Storms strengthening south and east of Florida

Storms off Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic are expected to strengthen in the next 48 hours, with at least one projected to become a hurricane, but neither is pointed toward Florida at the moment.

TS Marco in Mexico

Whew....read my text message alert incorrectly this afternoon. Missed the "no" in "Marco forms off Mexico Coast, no threat to Florida". After a few minutes of concern while driving home in an unrelated pouring rain storm this afternoon, I checked a couple of websites and realized my error.

Less than 2 months to go in the season and we're headed into the time when the Gulf of Mexico is most active.

BTW, Congratulations Rays! 3 games to 1 winners over the White Sox in ALDS.
