Tropical Storm Erika Update

There is not much that can be said about Erika at this moment. She is on life-support and the thinking is that she may not recover, but she has shown us that she is a fighter. We have seen everything occur with this storm, so nothing would surprise me anymore. The Hurricane Hunters have been flying around her for a few hours now and they have not found winds within Erika to support her tropical storm status. She most likely will be downgraded to a tropical depression at 5 pm. Could things change in the future for Erika regarding her structure, intensity, and atmosphere surrounding her? Yes, but that is not the thinking. It will be interesting to see what Erika does when she leaves Puerto Rico and Hispañola behind and approach the Bahamas. For now, expect to get rain and gusty winds around Tuesday in South Florida due to the remnants of Erika. I won't let my guard down until two things happen: (1) she dies (2) she passes my latitude/longitude. Since neither of those two things have occurred, I'll keep my eye on her. Another update tomorrow afternoon. Have a great night.
