East Coast Tropical Trouble?
Forecasters are watching an area of low pressure off the South East coast very carefully. The GFDL shows this area of low pressure developing into a tropical storm, which would become Gabrielle. The GFDL is a an advanced 3-dimensional weather forecast model developed specifically for predicting hurricane movement. GFDL stands for Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Model. High pressure is starting to build into the Northeast which would keep the disturbance to the south and east over very warm water. We will continue to keep on eye on this into early next week. GFS model is showing similar development. Stay tuned for updates.
