Ike and South Florida


With the 5PM NHC forecast point less than 100 miles off the coast of southeast Florida all attention is turning to Ike. Just looked at the 8PM early cycle models and as they did six hours ago many of them point right into the area. Intensity models of these models range from borderline cat 1/2 up to cat 4 (HWFI and AVN).

The official local forecast has "hurricane conditions possible" for Monday night and Tuesday day. Please take time on Friday not only to keep track of Ike but to go over your emergency supplies and plans and make sure you are ready for Ike. This appears to be our biggest tropical threat since Wilma.

More frequent updates here and through Twitter, stay tuned.
