Subtropical Storm Otto: Good News/Bad News For Syracuse
Good news: There is currently a weather mass off the coast of Florida called Subtropical Storm Otto. That has to be some kind of sign, right?
Bad news: Otto is being referred to as "an area of low pressure."
Good news: Subtropical systems are storm systems that form over warm oceans. So you could say this is a storm that's just beginning to heat up. Metaphor much?
Bad news: The storm is "not expected to threaten South Florida." Oh.
Good news: Otto could transition to a tropical storm by Thursday morning and then become a hurricane by Thursday night. As Saturday approaches, he's only getting stronger.
Bad news: Otto will continue to move to the north and then northeast. He's already heading back north before Saturday gets here.
By the way, it's no coincidence that Otto is heavily-orange, right? I know that has nothing to do with heat signatures and everything to do with random chance. Obviously.

Bad news: The storm is “not expected to threaten South Florida.” Oh.
That’s not bad news. USF isn’t in South Florida anyway.
Go, fight, and win.

The real question is
is it going to threaten Central Florida?

Exactly right.

Sadly no
It looks like it’s going to go harmlessly out to sea, regardless of how strong it gets.
(Note, I’m talking about the actual TS Otto, not in any symbolic way)
