Good morning.
Irma is currently making landfall along the northern coast of Central Cuba. As noted in this AMs forecast Irma is weakening. It is probably a Cat 3 at present however it should regain some strength after it gets into the Florida Straits early tomorrow am.. Its westerly track is persisting and it is possible that we may see a track slightly further to the west. We'll just have to see.
In about 3 hours it should be due south of Miami.
Below is a link to Key West Radar where you will be able to see live what it is doing and where the rain bands are. The green donut on the bottom is the core of the hurricane, that is where the strongest winds are. If that donut doesn't hit you, you will be spared its worst part. As long as Key West radar is up you will be able to track its progress. If it goes down switch to Miami radar.

I'll write again later however its landfall with Cuba could go a long way in reducing its impact here.
Until next time, Matt.
