system. because it will get here by the weekend we will have have to allow for wet weather, maybe tropical moisture gets funneled in from matthew but storm itself will stay off to the south and track shows this very well. currently a potent category three storm system moving to the north west now and going straight now northwesterly at 10 miles an hour. still a slow moving system. as of 8:00 p.m. it may strengthen again to category four status. even if it doesn't make land fall this is too close for comfort to the florida shoreline because of the extent of the storm that is why we have impact all the way out to the western edge and extending into portions of the panhandle where they will find heavy rain. look at what happens here come sunday that storm will make a right-hand turn. thankfully weakening but still category two hurricane and it is strange but this storm will start recurving almost going into a loopy loop and it sits
