APP ISSUES: FYI – The app is shut down for the time being so just go the mobile site on your phones browser, it does exactly the same thing and you can enlarge the live stream with a pinch. The powers that be won’t let me update the APP and re-submit it because they insist it’s too similar to the mobile site…. F’N Apple store messing with me! Sorry for the interruption in service!

HURRICANE WATCH
Tropical Depression Emilia’s strength continues to wane and will likely become post-tropical later today.
Tropical Storm Fabio has developed and is located about 525 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. Maximum winds are 50 mph. It is moving to the west-northwest at 13 mph and will likely strengthen to a major hurricane in the next few days. Fabio will enter a substantially conducive environment for rapid intensification early next week given lessening mid-upper-level wind shear and very warm water over the region.
