If you click the link, make sure you fill in the "trop fcst pts" and "lat/lon" check boxes...

although forecast to become a CAT I 'cane, the good news is that now she's definitely progged to remain well offshore; still may warrant a bear watch over the next couple of days, but it's almost time to sound the "all clear" for the East Coast...

peak of the season is just beginning, and it's possible we'll have jose in the next few days...the "fun" has really only just begun...
