Lots of talk and discussion ongoing concerning the future track and strength of Tropical Storm Erika. And rightfully so. Its been awhile since the eastern seaboard from Florida northward has been under the gun as far as land falling Hurricanes go. There remains a lot of uncertainty this morning concerning Erika;'s future impacts upon the U.S. if any. For us weather nerds it will be an interesting weekend for sure as we watch and wait on Erika.
