Hurricane Irma

Currently at category three Hurricane Irma is moving towards the Caribbean sea. The tracks currently are showing it skirting the coast of South America before it starts moving northwest or even more north. I believe this track will get close to the Trinidad/Tobago islands but with it being so far out to sea things can change before it makes it way all the way over here.

If this develops into something really bad then there are two predictions about it. One is it can hit the south eastern states around Florida and the other the north east states around New York.

Yeah they are also saying that it can cross into the Caribbean sea and hit the southern states like Texas again while it is still recovering from Harvey.

Are they still predicting this to grow to a cat five? That would be a monster of a storm. Let's hope it misses land altogether, including the Caribbean Islands.

Right now it is a strong category 2 storm but it still has a long way to go. They are looking at it being a category 4 storm by the time it gets close to the leeward islands. We will have to wait and see how the weather pays a role in its development and steering.

Yeah, this storm has a lot of growing to do. It could grow to be a real monster with as warm as the oven is now.

Wit hit not even getting close to here until mid part of next week we have plenty of time to figure out what it will do. I think it is growing bigger from the last report so that will weaken it some but with the nice warm waters it will soon regain strength and be bigger yet.

Yes, as it get's closer to the Caribbean it'll hit warmer and warmer water and that'll help it gain strength. If it winds itself back up it can become very strong at this time of year.
