[Wednesdays]

1. Is it me,

or is that Puerto Rico right in the forecast path?

[YOHABLO]

2. I think you are right. It looks as if it might skirt the island however.

4. NHC thinks so too

At this moment.

As of 5 am, it was predicting a DR hit as a minimal hurricane.

3. Yes, although a bit early for an accurate track.

PR then Dominican Republic then Haiti, then maybe Cuba and Florida. Should be better defined Tuesday night.

I hope this thing misses them and with no damage. They've suffered enough and "Mr. Bounty" is still in office.....
