  1. I didn’t think they’d get this much wind with the eye going south of them. Has to be quite a bit of tree damage since there are many non palms there
  2. TPA now gusting 71kts SPG gusted to 82kts. Sensor at PIE has died
  3. Possible places like Winter Haven/Lakeland/Bartow see worse winds that the Tampa metro based on the way the eye wall could track from east northeast of Sarasota
  4. SRQ came back online. Peak wins about 15 minutes ago of 96mph KSRQ 092353Z 10046G81KT 2 1/2SM RA BR BKN011 OVC016 25/24 A2842 RMK AO2 PK WND 12083/2341 PRESFR SLP624 P0006 60341 T02500239 10261 20244 58211
  5. Oddly enough SRQ does not seem to be transmitting nor does the ASOS report anything if you call it yet its definitely operating because the wind data is updating
  6. It would not be that huge of a track error if this came up the bay, maybe on a straight line 20 miles from the NHC track yesterday, just more a case where it deviated a bit the direction opposite where most models were moving the final 1-2 days
  7. Damn this better make that hook E in a few hours, if it does not its going into St Pete
  8. 00Z Euro makes landfall at St. Pete Beach
  9. Both HAFS go into long boat key, the HMON goes into St Pete still. HWRF still most north into Johns Pass. worst track for Tampa by far
  10. It should steadily do that all day into tomorrow night. I think it might still come in as weak as 110-115, NHC's 120-125 at landfall is about at the top end of everything. The surge definitely will be the main problem with this outside of the immediate areas that get in the eye wall.
  11. The 00Z GFS/ICON have the worst imaginable tracks if you include wind damage/surge in that Tampa would probably avoid the worst surge but St Pete's east side would be obliterated when all the water that rushes in ahead of the storm then floods them on the NE flow when it makes landfall just south. Also, St Pete and Western Tampa would probably get into the NRN eyewall
  12. At the very least I’d feel better now if I lived in fort Myers. You’d need a heck of a forecast error now to take a serious hit so at least the folks who got hit hard by Ian look likely to miss this
  13. 18Z Euro similar to 12Z...it does continue to take that hard ENE movement late just S of Tampa
  14. HMON 896mb at 09z tonight so far. HAFS B does look like it might shift closer to the NHC track but its not in far enough yet
  15. I think most of us 2 days ago expected this might make it to a 4, perhaps a 5, so if we assumed it would be 130-140mph now vs the 170 it likely is the expectation of a 110-125 storm at landfall was reasonable. Its still possible though the shear coupled with another likely ERC means this could weaken significantly on approach
  16. I am wondering if perhaps these hurricane models overreact to wobbles or the system deviating out of the cone. I cannot recall if Helene had multiple occasions of being N or W of the cone or not, obviously the 6 hour cone position is not huge so the system deviating out of it might not impact track at 36-48. But now the storm is E-S of the cone so not sure that led to the 18Z guidance being south whereas global models are not as sensitive. Would have to ask someone who is way more modeling experienced.
  17. 50-75. Most models went over AHN in GA they were at times along the GA/AL Border
  18. Difference this time is the globals and the HWRF are not in disagreement as much from those models as they were last time
  19. The HWRF/HMON/HAFs were with the globals, it was the NHC cane models on the spaghetti plots that were way west
  20. HWRF/HAFS-B 12Z runs are closest on MSLP and likely evolution next 12-18 hours, one is directly into the bay, the other still wants to be more north (HWRF)
  21. Euro again LF around Anna Maria to Bradenton Beach. Still wonder if such a hard hook is realistic or as typical the storm will try to ride out over water or hold a NNE component longer before it moves ashore
  22. Depends, it may be hooking somewhat hard at LF so I think if it comes in over SRQ its probably missing metro TB, if it comes in N of metro Sarasota then definitely it could hit eastern side of the metro
