shower activity is currently poorly organized, and strong upper-level winds as well as interaction with land will likely inhibit development of this system today. Once the low moves over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, conditions could become a little more conducive for tropical cyclone formation over the weekend while the system moves westward at around 10 mph. Regardless of development, this low will continue to bring locally heavy rains to portions of South Florida and the Florida Keys today and Saturday. A tropical wave is located south of the Cape Verde Islands, and the associated shower activity is showing some signs of organization. This system, however, is forecast to move westward or west- northwestward at around 10 mph toward an area unfavorable for development.
