We don't have much longer. Pretty soon, the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season will be over. To date, we've had 15 named storms, with 8 hurricanes. 5 of those hurricanes were considered major (Category 3+). There is a disturbance the NHC is watching for development in the Caribbean moving west towards Nicaragua, but it doesn't look like it will amount to much.

Back here in West Central  Florida, we've got nearly perfect weather.  Daytime temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s, while night-time temps will be in the 50s and 60s. Dry air will remain over the area, as high pressure moves in.

On a side note, I've just joined Foot's Forecast, a national group of high school and college students forecasting the weather. I'm the first in Florida to join. If you'd like to check them out, the main site is www.footsforecast.org, and the Florida section is on Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Foots-Forecast-Central-Florida/164039986941236?v=wall ). The Florida page covers Central Florida, including the cities of Brooksville, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Orlando, and Kissimmee. Disney and Universal will be mentioned regularly, so if you are planning a trip to either one, be sure to check on the weather before you get there.
