We knew when we booked our vacation that August in Florida meant hot humid weather with afternoon thunderstorms everyday. We also knew we were coming during the start of Tropical Storm season, having survived Tropical Storm Fay the last time. When the forecasts started showing Hurricane Irene and the uncertain path she would take early in the week we were a little concerned.

This was one of the model paths on Monday August 22, the day we started at Disney. It wasn’t looking to good for us.

This turned out to be the path as the Hurricane was pushed further east and missed Florida. The forecast for Friday is rain most of the day, the effects from one of the outer bands, probability was 60%.
