Morning folks. Yesterday we had Tropical Storm Irma declared and over the last 24 hours or so we have seen steady strengthening such that it now has sustained winds of 70mph and should be declared a hurricane later today. The outlook sees low shear and speed persistent however it will travel over the open ocean with cooler waters and drier air for a while before it ends up west/north west of the Lesser Antillees in about a week. Models are highly aggressive on strength with the Euro bringing it to category 3/4 on several runs while the GFS has had two runs with sub-900mb pressure va
