if you look at this loop, you will notice three things:
first, the hurricane made a shot at a "stadium eye" earlier and now the entire system is beginning to look a little ragged
second, click the forcast points box and note that the hurricane still continues each time to move north of the forecast track
third, note the trough off of Florida (those fast-moving high clouds) and the fact that it is no longer moving west but the hurricane still is--this may be pointing in the direction of movement later on down the line
the WV loop backs this up

I'm gonna go out on a limb here (and I'll bring my crow with me) but I think at 11pm we will see an ohsosubtle shift to the west and south and exiting the state near Cedar Key.
I guess the only good thing I can say is that we haven't had a truckload of rain here lately. Anything to be positive, right? 
Ok, Colleen, but WHY are you thinking this? The ever so 'consistant' adjustments west most storms have had this year, something you've noticed on satellite or just different interpretation of published facts...or, heaven forbid, womans' intuition Seriously, let us inside your head a bit....

Skeet you do all this for free? Husband also says your site is the best and of course this site is part of it...................you should put a pay pal on your site for donations.
We are always looking at various revenue models and eventually there will be premium services available at Weather, however, our maps will always remain free.
Here's why:
I own a couple of successful internet businesses, which we closed for 4 days when came through. I thought it would be a good idea to go help with relief efforts.
We relocated from Michigan in July. After unloading two semi trailers of water by hand in Lake Wales, we realized we couldn't take the heat and were quickly becoming potential heat casualties for the Polk County EOC to deal with.
So... Weather is our way of contributing.
Skeetobite.com has no ownership or affiliation with flhurricane.com. We distribute our maps here free of charge for the benefit of flhurricane.com's members and guests.
Please make any dontations to cfhurricane.com to cover their recent hardware purchase. I think they are half way to their goal of covering this equipment. PM MikeC for details on how you can contribute to this valuable resource.

That long awaited shift to the west continues to tease us. Between today's 5:00 a.m. update and the 8:00 p.m. uppdate (15 hours) Jeanne moved a total of 56 miles west and 34 miles north... that's WNW for todays movement so far.

Yeah that's not far at all! That's my exit to and from I-4. I don't doubt the swimming is closed, the St. Johns is incredibly high and here comes Jeanne. The flooding around our area is what I'm worried about most. Neither or did any damage to us, save a screen on our back porch which was nothing compared to the loss others faced. But they closed Catalina for awhile which really messed up my travel time to work...

I noticed the same thing.....................weather hobbiest..........and that is just a nice thing even though it is not really true........I am more like trying to keep my group at home safe and be able to someday spend more time on hobbies............but this could become a hobby as I am curious as how these systems tick................thanks

The titles are automated (click the FAQ link at the top to see what they are and how many posts you need to get one), unless I (or one of the admins) override it to say something else.
The only time I've done it is for fully qualified meteorologists (Ie Clark, Jason Kelley, etc)

$10 says post-count and admin whimsy. Probably more of the former than the latter

Yeah, I really don't consider myself more than a hobbYist no matter how many posts I make ;p
And am I mistaken in thinking there's a PayPal link on the page somewhere to donate? I haven't seen one, and wouldn't hesitate to drop some coin to help this great site out...

It's on the bottom of the main page. I had it up on top, but thought it was a little much there.

Just got back from "enduring" dinner at an Italian restaurant with my family...
Haven't had a chance to really look at anything yet, but I notice Fort Pierce is now the landfall target.
I made my crow munching forecast without the use of any modeling, just knowing my climatology and some kind of weird sixth sense...
Well, I get back from dinner and holy $h!+, that's right where I predicted...I do not want to be right with this forecast, usually they go the OPPOSITE direction of the calls I make...that's why I'm overweight...too damn much crow!
I wish I had gotten more sleep in the earlier part of the week, cause I'm sure not getting much the next 72 hours and beyond.
Of course, I'm sitting here all safe and sound while many of you are facing Hell for the umpteenth time in 7 weeks. I'd hazard a guess all y'all have had much less sleep than I have.
Must be the season of the witch!
