Re: Ana and Storm Preps

I wouldn't write off Ana just yet. It has been rather persistent in a hostile environment so far. Ana has a fairly good envelope of moisture and has been fighting off the drier air around her. The system just off FL is still getting wrapped and is moving fairly rapidly to the NW-NNW - now just west of Punta Gorda on the radar presentation. If not a TD at 11 PM ET, then by 5 AM if it persists.
