But those two high pressure circles there off the coast of Florida? Those mean a few things as far as I understand it.
First, the high pressure circles will frighten the hurricane south. Hurricanes are very afraid of circles. I learned that from watching the muted Weather Channel for hours every day at my last job.
Second, these circles will make things suck a lot for (I think) Cancun.
Lastly, (and most importantly) LAN party in Scottsdale by the pool!
Sure. It'll be 107° the whole time we are there, but it is (as I understand it) a dry heat.
