Thank you both so much. Sometimes I think everyone who says to us "are you crazy to go to Florida this time of year" really just wish bad weather on us. Yesterday, a co-worker said to me "you could not pay me enough to go to Florida this time of year".
Tropical Weather Outlook
Nws Tpc/national Hurricane Center Miami Fl
530 Pm Edt Fri Sep 23 2005
For The North Atlantic...caribbean Sea And The Gulf Of Mexico...
The National Hurricane Center Is Issuing Advisories On Hurricane
Rita...located About 155 Miles East-southeast Of Galveston Texas And
On Recently Downgraded Tropical Depression Philippe...located About
170 Miles South Of Bermuda.
A Broad Area Of Low Pressure Centered About 360 Miles South-southeast Of Bermuda Is Producing Only Limited Thunderstorm Activity Near Its Center...although A Large Band Of Showers Extends From Just East Of The Low Southward For Several Hundred Miles To Near The Northern Leeward Islands. This Large Circulation Is About To Absorb Tropical Depression Philippe And Is Expected To Move Very Little. This System Still Has Some Potential To Become Either A Tropical Or A Subtropical Cyclone During The Next Day Or Two.
An Area Of Disturbed Weather Associated With A Tropical Wave Is Centered A Few Hundred Miles Southwest Of The Cape Verde Islands. This System Has Some Potential For Gradual Development During The Next Couple Of Days As It Moves Westward Over The Tropical Atlantic.
