Potential Tropical Cyclone #16 (WINK News) A tropical disturbance is trying to get better organized in the SW Gulf. In fact, satellite estimates already have wind near tropical storm-force. If it can continue to get its act together, we could have Tropical (or Subtropical) Storm Nestor as early as Thursday. As of 11 p.m., National Hurricane Center in Miami reports Potential Tropical Cyclone 16 is expected to develop into a tropical or subtropical storm sometime Thursday night or Friday. The system is in the western Gulf moving northeast at 12 mph with max winds at 40 mph. Possible Tropical Cyclone #16 — European Model (WINK News) The system will be battling wind shear down the road, but if it can overcome it and feed off tropical moisture and warmer than normal Gulf waters, it has the opportunity to strengthen. Models have shifted slightly east, but still cluster towards northern Florida from the Panhandle to the Big Bend. Even though that would keep the center of circulation away from Southwest Florida, we still would see an influence. TROPICAL UPDATE! 🌀 As of 11 AM we have Potential Tropical Cyclone #16.
