An interesting swirl -- mid level cyclone -- is over the Eastern Carolinas & will move east/southeast into the Western Atlantic off the coast of the Carolinas & well northeast of Jacksonville (see satellite photo below). This system should crank even a little more the next couple days as it moves slowly into the Gulf Stream. This system won't become tropical & it's not likely -- though not completely out of the question -- the low will become subtropical. But the storm will look pretty impressive the next few days over the West Atlantic. Were it a couple of months later, this would be a storm to watch for possible tropical development. In this instance, the low will continue to move out to sea. There will be some effect on the First Coast including a more northerly wind Tue. becoming northeast by Wed. into Thu....a little cooler temps. -- especially near the coast...building seas & surf & a higher rip current risk. Otherwise, impacts will be minor with mild temps. & little rain this week though an isolated coastal shower will be possible at midweek with the onshore wind.
