Getting pretty dry here.
The humidity has been kept low by N/NE breezes the past few days,, with hot sun.

I'm sure it's putting a lot of people on edge, especially considering today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Won't strengthen but will deliver serious rain. Both the Northern Caribbean and GOM are very lucky for the upper level ridge or we would have been putting up the shutters. We do need the rain where I am and I'm lovin' it.
