An overview of what's going on in the tropics....
REMEMBER WHEN A TROPICAL STORM OR HURRICANE IS APPROACHING: Taping windows is *not* recommended & will not keep glass from breaking. Instead close curtains & blinds.
Franklin hit Haiti & especially the Dominican Republic with very heavy rain last Wed. The hurricane is turning northwest with some distant impacts on the U.S. east coast. Franklin will then accelerate to the north/northeast, & there will be some impacts for Bermuda by Tuesday. It now looks like the turn northeast over the NW Atlantic will be sharp enough to keep most impacts east of Canada.
The tropical cyclone will then turn rather sharply eastward moving off the coast of the Carolina’s by late week over the Western Atlantic.northward into the Southern Gulf then a turn more northeast toward Florida with the entire Panhandle & much of the west coast susceptible to a landfall. *At this point*... a landfall on the Eastern Panhandle or approximately Big Bend seems to be the area to focus on.over the northwest Caribbean through Sun. night... far Southern Gulf by Monday...
REMEMBER THAT THE FORECAST CONE ONLY INVOLVES THE EXPECTED PATH OF THE STORM. DON’T GET FIXATED ON THE CENTER & REALIZE IMPACTS FROM THE STORM WILL EXTEND FAR AWAY FROM THE CENTER.
