Erika is no more... But Hawaii needs to keep its guard up in a BIG way...
As expected, Hispaniola wiped Erika apart. Erika is no more. There is however still a slight chance that Erika could gain a bit of strength when she emerges over the Gulf of Mexico, but even still, the State of Emergency was probably overkill. I would have never done that, but that was not my decision. There may still be some flooding rains in Florida however, so it is still worth keeping an eye on.

As for our area, are we getting some beautiful weather or what? It simply does not get much better than this and temperatures will continue to warm to around 90 by Tuesday, then cool back to more normal levels by the weekend, then possibly even more around the middle of the following week.
As for Hurricane Ignacio near Hawaii, it looks as if Hawaii will luck out once more as Ignacio should go north of the islands. One storm after the other had tracked toward Hawaii, but Hawaii has mostly been spared so far this summer. The Pacific has been very active this summer and Hawaii will continue to need to keep its guard up as Hurricane Jimena is next in line and is currently a category 4 storm and is forecast to reach category 5 status (the highest category possible).
