Well they ddin't put much of thier own thoughts into that one..like they usually do..Reads like they are as uncertain as NHC and are just riding the NHC forecast..Wet winds for the islands is no surprise..now if it continues to move west and avoid affecting PR that would be a surprise..and it very well may do that..wave or not..dead sea or not..it can certainly regen down the road..I think Abajan left a can of Red Bull outside last night..TD2 has wings...
