Hurricane Gaston Invest 99L Update

We can see from the satellite loop that convection continues to develop over Puerto Rico and the Domincan Republic. Weak Low pressure is located just offshore the northern coast of the D.R. Gale force winds are being produced well north and east of the center. There is a lack of a well defined core circulation here so we will continue to monitor the progress today. An air force plane is nearby and ready to investigate later this morning or this afternoon.

There have been no big changes in the weather model tracks with regard to this system. The European seems to be the one that makes the most sense to me at this point as it takes a tropical storm over South Florida and then up the west coast of Florida possibly as a minimal hurricane. Much of the hurricane model guidance seems to be clustered around this idea this morning.

Meanwhile we have Hurricane Gaston this morning with top winds of 75 mph moving northwestward into the open waters of the Atlantic. If you look north and west of the hurricane there is an upper low spinning away and this is likely to create hostile conditions going forward for Hurricane Gaston over the next 2 days or so.
