(1) Thread 3: Storm #Elsa
Forecast has swung back & forth between Tropical Storm (TS) & Cat 1 Hurricane this week.
Currently 65mph max sustained winds, with a chance of re-intensification. So, the H warnings remain.

(2) By the way, the next names on the Atlantic storms list are #Fred and #Grace. This season is forecast to be above-average in number and intensity of storms.
For now, #Elsa is the only hurricane-ish storm near the USA.
It has not yet made landfall but that's expected today.

(4) The forecast cone has shifted a bit and Elsa is expected to traverse inland GA, SC, NC & VA before hugging the coast all the way through the Maritimes in Canada. Might even show up in Europe, we'll see.
