Hurricane Henriette

TD 11-E

T-Storm Gil

Invest 91 - could be next in that area...

This is the one that scares me....I am diving in Bonaire in November and hope nothing hits the island or surrounding area.

 

[DandyDon]

Yep, looks like Invest 91 has dropped off, but yours is concerning...

Looks like TD 11-E has been named Henriette

Now TS Henriette could hit Baja and maybe San Diego/TJ...

Now Henriette could hit ... maybe San Diego/TJ...

Uh, I don't think so....
Water's cold there... it takes a very big, fast moving storm to get there with any punch left - last storm to make it all the way to San Diego as a hurricane was in 1858, and this one doesn't have a prayer.

Yeah, at one time a computer model suggested that it could, but now it's heading for El Paso. Expecting rain here from it by the weekend.

With any luck this storm's "silver lining" will be some rain in Alabama!
