		<title>Fay&#8217;s third landfall on Florida occurring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Tropical Storm Fay is currently in the midst of its third landfall roughly in the St. Augustine area.  It&#8217;s packing 60 MPH winds and is tiptoing its way toward the northwest at 2 MPH.  Tropical Storm Warnings extend from roughly just south of the Space Coast to the Savannah River.  Judging by [...]]]></description>

		<title>NWS has begun issuing local statements on Fay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The National Weather Service in Charleston initiated local statements on Fay at about 7:00 tonight.  Weather Underground is a good place to read these statements, as they do some processing to make them mixed case and thus a bit easier to read.  The latest statement from NWS Charleston as of this writing came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fay strengthens over land, confounds forecasters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every year or so, we get a reminder of just how unpredictable tropical systems can be.  Tropical Storm Fay is proving to be that storm.  It&#8217;s done very little to plan at this point; it surged more westward than expected; came onshore weaker than expected, and now it&#8217;s done what is usually unthinkable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tonight&#8217;s Fay Briefing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Serious Business proper was preempted somewhat tonight by a briefing on Charleston Weather for Tropical Storm Fay.  I&#8217;m planning on doing a few more videos as the storm gets closer; the interactive sessions on Ustream could be potentially useful as we continue to learn more about what Fay is going to do.  Blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great tropical weather resource</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I encourage you to check out the Hurricane room on FriendFeed, the hyper-aggregator service.  The room, created by Rob Williams and suggested to me in comments the other day, brings in a variety of sources of information about hurricane threats in one location with full interactivity and commenting.  (Rooms are why FriendFeed kicks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fay is Serious Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight&#8217;s Serious Business will be a two-parter; we&#8217;ll be starting out on Charleston Weather talking about the latest with Tropical Storm Fay, now a 55 MPH tropical storm starting to make a northward turn to take it over Cuba and into the Gulf.  We&#8217;ll talk about where Fay is now, where it&#8217;s been, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>92L Becomes Fay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Invest 92L has become Tropical Storm Fay, spinning right over Hispaniola right now tracking to the west at 40 MPH.  The current track &#8212; which, given the history of this storm, has the potential to be incredibly variable &#8212; takes it over Hispaniola and into Cuba, and then out just south of the Keys [...]]]></description>

		<title>Focus (Or Lack Thereof)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something I&#8217;ve always struggled with is my blog&#8217;s focus.  I tend to zero in on topics for a little while and then drift to something else.  It quite fits my semi-neurotic personality &#8212; I&#8217;m definitely a &#8220;phase&#8221; kind of guy &#8212; but I realize that for the few folks who do read me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hurricane Hunters headed into 92L</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The National Hurricane Center reports that Hurricane Hunter aircraft are currently investigating Invest 92.  NHC&#8217;s boosted the chances of development in that area of disturbed weather to over 50%.  Despite its disorganization, I&#8217;ve seen lesser storms classified as tropical depressions, and I think this one will be classified before the day is out. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A quickie 92L update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The morning models are basically unanimous now on recurving Invest 92 northward.  Roughly half the models are split on where it recurves; half of them are recurving it before the Bahamas, and half of them are recurving it afterward (with a couple stragglers taking it into the Gulf of Mexico; I&#8217;m counting this as [...]]]></description>
