ROFLOL.......so if I see a bald man roaming around my yard, I'll know who he is right away.
I think he must have played football in HS or college...he definitely has that "football player" profile. I should know, I am spending 75% of my life with 2 football teams...

All right Scottsvb, I'll bite:
What's up with the convection tonight? The storm seems to have lost a lot of punch in the last few hours, and for the first time in a while, it looks like the eyewall may be open to the SW. Is this being caused by dry air entrainment, or the fact that it is recrossing its own path and therefore crossing over cooler ocean temps? Or something else altogether??

That's not good for WPB. Stephanie seems to be the new point person. As in: point closest to the eye. She did a good job in Mobile, I guess they are trying to give Cantore a rest.
Or sweeps are on and they are pushing ratings.

I remember thinking that Cantore never makes it to quite the right spot. Seems like he was a bit too north for and not in the heavy action for . Is that right? Isn't Abrams the one who's always getting blown around? Maybe I'm confused.

Hey Scott,
Change your forecast track so I am not dead center in it. I am halfway between Pompano Beach and Jupiter Inlet. PLEASEEEE

Convection is less tonight cause its going over the waters it just came from 4 days ago,,,,,Its like going in the pool,,its nice and very warm,,,,then a thunderstorm hits, after it stops you go back in and the water is alot cooler. The eye though has shrunk some so I dont think its really losing much but it will strengthn once it gets past 74W.

Don't blame Scott for the track. He just connects the dots. put the numbers out, and we all know they will change.

Silly - and somewhat off topic question.
Why is it that everytime I move my mouse over the word Jeanne a thumbnail sized map of the forecast path show up on the end of my cursor?

connect the dots? My forecast was out at 230,,,they have theirs at 5pm. Notice they are the same. LOL. I know just coincidence....I cant spell tonight. Anyways Im usually alittle different from the paths unless they come into my thinking a few hours later. Also if you read stewart he said alot of the same as me and I did my post earlier. Oh well nothing is set in stone. I want to see that due west motion start now and if it dont by morning. Then it may just possilbe be up farther (of course) closer to Vero Beach-Melbourne landfall then going NW between Orlando and the Cape then N to Jacksonville. Right now. Lets wait.

I am hoping tourists are taking note of the hurricane approaching our coast.
Tourists (I am not talking about evacuees) have no business being in town during a hurricane. Tourists not only jam up the roads, but they also are competing with locals for food, shelter, ice, and gas. Sorry I had to vent about this.. I welcome tourists any other time, however, "We hate to say it as much as you hate to hear it, Florida will closing in 10 minutes, please procede to your nearest airport for the earliest departure". Come back again when things are not so chaotic..
Dont even get me started about Disney opening parks the day after Hurricane .. Greedy little Mouse.. Sorry I am way off topic again..

That is a touching article.
I suggest if anyone passed that up the first time, take a look.
Gives me a greater admiration of Jim Cantore.

Ahh the joys of CSS...
(Cascading Style Sheets) are the best thing to hit web design since - well, anything. They allow you to do certain things to your content and in this case Jeanne (Karl ?) let's presume active storms, are singled out by the webmaster to get their own style applied - in this case, it's a highlight and if your browser supports it, a thumbnail of the track.
