It just started *pouring* here. Very breezy, too.




We've been experiencing some interesting weather in Naples since about 2pm - brief torrential downpours, thunder and winds to 28mph.

Sounds like we are going to have a nasty TStorm here, but that isn't Hurricane related...

I was surprised how little Lightning there was during the hurricanes we went through last year... Maybe it was muffled by the shingles coming off and slaming against the house...

Thanks for the information...

According to the traffic count, it looks like that 75 north is starting to pick-up pretty good around Valdosta so it looks like that may be one of the evac routes of choice.

Also TWC reported winds of 149mph near Cienfuegos as well as damage reports saying that there has been significant damage to the telecommunications infrastructure on the island of Cuba.

Genneraly, hurricanes don't contain lightning, however it has been observed on rare occasions (I think with the inclusion of dry air, or going over a mountian or something like that).

"SAT...POWERFUL HURRICANE Dennis WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE EAST GULF. LATEST TRACK KEEPS TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WEST OF THE AREA. HAVE CONSIDERED ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY AS SUSTAINED WINDS ARE LIKELY TO BE 25-30 MPH...BUT WILL HOLD OFF FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE ADVISORY FROM THE HURRICANE CENTER.

MAIN ISSUE HOWEVER MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE THE CONVECTIVE BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HURRICANE WHICH WILL BE ROTATING ACROSS THE AREA AND BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS EXCEEDING TROPICAL STORM FORCE. THE BANDS SHOULD START IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS BY EARLY MORNING AND LIFT TO NORTHERN SECTIONS BY AFTERNOON. WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR...THERE IS ALSO A THREAT FOR DAMAGING TORNADOES.

HURRICANE HAS BEEN MOVING NEAR 15 MPH AND IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN A NEARLY STEADY SPEED. THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE OVERALL RAINFALL AMOUNTS. LOCALLY HEAVY TOTALS OF 3-4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS LIKELY NEAREST TO THE CORE OF THE HURRICANE...OVER WESTERN SECTIONS. OF COURSE COASTAL CONVERGENCE EFFECTS COULD LEAD TO AN INTENSE RAINBAND FURTHER EAST TOO. FLASH FLOOD AMOUNTS ARE GENERALLY 3 INCHES FOR ONE HOUR AND 4-5 INCHES FOR
6 HOURS. THEREFORE HAVE OPTED TO NOT ISSUE FLOOD WATCH."

Poetdi, what part of Maitland do you live in? We're probably right under each others noses.




We're in Dommerich Estates - Charley went right over us last year - albeit in a weakened state. No power for 5 days. So many trees came down.

I know that many folks have had it so much worse than us, since we are so far inland. We are not happy about any storm but are glad this one appears to be staying away from us.

Well, then, Shawn...I guess you should read Clark's latest met blog because he says almost exactly what I said and you discounted that.
I may not be a met, but I do have eyes and I can see things happening.
Now I'm dropping the subject because either it will or won't happen.

You can see the clouds coming from the south. It is just a matter of time before we start to see some rain.

You guys remember the hurricane that did a full 360 a few years back. Not many models had that in store either. Models are just that, MODELS.

A tornado watch (probably the first of who knows how many) was just issued for Collier, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties until tomorrow morning.

What about Jeanne last year doing a completely loop-de-loop out there in the Atlantic before she figured out where she wanted to vacation.

Actually, if you are talking about the 360 that Jeanne made last year, most of the major models had seen it at one time or another. [Those models were the main reasons I left my boards up until Jeanne passed]

I still feel that this is a Mobile bay to Biloxi storm. However, I do not think NO is in the clear. Can not really judge based on the motion over land. Will get a better idea when he clears into to the Gulf tomorrow. I am having a hard time see a hard enough turn to really get anything but the lower Keys in the southern part of the state. I think that will only be a swipe of 70-90MPH winds. I think he will clear most of the West Florida coast by 150-200 miles. I just do not see a faster turn happening.

Granted, I would still double check my plans if I was on the West Florida coast.
