Clark, with the path shifted a little. It definitely takes it down alligator alley and right into Naples. What kind of winds do you think we should expect here. It seems to me that what the local television stations are down playing what type of winds we could get.

The initial motion estimate is 265/5. 12Z and 18Z upper-air data
indicate the subtropical ridge to the north of has changed
little while an inverted mid- to upper-level trough has developed
northward from the Caribbean Sea to . The trough is expected
to induce a slight south of due west motion for the next 12 hours
or so.
There is the little south motion but not enough to get it out over the gulf in less then 24 hours.
Funny how they like the gdfl and but they want to stay right of the models.
Guess they will wait and see what the which to me has been all over the map what it does i guess we should go by since that is the one they are using

On the other thread, Rabbit (I think it was Rabbit) said that the high coming down from Texas would turn clockwise, thus pushing the storm more to the west than the north. This does not make sense to me. Wouldn't it push the storm more EASTWARD?
Maybe the models are not picking up on the strength of the high (surprise!) or the high is not going to be as strong as we thought.
I guess it all depends on what happens with once she makes landfall and how long it takes her to cross the state.

Looks like the Eye Wall is relocating more to the s/e of last position?

I think I know what you are seeing, and you may be right. Look at this last few images of this loop:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-vis-loop.html
You can see the center along with some very high cloud tops twitching to the SE. This, if it continues for any length of time, could be an interesting development. As the storm would eventually begin moving more westerly with time, it would go over a more narrow portion of the state. This would allow for a little less weakening than is currently projected.

I can't see that...I think it is close to making landfall, and I don't think it's done so yet. The latest I heard was somewhere in between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and that was from . I would really like to know the timing of the H coming out of Texas and how it will influence 's 2nd landfall. I also wonder if she will slow down at all...although 6mph isn't exactly speeding ticket material. 
Like our weather forecasters just said, we're in a holding pattern (Tampa) for the next 24 hours.

According to Brian Norcross on CBS 4, there is now a tornado warning for a portion of the Keys (Big Pine Key area). Also reported that a 66 mph gust was reported at Ft Laud. Int. Airport.
Here's a link to those interested in watching. http://cbs4.com/
With the current movement, perhaps the prediction could verify. I concur both with the appearance of the eye relocation (almost appeared to "bounce off" the coast) and a "holding pattern" Tampa.

I think it is also to close to land to fully develope. It was recorded from recon to have a Porrly Defined Eye but anything could happen. As far as land fall the I think will be pretty much on with alittle north of Ft lauderdale, most likly Pompano.

Hey guys,
Katrina could have gotten stronger if only that dry air hadnt intruded into the circulation. Visible imagery shows a well defined over the centre right now. This would correspond to the recent pressure falls reported by recon, and also go some way to explaining the improvement of the inner core noted on radar - particularly the formation of a well defined eyewall - especially to the eastern side of the eye. Dont expect particularly rapid weakening with the system once the centre is overland. The terrain is hardly the type likely to rip her apart. The circulation is already spreading over the offshore waters off the southwest FL coast, and will help to continue to feed convective bands into the storm. What may happen could be for the inner core to slacken, and the general wind field to expand. This may actually slow the restrengthening over the GOM if this happens, but of course this is by no means certain.
On a side note, looks like we will have TD13 sometime within the next day or so if the latest is anything to go by. The suggest the low / wave 1000 miles east of the islands could become a TD at anytime, so expect classification at either 0300z or 0900z. And also the area of disturbed weather to the SE of the Bahamas bears watching, with some evidence of a mid-level circulation - although this doesnt appear to be reflected at the surface yet.

conditions in Miami Beach are extremely poor. A Miami Herald newspaper machine was picked up and thrown down the street, trees are beginning to snap and power lines are going down as well. I think most people really didn't take the threat seriously, and the storm continuous to intensify, or at least it feels like it is....

Okay, now I see it...definitely looks like it's almost determined not to make landfall, LOL! We'll have to see if that continues...another wrench thrown into the pile. Ugh.
Denis Phillips reminded us of all the "flip flops" that did as far as model runs. I also think the NWS = Tampa is trying to remind everyone that this is not over for Tampa by any means.
Time will tell. Just think, by this time tomorrow night, we'll know.
I hope.

Looks like motion is nearly stationary the last hour with maybe a hint of southwest drift. The convection is wrapping around an "eye-like" center. Appears to still be strengthening. Anyone have any recent obs from the Miami-Ft Laud area?

The last frame of the IR loop looks like she has either wobbled or is heading more southwest now. What was the one model that predicted extreme south Florida/Keys? Was that ?

Looking at the radar on local news, it looks as though Miami may be the area of landfall; it's just south of Ft. Lauderdale and it's still offshore. Looks pretty healthy to me, also. Weird storm.

Am I crazy or does it look like it was about to make landfall, then slid to the south? Looks like the western side of the eyewall closed up!
Ok...I'll go make dinner. Then I'll come back and look at it again. Sheesh.
