Yes the tropics remain active but fortunately there is no threat to our area. The tropical depression in the southwest Gulf of MExico is doing a repeat of Humberto from several weeks ago. It has gone from a depression to a hurricane in less than 12 hours. Humberto set the record for the fastest developing hurricane and Lorenzo is right in there. The storm will make landfall Friday in the state of Veracruz in eastern Mexico.

Karen remains in the central Atlantic and is weakening for now. Over the next 3 days condtions are not favorable for strengthening. If Karen can survive the weeknd there is a slight chance the storm could threaten the east coast of the U.S. late next week. Key phrase...very slight chance.

Enjoy the fall air that is moving into the region. the weather this weekend promises to be spectacular!
