ERIK & FLOSSIE Formed & coming - 2 Storms to Watch

[tada]

I need the pods 20 feet up on a jacaranda tree on the roadside so I can soak them in my yard. I need flossie to blow them down for me. I hope this so called hurricane don't disappoint me???

The latest forecast of Flossie shifts the projected path substantially more west than north from the previous time I checked putting Maui in the center and half the BI in the "cone".

"the updated track forecast was changed
little from the previous, which represented a significant westward
shift, and lies close to the EMXI and HCCA. Given average forecast
error, a Tropical Storm Watch may be required for portions of the
Hawaiian Islands later today. "

Winds projected to be < 40mph now, lots of wind shear weakening Flossie.

Well, I'm glad to hear it's weakening at least.

If it drops 1MPH more...it will be a tropical depression. Was kind of hoping for some wind. It's so hot and sticky here. Also my mango tree needs a good shaking for the fruit to drop. []
