Two days ago Ernesto seemed heading pretty much our way.   As of Sunday morning, Ernesto decided to stay on a more southern route.  A tropical storm warning is now in effect for Cayman (just raised a few moments ago) and for Jamaica but will likely be lifted later today or early tomorrow.  My guess is that this was done in an abundance of caution, since by looking at the path I dont see how it could affect us in any significany way.

It will likely effect Nicaragua and the Yucatan peninsula who probably get a direct hit.  Although with a TS or weak category 1, should not be anything devastating.

This is unfortunately only the start, since the “statistical peak” or the hurricane season is +-September 10, so we will likely see quite a few new storms being formed in the Atlantic in the next 8-weeks or so.
