Hurricane Elsa

Tropical Storm Elsa has developed in the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, about 2500 miles east of the U.S. mainland. Interests in Florida should monitor updates to the forecast for this system, but it is too soon to determine what, if any, impacts could occur there next week given the uncertainty in the long-range forecast.Elsa is moving at a rapid clip, which may limit strengthening in the short term. Also, the potential interaction of the storm with the mountainous land masses of the Greater Antilles later in the forecast period could disrupt the circulation somewhat.

I'm from the upper middle west like you.....and though we often have to sweat out the occasional hurricane, sunny Florida is God's country.....and I don't miss the northern Illinois weather at all.

Elsa choked on a big gulp of dry air. Never recovered.

Cedar Key is pretty unspoiled. Stone crabs are divine!

Elsa appears to be the gift that keeps on giving...all the way to New England.

Many thanks for all your hard work producing the updates. They were extremely helpful. Reporting no damage at all at our home in mid Pinellas. Thanks a million.

[NautiNurse]

We narrowly missed an early storm season mess. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Much appreciated.

50 Million Americans Under Flash Flood Watch As Elsa Moves Up East Coast

[Rurudyne]

The Tiny Toons generation think Bjorn Free.

[NautiNurse]

That’s a lot of population under flood watch. Meanwhile, global warming has dried and fried the West.

Thanks for all the updates, FRiend! This and all of your hurricane threads are awesome, and SO helpful for all of us.

Elsa passed through our area a couple hours ago, but it was a NothingBurther, as we are in north central CT. Just got a lot of fairly heavy rain, and now the sun is out. Elsa is battering coastal New Hampshire, Maine and the Canadian Maritimes as I type this. Good riddance to Elsa!!

[nutmeg]

You’re amazing. We’ll leave it at that...

Amen. Thank you again, NautiNurse!! :-)

Very happy to finally sign off from Elsa coverage.

I can imagine. Take a well-deserved bow and BREAK from Hurricane Season, FRiend! :-)
