Now i've heard mixed reviews about Joe Bastardi from some people on this site. Whats the deal with JB? No body trusts him because he has got the forecast wrong? I guess i am asking why some people have put him down.

Not only has he gotten this forecast wrong as well as a pelifera of previous forecasts WRONG, BUT 9 out of 10 storms that go into the GOM, He paints NEW ORLEANS as his BULLSEYE for LANDFALL!! I am beginning to think he hates us down here!!

I don't see him pointing to New Orleans for the length I have been following him. And thats been since 2003 or so.

Yes, it is considered an esteemed position and while the individual forecasters have their quirks, they are all great. My favorites are Stacy Stewart (great discussions) and Jack Beven (same, plus wide ranging interest in cyclones across the world). I've met both and they are great guys...but then, they all are. Some are just more 'colorful' than others.
All are 100% dedicated to their science/craft and to saving lives and protecting property. I think they are the creme de la creme of the profession (no offense to the HQ folks and the SPC).

Anyone that has contacts want to bug and tell them that their mime types are messed up for SHTML and HTML?
Example page: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATWOAT+shtml/252120.shtml
Is displaying as text rather than being processed as HTML.

That's the way they want it -- HTML formatting around the rest of the page, with the actual advisory packages coming out as "plain" text. Nothing to change there...

Clearly not seeing what I'm seeing Clark.
And now I got back...and it's correct. Strange.
It was all HTML tags before - which meant that the server was transmitting it as text/text rather than text/html. I got the same thing this morning on some of their pages.

Latest vis sat loop shows the center is still a bit transient - rotating around a more central point. Also seeing very short-lived surface vortices. Convection flare-up East of center. Franklin is certainly dazed and confused. On another note, the dust has arrived over Florida.

Yes, and we had some huge thunderstorms here in SOFLO. Lightning flashing and thunder booming a while back, but all seems to have drifted into the Atlantic.
BTW, the sunrise this morning looked normal  Perhaps the sunset will be a little more colorful.
However, most of the dust seems to be south of us still, so the effect of the dust is not yet affecting us.

Sky has become increasingly milky/hazey throughout the day around here. Also, have slightly scratchy throat (I work outdoors all day).

Saharan dust layer is still a couple of days away; it's progress has been held up by a trough plus Franklin hanging around just off of the east coast.
Track it using the UWisconsin Saharan air layer tracking product: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/wavetrak/winds/m8g10split.html. Note that not everything in red is Saharan dust; just that travelling across the Atlantic. The rest is very dry air that the algorithm they use is picking up, such as that off of the west coast of the US.
Most of what you are seeing today is just haze, created by the stagnant air flow in association with the upper-level area of high pressure. With sinking motion and light winds throughout the atmosphere (nor any rain to help things), there's not a whole lot to move out various particulate matter in the air.

Is it just me, or is Franklin trying to wrap some of its convection around the northern side of the storm? Most of the convection is still on the east side, but he seems to keep trying to pull it together. I read earlier that the shear is expected to subside in the near future. If Franklin hangs around for another day or so where he is located now, could he possibly strengthen some more?

If you can get the NASA channel it will definately be on there. If you don't get it with your cable (or don't have cable...like me) you can watch it here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

All the Cable News Channels as well as NASA Select TV and most of the Local channels. In other words, you'll have to work at not seeing it. LOL

Well, somebody's "dust" is here. I've seen it too many times for it to just be stagnant haze. On the bright side (if you can call it that), the humidity is down about 15% from what it has been.
