nws national hurricane center miami fl
700 am est mon feb 6 2012

for the north atlantic...caribbean sea and the gulf of mexico...

A broad area of low pressure extending from western cuba northward
into the florida straits is interacting with a mid to upper-level
trough. While this system is producing a large area of showers and
thunderstorms...there are no signs of an organized surface
circulation and upper-level winds are expected to become less
favorable for subtropical cyclone formation during the day today.
This system has a low chance...near 0 percent...of becoming a
subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Regardless of any
additional development...this system will produce widespread
rainfall and isolated gusty winds over portions of northern
cuba...the florida keys and south florida today as it moves
generally northeastward near 15 mph. Additional information on this
system can be found in offshore waters forecasts issued by the
national weather service...under awips header miaoffnt3 and wmo
header fznt23 knhc...and in products issued by your local national
weather service forecast office. This will be the last special
tropical weather outlook issued on this system.

Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the
next 48 hours.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- A tropical disturbance passing through the Florida Straits is not likely to develop into a tropical or subtropical system. A broad area of low pressure is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms from Cuba to the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.
This system will likely produce widespread rainfall and isolated gusty winds to Cuba, the Florida Keys and South Florida. The heaviest rain will fall on the east coast from Fort Lauderdale to Key Largo.
Only one tropical storm has ever been recorded in the Atlantic Basin during the month of February. The Tropical Storm developed quickly on February 2nd, 1952 in the western Caribbean and made landfall near Cape Sable, Florida. The tropical storm produced winds up to 68 mph in Miami.

Yonnie & Joe will be embarking on Maasdam from Ft. Lauderdale today. Hate they're having to board the ship in nasty weather.
