I am one that has had more than enough of hurricanes for a long time to come, and I hope Jeanne does not survive Hispanolia, but the seems to think it will. Also I fear for the people on that island, Jeanne has already dropped as much as 20 in of rain on parts of PR, at least 12 in elsewhere.

It looks like the benchmark today for Jeanne will be whether she survives the mountains of the Dominican Republic. On my last vacation there, I biked those mountains and they are some very high peaks. I believe the highest peak is called Pico Duarte and is 11,000 feet above sea level. Jeanne's current track seems to be jogging southwest which is a little unexpected according to the models. Take a look...

My "guess-cast" is for Jeanne to weaken but survive the DR. After that I think she will regain her strength. If she is a slow mover, the Atlantic ridge will rebuild post-Ivan and Jeanne will go further west than the models are now predicting. If Jeanne moves quickly, the ridge won't have time to rebuild and she will follow the models' path and go north towards the Carolinas.

I am so tired of these storms. I think they're fascinating, but living in hurricane alley is wearing me down. I've decided that I won't worry about Jeanne (for now, as she grows-so will my worry). I am very worried about what's behind Jeanne!!!
Looks like may have made landfall in Alabama, but would appear that Florida has taken the worst hit.

This has been a busy season! It's interesting to note the trend of a strong storm being paired with a weaker one at the same time. Examples:
Charley + Bonnie
Frances + Gaston
Ivan + Jeanne
Following this trend, I'm not nearly as worried about Jeanne as I am about the future Karl.

I agree that jeanne will suffer a near fatal blow today...The ridge is strong and is rapidly repositining itself SW'd due to guess what ...IVAN
Also an ULL is forming SW of the storm in the cetral Carribean
Jeanne is blocked from more northward turn for now and will have to encounter Hispanola, nd then if it emerges with a circulation into the Carribean, a potentially hostile environment there with southerly shear...It looks bad for this system to me.

There is a organizing area of convection about 300 miles south west of the cape verde islands, looks like we could have another depression. If this storm devlops I wonder when they will have it recurving, will it be a fish spinner because of that or will it recurve arouund the Azores ridge. Hopefully this one will be a fish spinner but we have Jeanne to worry about first.

First, with the remnants of , which is still a big issue because if it stalls, areas that don't need rain, could see severe flooding......
I think 3 out of the last 4 runs take the remnant circulation to the Va. capes before getting it trapped. This would be better news for those in the Southern App. because the rainfall distribution will be larger.
This is due to the fact that the (and the last ETA run) have temporarily picked up by a trough moving through the N.E., then it cuts off again, as the trough moves away, and High pressure ALOFT builds over top the remnant low. In fact, the closes off a 588 Dm height line over the mid Atlantic-N.E., which is pretty strong. How Jeanne interacts should probably wait for more data, and time.
I am not going to go into model forecasts for Jeanne, since I don't think any have been initialized well yet.
Here is a link to the Model Diagnostic discussion, which comes out twice a day, usually around 1.

Latest Visible satellite imagery shows Jeanne now back on a WNW course. This should keep Jeanne riding along the spine of the northern coast of Hispaniola. Florida really needs to watch her since she may indeed weaken only a bit before clearing the island. I believe a more westward track will be shown by 5pm.

Most models and the official track both show a sharp turn northward just before Andros Island. Let's keep watching the models for that key turn in that approximate area. If not, it's a straight shot right into Miami. I already have this all figured out with Florida. The male storms like the west coast(Charley and ) and the females like the east coast(Frances and Jeanne). See the pattern. and make direct hits and and Jeanne make near misses. We hope.

If you check with Pensacola right now, they would not be telling you was a miss. Pensacola got the worst of from the reports I am getting.

Thanks to all of you who post. I have learned so much since finding you! I plan to go back and read everything again when there is less stress attached to it.
I have been sending lots of prayers to all in the path of this monster. I hope it helps to know that efforts are mobilizing not only in Florida but all over the country to assist. I was amazed at how fast the electric utility trucks arrived from as far away as Indiana and Texas after . The Florida National Guard was out in force. Police, Fire and EMS units came from all over the state. They'll be headed your way, even a delegation from Punta Gorda, many of whom lost their own houses in , but volunteered because so many came to help their community.
Now back to Jeanne - hope we can scare her back out into the Atlantic, where she can't harm anyone else. Thanks again for all of your wonderful information!

that sharp turn seems a little dubious to me. just dont see it materializing i suspct doesnt either since they are going down the middle of the guidance...no pint in scaring nyone at this point. heck local met in miami on nbc6 last didnt even put the 5 day come up because he said we are in it and there is no point in getting people concerned. i thought that was irresponsible because he told us we were in the cone yet didnt show it and isnt his job to report the facts. so i guess from now on i will look at roland steadhams info as incomplete. used to repsect the guy but id ont know after that stunt.

Glad to hear you are okay. Do you have any idea how the beaches fared? Especially the PCB area?
It's been raining here. The wind is starting to pick up a bit. Not huge gusts though. My neighbor went to pick up batteries and candles. I couldn't help but to laugh at her. (As a Fl girl, what we're going to get will be a picnic compaired to what Al/Fl got)

I don't think that turn will happen either, also the has the storm acclerating once it gets into the Bahamas and remaining hurricane strength. If you ask me, I think that they bombed on this track.

Well, this model tract is still 5 or so days out. Lets wait till it gets a little coser to see whats going to happen with it. I think the farther west it is able to go the more of the central or north part of the state may have to worry.
