Hurricane Warning for Caymans

Tropical Storm Paloma has strengthened steadily this afternoon, and now has winds of 65 mph and a pressure of 994 millibars, reported by NOAA hurricane hunters flying through the center this afternoon. Paloma is expected to continue to intensify over the next two days or so, and could become a category two hurricane, possibly a major hurricane. A hurricane warning has been posted for the Cayman Islands as the center is expected to pass very close to those Islands over the next 36 hours. Thereafter, it is expected to make landfall over the mainland portions of Cuba as it merges with a frontal boundary. The leftovers of the storm coupled with the front, will bring nasty weather to the Bahamas late in the 5 day forecast period.

Forecast and Politics

I’m going to do something I dont normally do on here, and that is to display my political views, now that we know the man who will lead our country over the next four years. Before this, please enjoy your Thursday as it will be the last nice weather day for awhile. Highs will be near 71 degrees with mostly sunny skies after some fog wears off in the morning. Friday doesn’t look too bad, but expect some showers and storms later in the day. However, as we head into the weekend, rain AND snow will be once again in the forecast – after all, it is November.

However, I want to congratulate Barack Obama as becoming the president-elect of this great nation. Many of you know that I do not agree with many of his views, and that I supported the red side of the electoral map for this election. While I am disappointed in the results, I am not going to hate people who support him. This is America, and we should be behind our leader, no matter who he or she is. I will also be behind him and I hope and pray that he does good work for this nation, even though I will not agree with everything he says or does. So with that we move forward, and I urge you whether you support or oppose this man, that we come together to truly be a United States of America. God bless you all and God Bless America and our wonderful troops serving for our freedom!
