Tropical Storm Emily - It's "Official"

Well, it's about time. Emily finally decided to show up. After several peeks and pokes at some surface-based circulation over the Atlantic and Carribean waters, this tropical wave has now been upgraded.

Hopefully, those along the windward and leeward islands treated this as a tropical storm threat despite no "official" watches or warnings. Because now, Emily is bearing down on areas near Dominica and moving west-northwest at a pretty healthy clip.

Get out your tracking tools! This system looks to affect several land areas. [Image of 5-day forecast of predicted track, and coastal areas under a warning or a watch]


















This appears to be an accurate depiction of what could happen over the next several days. Hopefully, Emily won't reach hurricane status before slamming into the Dominican Republic and Haiti. However, look out Miami and Fort Lauderdale FL.
