I'm beginning to think it'll make the turn when part of the eye is already on land.
That's exactly what I just heard on . They are still saying the turn will happen once the eye is over land.

Tom Terry of Channel 9 is talking about a double eyewall. Can someone explain what this means?

My sister lives in Tampa. I called her yesterday after reading all the posts on this site to tell her to pay close attention. Talked with her tonight and she said they were evacuting mobiles, but I don't know about the low lying areas. She is in a flood zone, and they didn't post an evacution for her area.

He's talking about the (Eyewall Replacement Cycle) that Phil has been talking about. Basically, the eyewall is being rebuilt, which seems to be resulting in a smaller eyewall, which may result in a stronger storm. She's running out of water to strengthen in, however.

Jim Williams is out of power, a friend of mine in Palm Beach gardens went out of power, and the guy Jim was talking to in Stuart went out of power to, so it's hitting there pretty hard right now.
(They all went about the same time)

I think the worst conditions will be strong tropical storm by the time it gets to that area. I still feel the storm will pass slightly to the east of the Spring Hill area, though. I see no way this storm cuts south or over Tampa. I would be shocked if it is not North and east of Tampa.

Can anyone tell me how bad its gonna be?
Truth-be-told, no. General condition seems pretty clear now (gnarly), though time-of-turn will effect this. But the micro-wx at your particular location is not predictable. Possible tornadoes are biggest wild card for folks not at the DGZ.

Jim Cantori just mentioned Spring Hill on the air. Said it will probably be worse than in that area.

Based on latest Melbourne radar images (granted it's just a few frames) but as that new eyewall has tightened up it DOES look like it's starting more of a NNW movement.

A double eye wall usually indicates strengthening of the intensity of the winds at the hurricane center. It is just a developmental stage of a hurricane.This can happen easily right before a cane makes landfall and can cause all kinds of unexpected damage to surrounding areas., Hopefully this won't happen in this case.

yeah, I saw that jacki girl say that too. Not likely. Look at the radar. There is a slight w-nw motion but no dramatic 90 deg turn to the north..they are basing there "turn" on a computer model. Right Now, go with track - if anything, the track may have to be shifted slightly south.

Was looking at the Melbourne radar as well - looks like that was just a wobble to the NNW, however it has returned to almost a due W motion in the last few frames...I think

HEY, From Manatee County and not liking all this talk, all of a sudden about the storm coming to my area. Are people beginning to think it is going to go further south than has been predicted?

The current track is only about 10 miles south of the track projected at 5:00 pm... and with this slight turn WNW it is paralleling the projected course pretty well. Nothing unexpected really...
