(NOAA)The tropical system known as “99L” is hanging out in the Caribbean, slowly drifting west and looking fairly pitiful. A hurricane watch is not in effectFlorida residents may be “watching” this system very closely, but there’s no hurricane watch in effect. A hurricane watch is a very specific thing, and Floridians take it seriously. The National Hurricane Center is giving it just a 20 percent chance of developing into something more significant within the next 48 hours. If we extend that forecast to a week, the National Weather Service is predicting as much as six inches.
