Some convection really beginning to fire now. Scotsvb/Colleen/RAS, what intensity do yous forecast for her at the peak? SSTs are warm west of her, just wondering what or if any shear will develop before if gets near the coast. Does anyone still feel she will cross the peninsula?? Anxious in Palm Bay...No time to check models, thanks!

for example... when they were insisting was going to hit the West Coast of Florida or Big Bend area and bend back towards the NE there were no probs for New Orleans.
New probs came out and suddenly New Orleans had a low prob.
Didn't mean to me that New Orleans was going to get the storm but did indicate that there was some question as to how far left the track might be shifted.
for example...... oh and of course soon after we began to hear about Mobile

Well, just got through reading everyone's posts from midnight thru now...excellent work all...to SirCane and everyone still feeling the wrath of , my prayers and thoughts continue to go out to you...scott & Richard & Colleen sure burned the midnight oil and kept things from getting crazy...thanks to you guys...
The "hex" guy is the Rabbit...if there was ever a time for the patented "Rabbit Voodoo Hex" [tm HF], that time is now...the new and updated definition of the Rabbit Voodoo Hex (maybe Mike will include it with the other 'terms' like wishcasting and wave mongering) is:
Rabbit Voodoo Hex: The weakening and/or complete dissolution of an otherwise healthy system for no apparent reason.
Bugs, if you're out there, work your magic.
Anyhoo...things may be looking up this morning, emphasis on may...too many variables right now...11:00 is probably out, so I need to look at that right now.
Thanks to all who praised the site...Mike, John & Ed do an outstanding job...welcome to all new new members...and thanks for the great job by the long time members!
Back at 'cha in a bit.

I am pretty much along with on this one. Looks like 110-120MPH will be her peak winds, IMHO. I think she will be closer to 100-110 at landfall myself.

I can't imagine going through at night....that must have been extremely frightening. Why do they always seem to make landfall at 4am?
I read about the people who decided to stay and didn't make it. Unfortunately, some people are willing to risk their lives to avoid the inconvenience of evacuating or they just think that they will make it through it. That's very sad, but it happens too often even though they are warned to leave. If an offical came to my house telling me that if I don't evacuate I'd have to give them the name of the next of kin, that would jolt me to the core.
Is the hassle of evacuating worth your life? Do they think of the people that love them that they are leaving behind? Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I could do that to my family. However, it's still very sad.

You know you're a hurricane freak when you wake up in the morning and hit "REFRESH" on CFHC instead of the Snooze Button.

ETA (again not a good hurricane tracking model to use but better then the tropical model suites) 12Z run is out showing a more southerly route compared to the 6z run. Now showing inland near WPB in 36hrs across to Sarasota-Ft Myers by 48hrs.
Scott,
Last night your forecast, with which I agreed BTW, called for an East Coast Florida track +/- a dozen or so miles from the coast. Are you still leaning that way or are you toying with the idea of a 'Frances' transversal of the Central Florida area?
Me, I'm definitely toying with that idea more and more. I'm not ready to buy that package just yet, but I'm increasingly becoming an 'easy sale' customer. I'm guilty of turning *hope* into *forecast" using the same criteria I warn others against: "Because it hurts ME less" models. I continue to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Best = fewest people affected,with the least damage

Are there actually hurricanes that make landfall during the day? I can't think of any. I think that is my prediction. Jeanne will hit at night.

Another typical August:
Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.

takes a long, long time to really understand all the nuiances of the water vapor imagery
it is often mentioned as a tool by some of the better forecasters at the in discussion
it is not used alone but it will often show you what is evolving in different levels of the atmosphere when you move back and forth between other sats and obs
the storm will move in the atmosphere whichever way it is easiest.. as many have said "like something dropped into a stream" so while on IR and VIS something may look tougher than nails or about to erode... the water vapor shows an evolving pattern that will often become tomorrows IR or VIS
And...yes as you said you have to know what to adjust for when looking at it. Because as with most things online "what you see is not always what you get"

Your reasoning and conclusions are right on! That's how it should have been viewed, IMO.

Charley made landfall around 4:00 in the afternoon.

Scott, the 11 a.m. discussion mentions possible movement south of due west. Would this support those models like ETA and , that take Jeanne across the peninsula? Or is this southward motion expected to be short-lived?

i think the 11am discussion also said it would be a short lived short of west movement...
never thought I would look forward to the end of hurricane season...

Well, then at least we could be SURE the rest of what's left of St. Lucie County would blow away.

Lois,
I've seen several of your posts and they are really good. I just wish you'd register so I can PM you  (My first girlfriend's name was Lois and I'm on the prowl <grin>) Seriously, take the plunge, you'd be a asset here I think.
