Actually Cedar Key has suffered from three major hurricane landfalls, in 1896, 1950 and 1985. Further north is where they have not been hit in the past. 

My guess for landfall is 20 miles east of St Marks at cat-3 intensity around 15z. 

I see 1896 and 1950 but not 1985 for Cedar Key landfall:

Can see it on satellite imagery too. Pinhole eye, so I anticipate based on previous major canes that feature pinhole eyes…a period of rapid and steep pressure falls are near.

Definitely happening right now as we speak and will likely continue between now and say landfall.

Start’n to whistle. 
 

I wonder how much turnover in the bath water it’ll do. If by chance, another hurricane were to track through in the similar area here. And how long it would prohibit RI on the next would be storm within the next weeks. 
 

From what I remember not long. Just a random quick thought. 
 

From this morning to now, it has been an impressive display to watch.

Up in the big bend, shelf and water depths are relatively shallow compared to the rest of the gulf. If this was moving slow, it’d churn up a good bit of the OHP. In this case, not as much with the storms forward speed.

This 18z Euro track is meterological chicken if I've ever seen it -- I mean it basically trucks due north until the very last second, then it gets pulled NE, then it kind of turns back NNE. That's going to make for some tense radar-watching in the morning.

~15 mile SE change in track vs 12Z Euro. Landfall still in Taylor county but central rather than NW. Entire track inland is similarly shifted slightly SE.

The pinhole eye comments are a bit weenie IMO.  It's more clear on other IR color scales that the eye is not cleared out yet.  And we have radar and relatively recent recon data showing the eye is about 20 mi wide.  The eye will likely clear out in the coming hours.

What else would it be then?

You felt the need to announce that talking about a pinhole eye is premature but will likely be correct in an hour?
