Not Good!

It looks like upper level windshear & steering weather systems will diminish its strength. It will eventually turn north. But it looks like windshear will make certain it’s not strong. Again hopefully we get some much-needed rain but I’m not betting on that at this point. Drphilsxm

Thankfully it looks like it will have completely run out of gas by the time it passes. As everyone says, we could use the rain. My dog disagrees, he doesn't care for the rain. _______________________ Working hard to be the best yacht bum I can be.

Expected to just meander around for the next several days, and then (hopefully) head straight north. Carol Hill

The storm is worst on the southeast side of the circulation and not causing bad weather for now. So go enjoy the day but always keep an eye to the sky!
