Topic: Tropical Storm Richard

[Barry Curtis]

Tropical Storm Richard, the seventeenth named storm of the season, continues to move very slowly in the western Caribbean.

In the near term, the system will be a heavy rain and flood threat in Jamaica. 

Richard could become our tenth hurricane of the season as it makes a turn northwestward towards the Yucatan Peninsula over the weekend.

Hopefully we could get a little rain here in Louisiana as it goes over towards Florida.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's coming to Florida. Not that I want a hurricane but we really need some rain.
Models are pretty much taking it to CA where it dies.
Of course you never know with the tropics though.

Sorry, that was what the models were saying earlier in the week. You are correct.
