Discussion
Hurricane Irma continues on a WNW track as a category 5 “major” hurricane. The hurricane is being steered by a subtropical ridge to the north and this motion should continue for the next 48 hours or so. After that, an upper-level trough will dig into the eastern US and allow Irma to turn northward. There is still some uncertainty about the timing of this turn northward, but major impact is very likely across southern Florida over the weekend as it makes its turn.
