Here is the current HNC map.  Nothing much has changed.  It still looks like the closest storm will remain well out to sea.

No big increase in the surf is expected, but some increase is expected Tuesday.

Here is the wind map for Tuesday from Ventusky.com.

Winds Tuesday According to the Model.

The NHC map, surf predictions and this model on Ventusky.com all seem to fit together well.  On Monday and Tuesday the system is expected to be at its closest to Florida, and you can see a period when the winds shift to become more northerly.

As you can see there are four lows out in the Atlantic now, but for now I'm only interested in the one, which, at this time is given an 80% chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours.

In summary, I'm not expecting much erosion from this one unless things change before next week, which is possible, but not highly likely.

Ancient Romans began construction on a military camp in what is now northwestern Spain, along the Lima River in Galicia, in about 75 AD, Spanish researchers wrote in a 2018 study.  They abandoned the camp about a century later.

The remaining ruins became submerged after the construction of a dam in 1949 created the As Conchas reservoir, The Guardian reported...

The ancient camp reappeared on the riverbank — its entire ruined complex on display, drone footage posted on Aug. 26 by Faro de Vigo showed...

Wouldn't you love to metal detect in the recently exposed land below that bridge.  I bet you could find a lot of interesting things there without a metal detector.  I'd love to just walk around under that bridge.

Watch for falling water levels around lakes rivers or and other inland waters.  Lakes in the wests are really low.  People are walking out and finding things on the previously submerged land.

Much of the country and world is experiencing drought, which provides some great opportunities to searching.  Not only does drought lower water levels, it also diminishes vegetation in overgrown areas making it possible to detect some areas that are otherwise difficult.

Yesteday I mentioned Robert Marx's shipwrecks book and listed some of the 16th century shipwrecks listed around Fort Pierce.  Warren D. has a copy of another Marx. book.  This one is Shipwrecks in Florida Waters.
