Hurricane Rina

[TampaMillTWC88]

Rina never became a major hurricane as predicted, and it looks like the storm will continue weakening from this point on.  Should Florida be worried about anything, I guess it would be the extensive rainfall.  I still don't know if the core of the storm will go that far north, or not.

South Florida certainly does not need any more extensive rainfall.

Track of the unexpected? If this is a good representation of what is to come, Floridians no longer need to be worried about Rina. The Yucatan Peninsula will be getting a lot of rain, however.

The storm will now be headed south-southwest and weaken to a depression by Saturday afternoon. I don't think any of the models were predicting this originally. I am assuming it is the cold front that will be "blocking" Rina from making a the turn northward. I also read where the land interaction, the small size, and some wind shear will be killing Rina.

Rina a depression now, I knew she wouldn't be much fanfare.

That sucked, I was expecting some hard-core action from her.
