It's basically a very precautionary watch for the Cape and Nantucket and Martha's Vinyard; they're expecting it to go significantly offshore.
Oh, my heavens, Buffy, it's heading straight for the yacht club.
maybe ted and john f'n kerry will stop by for the hurricane party.

Good thing.
We really haven't had enough rain this year.

Except for Ted Kennedy. He doesn't need help from a tropical storm to end up with his car in the drink.
The Clintons,Kerrys and Cronkites already have a G4 on standby.
Teddy will drive in his amphibious Oldsmobile....
"I hope the Big Dig walls hold up."
The whole thing is going to collapse like a house of cards. Many will be hurt and when the forensics are done there will only be one man to blame:
Bush!
ROFLOL!!!
Very creative.
Then after they sober up they will be demanding FEMA fix it!
So just for regional curiosity, how would y'all pronounce the storm's name?
Here in Texas, I've always heard it pronounced Burl (my great-grandmother was a Beryl), but a Yankee talk show host yesterday referred to it as "Barrel," more or less. (He's from Montana, so perhaps we can make allowances.)
Where's NautiNurse when you need her (or him)?!?!?
I am sure it is pronounced Barrel.
I had a friend in high school named Doyle. But he was "Dole" to us.
Yep. Burl :')
