Let's not panic all these people. The wave is very far south and looking at it this morning,it appears less organized with less convection than yesterday. Considering the upper pattern over the eastern U.S. I doubt this will ever become anything to worry about. Check http://www.goes.noaa.gov and see for yourself.
