One more mb and breaks his own record....
For a bit this afternoon, it appeared that the strong convection on the north eyewall was waning. Recent IR shots show it to be building back in. Could he grow even stronger this evening? (This is getting to be a daily evening habit with ).

Stewart is a genius, and reminds me of a prior legend-Dr. Neil Franks (I think?)
I also think this board had those issues covered well, as a number of us were seeing the synoptic scale pattern the same way, but a pro like him really teaches you something. Now, we have a road map of what to follow, and learn something while its happening.

Right, Scott...that's what one of our local mets just said. The reason the forecast track hasn't shifted more east is because they are using the old ones.
He just said (this minute) that based on the info the recon planes are giving back, two of the models have the new "north" motion in it and they have shifted it to the right: the UKMET and the . These are new runs, not the old ones.
He said this northward motion may just be a trend, but based on what his face is telling me, he doesn't believe it.
11pm will tell the tale.

"Despite the large
eye of 25-30 nmi...the pressure has continued to fall. ...some
additional slight strengthening of 5 kt or so could occur later
tonight"...
wow!!!!
This is quite frightening, really. Pucker up time...

It was quite a funny running joke while it lasted...
now you better get outta the way!
Be safe...again...no way to take your boat out of the water...or is it safer to keep it in the bay and hope for the best?

dd, there is an upper level low which is not easily visible on most sat pics or surface maps that is directly responsible for shifting the track from the wnw to nnw. That low is moving away slowly, and as it does, will gradually lose its influence on , therefore, it should start to move NW again instead of NNW. There is another one coming though, and this SHOULD cause even more of a turn to the right. Also, in the Gulf, the upper level winds are from the west or southwest, so as it gains latitude, that will also bend its track back. That will also create some shear-stronger winds in a direction that can hurt the convection's organization, and that is why they expect it to weaken a little. As for forecasting where it should land, I don't want to do it, because I am afraid too much credence might be given to an amateur's view, and I don't want to scare anyone. If this were landfalling in another part of the country, maybe I'd be a little less reluctant to do so.

My boat is way to big to get out of the water...a friend of mine moved his up the river. I chose to stay...
He had 600' of extra line to tie to trees and also anchor..then he will abandon the boat and see what's left.
If a strong 4 or 5 hits our marina...it's quite likely nothing will be left. We are surrounded by huge oak trees...but the fact remains...the boat will likely be a total loss.
I will, of course, NOT be on it...

Rick- if maintains himself as a cat V at landfall, you will be able to drive your boat here to ATL to visit me......
I'm still calling a PCB landfall give or take 50 miles. However, based on the qualifiactions that I have for landfall, Mobile, Pascagoula, and Gulf Shores don't look to good either. Sorry, all.

What we should watch out for in Central/west Florida is 1) the NW course resumes and 2) that as the shortwave moves off to the NE, that any ridging that replaces the exiting trough has enuf umph to steer it north and continue the 8 knt motion. Often the steering currents become weak when there is a handover from ridge/trough/ridge. We shall see, but the west coast of Florida does not want to see him slow or stall; just keep moving, and hopefully weaken considerably before landfall in the panhandle. Still without power in Palm Bay, day 9. Watching and Possible Jean. More fun.

I was watching The Perfect Storm (for the 800th time) last night and I was actually picturing you trying to ride it out...
Glad you're taking the safe route! Peace.

rick on a boat,
It was just a week or so ago that we were ragging on you for your trying to get into the gulf.
I think you have the right attitude. Secure the boat as best you can and then hope for the best.
Sometimes boats fare better than you would think.
Good luck and stay safe.
