Anyway before the power goes, good luck to my friends in the Leewards, be safe.

Good post.
I think its got a shot at becoming a hurricane before Hispaniola, though its a close call for sure. After Hispaniola, its abit too hard to call now because it obviouisly depends on the exact track, but what I will say is conditions look good, esp the further north this can get in the Bahamas towards that weak upper ridge that forms.
As for Florida, tough call, given its finally formed I think the westward adjustments will be slim and the models may well trend back east a little now. Could well see the system gain latitude till Hispaniola then bend back to the WNW due to being weaker/disconnected from the MLC and also the development of that weak upper ridge.

Heading up to the north Georgia mountains on Thursday night. Looks like I either need to secure the house and bring in the patio furniture before I leave or push back the trip a couple days.
If you're looking for suggestions, then you need to identify your location on your profile.

What are the odds of this thing staying kinda week and scooting over into the gulf? Seems to have been shifting west for a while.

Where's the dry air coming from?

Emily or not?
What's happen for the sea? Because there are people on the sea, for a course of "yoles"( famous boat from martinique). They are in "protected aera" near coast, for the night...
For the moment, people think it will be just rain, that's right? The alert change just one hour and half ago.
Thanks you

Will be interesting to see how high NHC go before the first landfall, I'm thinking they may go upto 60kts but stay shy of the the hurricane status forecast for now, at least this side of Hispaniola...
if the conditions are favorable because of the poweroutages. Looks like a long and busy night for us
