Rina Downgraded to a Depression

What was Hurricane Rina is now a Tropical Depression in the eastern Yucatan peninsula. With sustained winds of 35 mph the storm is forecast to turn eastward tonight and eventually southward. While the storm will never affect the U.S. directly, moisture from Rina continues to surge into southwest Florida, creating mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers. This moisture combined with that of an approaching cold front will give way to a rather wet weekend. The wettest day on tap is forecast to be Saturday; keep that umbrella on hand now through Monday!
