I've just been playing meteorologist

Currently, Tropical Storm Hurricane Tropical Pain-in-the-Tuchus Ernesto is lurking about immediately south of Hispanola (Haiti/Dominican Republic, for the geographically disadvantaged). He's currently predicted to round the islands, bop up into the Gulf (following the nice warm water) then perversely cut across Tampa to go visit Jacksonville -- I think at about Cat 2.

I pulled out all my good weather links, looked at highs and lows and the jet stream and can't see anything myself that'll particularly divert or mitigate Ernesto doing whatever he feels like, short of pushing too far straight north -- the front which apparently parallels the jet stream looks like it'll foil that.

The real forecasters are being twitchy, though. Argh. One way or another though, we're getting wet this week.
