Ernesto and John

Tropical Storm ERNESTO has been considerably weakened by its passage over Cuba, but is shortly expected to reemerge over the waters of the Florida Straits. Although it cannot be ruled out that the system will reach hurricane strength within 36 hours, the most likely scenario remains that Ernesto will pass over Florida as a tropical storm. Hurricane watches remain in force though.

Tropical Storm JOHN meanwhile has formed in the Eastern Pacific and will intensify to a category 2 hurricane by the time it reaches the waters off Baja California.

  1. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida so hopefully it won't be too bad. Hopefully just alot of rain I don't think I can take anymore hurricanes like the ones from a couple years ago.

    Hugs, Angela

  2. Yes, we've been following ERNESTO in the news here on the upper east coast, sometimes when they weaken that much before even hitting land here, they turn right back out to sea.  Hoping this continues to weaken.  As for TS JOHN, we're all watching that alot more closely, obviously.  This could change the whole outlay of the Peninsula.  xoxo CATHY
