NeffsvilleWx Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Band going through the space coast is decent. Sitting under our lanai porch enjoying the show. didnt bother dropping the hurricane fabric for this one. But next time I might close a few panels just so I have a more rain-protected space to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 There’s no nuance on Twitter (and sometimes here) too. A lot of people think RI means a doom scenario TS to cat 4, but there are plenty of instances like this one where you go from a minimal TS to a higher end one or whatever. We talk about categories and wind, but retirement of this name will hinge on the extent of rainfall along the coast and inland. Hard for a lot of folks to be objective (not throwing shade, it is what it is). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSureWeather Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Looks like NHC was off by about 50 miles to the actual center. Can probably adjust the track accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely northeast. This path looks like it would take it between Ocala and Gainesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 6 minutes ago, senc30 said: Which way? Bear in mind though that you look to long range heading for landfalling TCs because wobbles are natural. Center fixes from recon will be extremely helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmanbrad Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 during the last 1/2 hour a big blob of convection developed just about right at 84W and just a pinch north of 28N... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Holy moly is the St Pete area getting slammed. Close to 10” already just south near Sarasota. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Definitely improving structure but dry air is certainly entrained. Watch how unstable the eyewall is. Certainly seems like the storm has developed a solid core but until the dry air it sucked in earlier is fully mixed out I don’t see this strengthening too much. That can happen quick though- see Beryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthrmn654 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 per the tracking she should be between 84-85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
