The #erika track shifting west is good and bad. It's a weaker storm but we will be on the stronger/wetter side now http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNghjMqUcAArCfv.png
Friday Water Report: S. Florida's average rainfall for past week = 1.71 inches; Lake Okeechobee level = 12.72 feet http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNgd5HnWcAEFQUS.png
After the briefing, media continue to talk with our staff and Tommy Strowd from @myLWDD about #Erika preparations. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNgYP9IWcAAQnoV.jpg
Regardless of east/west track of #Erika , tropical storm-force winds still likely Monday. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNgYO4BWsAAABBR.png
11AM update: Erika's track has shifted west a bit.
PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Regardless of tropical storm landfall west or east in the cone, we could still get tropical storm winds and rain.
ERIKA, SLIGHT SHIFT IN TRACK...
The 11am up date from the National Hurricane Center has the center of Erika just south of Hispaniola and moving WNW at 18mph with winds at 50mph.
Erika is expected move over Hispaniola throughout afternoon and evening. Interacting with the mountains of Hispaniola and wind shear will weaken the storm, and perhaps cause it to fall apart.
If Erika makes it north of Hispaniola tonight, the forecast track takes it northwest, near northern Cuba, and then north into South Florida by late Sunday/early Monday as a Tropical Storm.
If that happens, we could be seeing Tropical Storm conditions from late Sunday through at least part of Tuesday.
The new track has been shifted to the west a little bit, and shows Erika moving north closer to the west coast of Florida. That would put us on the much wetter side of the storm.
