THere is a brave soul still uploading photos from Cancun at this link from StormCarib. The worst hasn't reached there yet.
I've posted the link in the main thread, but thought it beared mentioning here as well.
My god... what is that guy THINKING???? Of course... these pictures are a good example of why NOT to go out during a category 4 hurricane. I wonder how long he'll be able to provide new images, though... not long I don't think.
well he certinly gets some free publicity for his real estate business.

From looking at sat images. The last 6 frames, or 3 hours, show about no movement. If anything she is creeping north ever so slightly. Doesn't look like she will bury herself in the Yucatan, but you never know, she could start moving west again.
Is it the cool front we are experiencing here in Arkansas that is supposed to turn this thing east? Someone please tell me exactly what is supposed to nudge this baby once it finally gets enough steam to "walk on through to the other side"?
The cold front that is going to bring cold temparature and rain to southern Ontario in Canada has lowered to Jet stream to move

Dropsonde in the SSE eyewall (which is the stronger side of the system right now) measured 137 kt winds at the surface, while a dropsonde in the NE eyewall measured 102 kt winds at the surface.

Ah, now I see. Yes, those are impressive clouds and storms. Look at it from my perspective - Florida native and nearly 55. You'll get used to these, maybe.

How reliable was the reading in the SSE eyewall, I wonder? 137kts is *JUST* over the threshold of cat 5 (157.55 mph by my calculation, which the would round to 160). Will we see the storm upgraded to cat 5 at the 8pm intermediate advisory, or was this considered a gust? I assume it was a gust.
Edit: Well the 8pm advisory is already out with winds at 140... so I guess it was a gust.

A little more on that cold front: East WV loop
Will it dig as far south as they think? Or is that the one that is expected to miss and another will come along behind it?

One dropsonde indicating 137 kt winds is not enough evidence to raise the intensity up that high, because it could be more of a gust. There have been several dropsondes prior to this in the 120-130 knot range at the surface though, stronger than the winds at higher levels measured in the same dropsonde, so the wind profile may be a little unusual compared to most storms.

Further north than previously, and not exactly a weak system either. This run is more along the lines of what my thinking has been for the past few days.
Tpratch, I'd like to give you a big public thank you for your work with the radar and the track today. That has been VERY helpful. I really appreciate it and hope that you will continue.

That looks like somewhere near Punta Gorda. Not good.

I just don't see how that front is going to push EAST as far as they say. The orientation of the front and the position of it just doesn't make sense for that kind of trajectory IMHO. Now, there are two more troughs behind that one I think, and the THIRD one is the one they expect to move the storm out... but it too is oriented wrong for that in my opinion. I still expect a landfall further north in Florida than the forecast, unfortunately.
Edit: Punta Gorda sounds about right... and we know what happened last year when Charlie got near Punta Gorda.

I've had a bad feeling about this storm for several days. Maybe the LBAR model will verify - maybe not, but my gut feeling is that landfall will be closer to Tampa Bay.
