There is a lot of weather to watch. Notice the new wave over north Florida. It is expected to move out into the ocean. It won't do anything good for us.
Right now it looks to me like the only one that might come our way is the system that is over by Africa. It is too soon to guess what it might do, although it very well could stay to the south or disappear altogether.

Tooth marks in 13-million-year-old fossil reveals 'strongest bite force ever in the animal kingdom.When a young crocodile-like caiman chomped down on the hind leg of a ground sloth 13 million years ago near the Napo River in Peru, it left behind 46 tooth marks as evidence.
Now, researchers have been able to reconstruct the scene of the attack after analysing the unfortunate ground sloth's hind leg bone.
In fact, this ancient caiman had a bite force of seven tons, more than four times the strongest bite ever measured in the animal kingdom study author Rodolfo Salas-Gismondi said in an email...
Entire giant ground sloth skeletons have been found in Florida and one is on display at the Florida Museum of Natural History. See the skeleton below.

Of course they could be from other big animals such as mammoths or whales. Fossils of those have been found on Treasure Coast beaches too.
And I'm pretty sure some sloth teeth have been found on Treasure Coast beaches.

It looks like we'll have nothing higher than a two foot surf on the Treasure Coast this week.
There is a lot of weather to watch.
Happy hunting,
