Worried About Tampa

In hurricane season I keep an eye out for Tampa, FL, where friends live. Tropical Storm Erika may be a problem for them, in part, because they've had tons of rain already and the ground is saturated. Right now, as far as rainfall is concerned, the new forecast is the worst yet for Tampa, with the circulation center passing far enough west of Tampa that the region of highest rainfall passes directly over the city. Let’s hope that interaction with Hispaniola disrupts the system enough to move the center of circulation. The National Hurricane Center thinks there’s a chance of that disruption happening.
