Ernesto....
Now even named yet, but it's Tropical Depression #5 at this point. Projected to come into the Gulf by sliding underneath Cuba. Still a long ways away, but just giving everyone a heads up...

Yep, and it's already caused oil prices to jump a buck.

Long way to go yet, not even guessing where it's heading for around 36 hours. Kinda low around Cuba so should head away from Florida unless it makes a heck of a turn north then east......but they have done that before.

Well, it's a named tropical storm now (Ernesto). Once it gets into the Gulf, it is a done deal about making landfall somewhere....... The only two questions are, (1) how strong is it going to get before landfall takes place? and (2) who exactly is going to get smacked by it.
I believe around September 10th is the peak of hurricane season activity, and that is coming up pretty shortly. Man, wouldn't it be nice to have a year where Florida escaped ALL the paths? One can only hope...... We've had our share of the fun and games, I think.
