Tropics Update - Sunday 6:15 PM

Igor is a major hurricane in the central Atlantic. It looks very impressive on the satellite imagery this afternoon. The current weather pattern should steer Igor away from the East Coast by the end of next weekend. In fact, almost every computer forecast keeps this storm several hundred miles off the coast. We are also watching Tropical Depression 12 near the Cape Verde Islands and a strong tropical wave in the northern Caribbean. We will bring you more updates through the week...stay tuned!
