DPL 5 pm Sunday
Quick Tropical Thoughts:
1. PTC #18 will become Rafael. It will likely become a hurricane in the Northern Caribbean.
2. Once it crosses Cuba it will weaken.
3. The track is WELL to the West of Florida. If this track verifies, very little impacts for our area other than rain and maybe a bit of minor coastal flooding. It goes without saying (but will say it anyway), if the track shifts more East, impacts would be higher. That, however, is currently NOT the forecast.
4. I avoid the "what if" game. There are ALWAYS other possibilities. Why add to the confusion?! I'll tell you what I think will happen, and if it changes, I'll adjust. That has served me well for 30 years. I ain't changing now.
5. At this point, the NHC track won't bring much impact to the panhandle (@florida state and Florida A&M University) However, the Keys could see some pretty squally weather midweek as Rafael crosses Cuba as a hurricane.
6. Rule #7. Our team will update you 24/7 as always.
