There will be a broad area of low pressure or thunderstorms maybe next week that will be from what is currently Invest 99 E on the Pacific side of Panama. This system will head northwest parallel to Panama, then gradually turn north and then northeast sometime next week and cross over southern Mexico and emerge on the Carribean side of Mexico. A strengthening jet stream will build west of this remnant low and help form this broad low pressure area of strong but disorganized thunderstorms. These thunderstorms will then head mainly toward the Panhandle and some brief little bands might graze Punta Gorda but most of these thunderstorms I THINK will stay northwest of Punta Gorda and head to northeast Florida and Georgia, then out to sea. Otherwise, nothing tropical is going to form out of this system. You MAY get SOME needed rain for those severe drought areas, though.
Damn! I feel sorry if it hits the Panhandle after they have already been hard hit by Idalia, they got a bit swamped. I am supposed to get the last of the work done on my house next week (had a bit of a delay) but we could definitely use some more rain here.
The Panhandle doesn't need the rain and neither does Central or the east coast. Nonetheless, your area certainly can use it. If it is not raining between any rain storms, you can make use of what time you can use to get some work done, hopefully.
Not much left to do, one window which should be ready by Monday, a corner of the lanai roof even though it isn't leaking it is torn and about 5 panels of siding under the windows of the lanai and it is done. Sadly there are still blue tarp covered roofs as well as missing car ports and lanais here. Still we didn't get the damage some other areas did despite the eyewall going over us. Pays to be in an area that doesn't suffer much from storm surge. It tends to go upriver and hit Arcadia rather than here. A friend of mine isn't having her house rebuilt on Pine Island. She watched 5 feet of water slam into her house from the neighbor's which was higher off the ground. Her house wasn't only flooded but knocked off its foundation and quite badly torn up. I'm glad dad bought a house that wasn't too close to the coast and has some protection by the barrier islands and a peninsula. My insurance is also still lower than what I was paying back in Michigan in 2014 despite Ian.
True. What I find strange is that for me nearly everything that other people complain cost them more than in their home states has cost me less. My house and car insurances are still less than they were up there in 2014, electricity costs much less even in the height of Florida's summer, I no longer have a natural gas bill, taxes are lower, my lot rent is far less than my mortgage payment was (house is paid for). I don't have to drive as much so my gas tank gets filled every 5-7 weeks instead of once or twice a week. For the first time in decades I am debt free and can pay off my credit cards every month. I wish I had moved 2 years earlier when my dad tried to get me to take over the house then. Oh well hindsight is always 20/20.
I just today talked to the cardiologist's office I have been given by the surgeon I plan on using. His office is backed up until December but I am on his cancelation list so may get in sooner. If I can have it done by TAVR which is done through a catheter instead of open heart surgery I will be going home either later that day or the next morning. Both my parents had the same problem and lived long beyond the surgeries, my mom is still going strong at 88 next month. She had hers a bit over 30 years ago. Not happy about it but will deal with it like everything else.
Good to hear about that African wave. Now f we can just avoid trouble for the rest of the season from the Gulf and Caribbean.

One of the benefits of living in Florida is, there ARE a few things that can cost LESS than they do at your home state, LOL!!
