Emily is Back...

Satellite imagery and Hurricane Hunters data confirm that Emily has re-strengthened back into a Tropical Depression albeit a weak and disorganized one. Only gradual strengthening is expected. When and if Emily strengthens to tropical storm strength (<39 mph), the storm will be well away from the Bahamas and the United States coastline, not a threat to land whatsoever. The main impact will be heavy rainfall over the northwestern Bahamas over the next 24 hours. Because of Emily, we in SW FL will have more clouds than sun and scattered showers and storms throughout Sunday.
