The number one question we get, "is it going to Florida?" The answer is odds are it won't and it will likely be a non event. We repeat that over and over again, but also state the fact that it is unclear, and what's much worse than hype is total abandonment of attention when a good third of the forecast cone is in Florida at 3 days out. Since several meteorologists sending me notes to not overly downplay it, along with a system forecast to between 50-60MPH winds that could be higher if the system misses Hispaniola, especially since recon has given indications that the mlc and llc are becoming stacked.

The dry air and proximity to the large island will likely keep it from gaining too much, but it's still mostly observation.
