Hurricane Irma - Next Week - Thoughts?

We are 5 days before they know if it is going to hit anywhere in the Caribbean much less Cancun or the US. There are several models that have it turning north and going up the coast. Its just way to early

 

This is projected path of Irma but still too early to tell and subject to change.

Yeah, its so wide open at this point that I'm sweating being able to get out on the 10th for a business trip to Milwaukee. If it's going to hit here right after I leave, I can't go away. So best case scenario is that it decides to die where it is and NOW!

So what happens at Temptation when there is hurricane-type weather that is bad but not considered bad enough to evacuate?

 

The one behind Irma needs to be paid attention to.......

 

You do not have to worry about Hurricane Irma impacting Cancun during your time frame. The steering currents will pull the system north as it passes the Lesser Antilles directing it towards the Eastern US, at which point hopefully, it will be directed offshore. In the highly unlikely event that the steering currents change and it is directed towards the Yucatan Peninsula, the forward speed of the storm puts the system at least 8 days out from Cancun. Enjoy your trip!

 

I agree the storm following Irma is the one we need to worry about it is starting much further south and has a greater opportunity to go into the gulf. I am worried a little about Irma and the east coast of the US, nothing can be done but prepare so that's what we will do.
