Major Storm But Limited Impacts On Forecast Area

Hurricane Ike remains a strong category 3 hurricane.  As discussed yesterday, Hurricane Ike will go through pulse downs and ups as the hurricane goes through eye-wall replacement cycles.  There is no doubt now that Hurricane Ike will remain a major hurricane through the weekend and into early next week as the hurricane moves towards the [...]

Local Forecast Discussions Updated
