Depression Two Likely No Trouble for Florida

  There was little change to the organization or strength of our season's second tropical depression in the central Atlantic overnight. Little change to the forecast for the system as well, which is great news for the island chain in the Caribbean and the United States. With winds of only 35 mph and a very small storm structure, TD Two is expected to dissipate by Thursday thanks to significant amounts of dry air and moderate to high levels of wind shear. Nonetheless, the remnant tropical wave from the depression will likely drift into the northern Caribbean or western Atlantic by week's end and we will certainly keep an eye on it over the coming days.
