Jean and Jimmy!

















This is an update for everyone to let you know that Jimmy's sister Jean is doing very well and still recovering from her liver and kidney transplant. These pictures were taken this past weekend when we visited with her and her husband Tom! Please continue to keep this family in your prayers!


My husband Jimmy will be going to Miami this week to see the transplant surgeon and to begin his dialysis at home and we covet your prayers.....Thanks to everyone for all you do to encourage us in our journey!


Look how beautiful Jean and Jimmy look together, I just had to share this!

Florence!

Honestly, not much to say about Florence today. Forecast is pretty straightforward. Florence will continue WNW today and begin to turn more NW tomorrow on its way to Bermuda. As I discussed yesterday I believe the trough is alittle stronger then the GFS is showing. This was confirmed by the NHC discussion this morning. Thus, my current track forecast takes Florence to the East of Bermuda as a Cat 1 Hurricane Early Monday morning. The intensity forecast for Florence is still rather hard to predict. Both the GFDL and SHIPS models still take Florence to a low end Cat 2 storm. I feel this is alittle too high. Because of Florence's unusual size she has not been able to strengthen, and I doubt she will be able to become a Cat 2 Hurricane. Watches will be going up for Bermuda by tomorrow. Because of her large wind field, Bermuda will definitely start feeling the affects of Florence well before she arrives. The rest of the tropics are quiet today.
