Discussion

Irma continues to grind 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 and central Florida can expect some impact as well. Irma is likely to approach the Florida Straits by early in the weekend and then perhaps shift its westward track to more of a northward turn and this could bring it over the western side of the state on a path from south-to-north towards the interior Southeast US.
