Beryl is not only strong but also large. It's 502 miles long and 376 miles wide. Compare that with Jamaica that's only 146 miles wide... it may be difficult to find good shelter. Hoping for the best for our Jamaican friends.

Great view of Humberto's center spin. NW Bahamas may see heavy rain w gusty winds over 39 mph. For now the worst of the storm is in the Eastern Semicircle. Dry air & shear on western side keeping it in check for the moment. Bahamas keep monitoring.

I hope this is a mistake-reading by hurricane hunters. Strongest winds detected as 8:30 pm now up to 167 mph. That would make it a category 5.

A friend is hanging up his mic after 4 decades in tv. He welcomed me with open arms when I arrived at wsvn & always pitched-in during hurricane coverage. Great sports anchor, wonderful sense of humor, & above all an incredible human being. I wish Steve Shapiro only the best.

So FL, you are NOT in the cone of concern. This means no direct strike is expected. We may still get some heavy rain at times, with moments of strong winds around 40 mph. Choppy seas, beach erosion and rip currents. An isolated tornado is possible.

I'm being asked. "Who named Humberto?" The World Meteorological Organization picks the names & should represent the languages in the Atlantic Basin. They're English, Spanish, French & Dutch. Names are repeated every 6 years unless its a destructive storm, then the name is retired

Hurricane Chris is now a category 2, and expected to remain this way until Wed. Night. This storm is a huge worry for the shipping lanes. It should stay away from all land masses.

11 pm Tuesday Beryl Cone: Near the water view. It is not forecast to weaken that much. Winds should remain at cat 4 strength as it pushes over Jamaica. Dangerous winds and surge. Please complete preps now. Rain and wind will start to pick up East to West in about 60 - 90 minutes.

Reports of a Solar storm arriving Friday. A storm is the term for impacts due to a Solar Flare or Coronal Mass Ejection. It's also known as a Geomagnetic storm. NO NEED to worry. it's a G1 storm, very weak. May see some auroras, a few minor blackouts & poor cell reception.

A good reason to always monitor a storm's forecast path. The 4 systems shown here all struck the U.S. as category 5, the most destructive level of intensity. Three days prior they had only tropical storm force winds. It's amazing how quickly they can grow in strength.

Laura radar imagery shows the rain in the hurricane. Oranges & reds are torrential downpours, but notice the blue. It's the northern extent of the eye wall, the most dangerous part of the storm. Wherever it makes landfall it will be disastrous.

11 pm Elsa Close Up Cone. Most of the Metro north of Downtown Miami thru Palm Beach is out of the cone. CAUTION, Mother Nature does not recognize man-made boundaries. Stay alert. Even if the center does not pass over the area, heavy rain & gusty winds are still possible.
