good job with that quick posting dj

Hopefully it will recurve out to sea and not impact the US. There's also more activity following Florence. Hope those waves fizzle out too.

"...THEN STRENGTHENING INTO A MAJOR HURRICANE LIKE THE
GFDL AND FSU SUPERENSEMBLE MODELS ARE FORECASTING WILL BE POSSIBLE."...from the 5pm update. Some schools in my area are still without power from Ernesto. I hope nothing major comes out of Florence!!

The one right behind Florence is getting pretty orgainzed. It probably would become a depression soon, but...its getting too close. With Florence strengthening, she'll likely shear her little brother.

Alot of the models do have Florence curving out...
