Seems likely #95L will be a strong hurricane in the SW Atlantic next week. Luckily for Florida, the 500-hPa pattern will be something we've seen a lot the last decade - ridge out west and trough out east. This acts as a "shield" keeping storms from approaching us from the East. pic.twitter.com/7MKXCcCz5O
