Storms Today & "Fay"?

Report This Post

our highest coverage of thunderstorms is expected today at around 70%. we will see these getting started in the late morning / lunchtime hours and then carrying on through the ret of the day.

friday is about a 50% coverage and then the weekend we will see a lower coverage of thunderstorms both days - 20% - 40% coverage.

this tropical low east of puerto rico is on track to skirt just east of our coastlines early next week, and i would expect this to be "fay" when it does.

models are all over the place with calculations of winds from as low as 30mph to as high as low end cat 3 winds......needless to say....it is time to WATCH THIS and monitor your tropical section of this website for the latest information.

if the track stays close to what i am looking at right now, this storm stays offshore and brings us big waves, beach erosion, and most thunderstorms and strong wind stay offshore.

stay tuned....
