Discussion
Irma continues to churn westward over the Atlantic as a major hurricane and it is looking increasingly likely that it will impact southern Florida in a significant way by later in the weekend. Irma is likely to approach the Florida Straits by early in the weekend and then perhaps shift to a northward path which could bring it over the state of Florida on a path towards the interior Southeast US. As of the last report, Irma’s max sustained winds are near 175 mph which gives it a dangerous category 5 “major” hurricane status.
