Words of wisdom Frank P, words of wisdom. I'm tired or reading about kids in a mobile home killed during a hurricane because the parents didn't get out when told. It makes me sick.

Quote from an e mail......................
"Coastal Weather Research Center Clients,
has returned to the Gulf as a tropical depression. This system is expected to stay below hurricane force as it moves westward toward the Texas/western Louisiana coastline. BLOHW Model forecasts will begin on this system after a well-defined center is located either by aircraft, weather buoys or satellite.
Hurricane Jeanne is performing a loop in the Atlantic well to the east of Florida. But, Jeanne will soon begin a westward motion toward the southeastern Atlantic coast of the U.S.. There is presently no threat to the Gulf; however, there is a slight risk to eastern Florida.
Most likely, this system will threaten the Carolinas by early next week.

I am still prepared. I have plywood (just took it down), I have a generator, plenty of food, my important stuff is still in plastic containers. And to top it all off I still have 20 gallons of gas still. So I am prepared, just don't like not knowing what she is goingto do. Can you explain that ridge? How does it look?

Stay tuned.

NRL still shows 94L as invest and if that doesn't change it will not be classified. They seem to have the heads up in these situations and will put them as "no names" right before they are classified.

If it were to be a central florida hit, what strength do you think it would landfall at?

Yesterday I noted that it was open on the south side, but there is a circulation center so it is a low in my opinion...it is shy of the criteria for classification however. the thoughts are it will continue to organize as it goes wnw

>>> If it were to be a central florida hit, what strength do you think it would landfall at?
I'm in no way shape or form qualified to answer that question. The mets are the ones who can...
If I had to make an educated GUESS, I'd say that (a) it's not going to hit Central Florida and (b) if it did strike there, it would be as a strong I/weak II.
Do not take anything I say seriously. I am a rank amateur who is learning from all the good folks on this site. Always trust the for the final say.

Thanks for the link LI Phil. I love this site. The information from everyone is very insightful. Easier to understand than the weather guys on TV.

The recon aircraft was going in to 94L at 1600Z right? I thought we might have seen some data by now....

From the 3PM Melbourne, FL AFD:
SAT-NEXT WEEK...LATEST 12Z BRINGS JEANNE UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO THE FL EAST COAST SAT AND SAT NIGHT...BEFORE TURNING IT NORTHWARD WITHOUT MAKING LANDFALL. HOWEVER...THIS MODEL IS SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE LEFT (OR WEST) OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE CONSENSUS WHICH TURN JEANNE NORTHWARD FARTHER OFFSHORE. BUT CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT JEANNE WILL TURN TOWARD FL TONIGHT OR THURSDAY...AND CURVE NORTH THIS WEEKEND AT SOME DISTANCE FROM THE COAST. AT EXACTLY WHAT DISTANCE FROM THE FL EAST COAST WILL DETERMINE EXTENT OF OUR WINDS AND RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND. EXPECT AT LEAST AN INCREASE IN THE NORTHERLY WINDS ESP ALG THE COAST AND ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS MOVING ONSHORE. WILL LOOK FOR IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH A SLIGHT DRYING
TREND TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF JEANNE AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IS TEMPORARILY DISPLACED FROM THE STATE. AFTERNOON MAX TEMPS MAY BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL MON-TUE ESP ALONG THE COAST DUE TO OFFSHORE FLOW THAT WILL AT LEAST DELAY THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK...POPS AND DIURNAL TEMPS APPEAR TO RETURN TO MORE OF A
CLIMO REGIME.

But you do know a few things..............was leaving this post open for the onsite mets too. Either way I am prepared this time.
Would be nice to sing "Another One Bites The Dust" that is if she were to go out to sea and fall apart.

When I worked at the Moss Point International Paper Company several years ago we paid USA's Coastal Weather Research about 3k a year as our private consultant for their severe weather and hurricane forecasting capabilities. Their BLOHW model nailed Georges back in 1998 and had it hitting Gulfport 3 days out, which was dead on... it was very costly to shut down a papermill and we needed to get as much information as possible to help us plan for that event...I got know Dr. Bill William on a first name basis as he came out to the mill several times to meet with us, but best of all I could call and talk to him to get personal updates any time we were threatened by hurricanes... It was so cool having them as our hurricane consultants during Danny and Georges.... they do such an OUTSTANDING job.....

That would be a lot better than singing "We Will Rock You"
