...HENRI NOW A HURRICANE MOVING OVER VERY WARM WATERS...

 

LETS HOPE THAT THE COOLER WATERS AS HENRI APPROACHES HIS TARGET POINT HELPS TO WEAKEN THE STORM SOME.  ALSO THERE HAS BEEN SHEAR ALONG INLAND ALONG AND ALONG THE COAST.  I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE A FACTOR BUT ITS BEEN THERE SINCE YESTERDAY.
