Its been a boring 'cane season this year since so many storms took a beeline for the UK or disintegrated over the Yucatan Peninsula. Even Emily took a right turn as it was getting interesting.
The Gulf, Caribbean, and Atlantic are cooler this year. Most of the warm water remains on both sides of Florida. Irene hit Puerto Rico and intensified into the first hurricane. Its projected track is across the warmest waters that only exist off both sides of Florida. That makes it a storm worth watching since its track on either side of FL can make is a serious problem starting Friday. Especially if it tracks west of FL.
The Cellar might appreciate that rain next week to wash mud off of UT's car.
