Tropical Storm Approaches Keys
Heavy rain continues to fall in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Lesser Antilles.
It is moving off toward the west at 10 to 15 mph. That motion and speed should bring the system toward southern Florida Friday. Showers, gusty winds and increasing surf could arrive as early as Thursday night in advance of the system.
After the system passes by Florida Friday night it should move toward the central or eastern Gulf coast. On that projected path the system would pass near or to the east of the oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The Weather Channel
Ha! Tropical storm... please. Unless its a Category 28 hurricane I don't care. In less than a week from now I am going to be diving for lobsters even if looks like the 50 year storm out there.
Indications are that this is gonna be well into the Gulf, spreading oil all over Louisiana by the time we get to the keys, but I'm sure we will have to deal with some vis problems as a result. Last year was the first good vis trip in a while so it sucks to have to think about going back to trying to catch bugs in pea soup.
