Basically, hurricane hunter aircraft found a very poorly defined center of a subtropical storm. Subtropical storms are so-called because they aren't "warm" core storms like hurricanes. The storm has to become fully tropical before it can really intensify. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 miles per hour. Some strengthening is forecast. However, most of the thunderstorm activity is well to the east of the storm, and is moving over Florida.

There are two scenarios:
One: The center of the storm moves in to our North and East. We have partly to mostly cloudy skies on Saturday and some rainfall, mainly on the northshore.

Two: If the center of the storm tracks farther to the West, we could have some locally heavy rainfall... winds up to 40 miles per hour.

Here's the latest from the NHC:
