September 13, 8 AM: The forecast track of what is expected to become Humberto this weekend has brought a Tropical Storm Watch for parts of E. Central Florida and a Tropical Storm Warning for the central and norther Bahamas.
Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says, at the very least we can expect rough seas and surf at our area beaches and a high rip current risk with gusty breezes. If the disturbance stays a little east, that would be about all the impacts with only some rain until the system passes by our area.
However, if it takes a more southern route into Florida then it would be much wetter for our local area.
It is not likely that this disturbance will be able to intensify strongly before reaching Florida.

September 12, 5 AM: A tropical wave in the southeast Bahamas is quite disorganized now but threatens to bring soaking rain to NE Florida late this weekend, and maybe more.
Action News Jax Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says the disturbance is not likely to become a major storm before hitting Florida.
“There’s quite a wide array of possibilities here, anywhere from the eastern Gulf to the east coast of Florida”, Buresh said.
The upshot for Jacksonville and NE Florida more than likely is significant rainfall.
“The potential for a half foot or more of rain from Saturday to Monday. It won’t be raining all the time”, Buresh said.
TALKING THE TROPICS: Mike Buresh tracks tropical disturbance near the Bahamas
Most of Dorian’s rains were along and east of I-95 so inland areas can take that kind of rain. However, other areas could see flooding through the late weekend and early in the week.
If this system can organize into a named storm it would be Humberto, but it’s still early and a lot will change in the forecast so keep listening to 104.5 FM for updates through the end of the week and throughout the weekend.
The future movement of Tropical Disturbance Invest 95L has become more uncertain as we approach the weekend. Building surf will result in a high risk of rip currents beginning Friday, with heavy rainfall possible this weekend into early next week #flwx #gawx #jaxwx @JaxReady pic.twitter.com/qpp8GMNoCX
