One Treasure Coast Beach This Morning.

Emily Forecast.If you compare this track with the one I showed yesterday you will notice that the track is now a little farther to the east and only the East Coast of Florida is now in the cone.If this track is correct, that would put the center of the storm over the Bahamas, quite a few miles away.
