At 5 Pm had it 15 miles ENE of Ft. Lauderdale and 25 miles SSE of Boca Raton ? Miami would be in the wrong direction

looks like its moving perhaps just south of due west... nice center showing up in the latest radar loops.. Keys would NOT want the solution to play out.... radar presentation looks so cool... you don't see this picture every day...

Looking at the radar on local news, it looks as though Miami may be the area of landfall; it's just south of Ft. Lauderdale and it's still offshore. Looks pretty healthy to me, also. Weird storm.
I totally agree. I think even maybe a hair south of Miami, just skimming the lower part of the FLA peninsula, coming out south of Everglades City, and still a lot of warm water feeding it from the south the entire trip over the peninsula.
Whoever pegged the baro at 980-985 earlier, got it almost on the nose.
So...this one is definitely going to make landfall before midnight.
I think the divergence in the models in the GOM is interesting and 2-3 days from now we're all going to be glued to flhurricane.com!

Looking straight into the eye of the storm if u look closely it has know wobble alittle bit to the NW. Dont know if u guys see that but take a look at the radar movement.

Just reviewed some of the other posts...well if it is not moving south, there is certainly a huge shift in the convection to the south over the last couple hours.
Guess since that smaller eyewall just couldn't get wrapped around the W, it all opened up.

I am seeing the same thing. It appears to be wobbling back toward the northwest, maybe wnw. The center looks alot better also. I wonder what the intensity is right now. It appears to continue to strengthen even though part of the eye is ashore. Mets what do you think about this? Also does this mean a slower trek across the state with the numerous and erractic wobbles?

Something about that eye looks strange on radar. The eye was much smaller and further east on radar an hour ago. Then it seemed to "grow" over the coast while the eastern edge stayed in the same place.
I'm wondering if what we are seeing is another dry air intrusion to the west of the real eye, obscuring the eyewall on radar and making it appear further west than it really is.

hollywood, then.. at about 6:25 pm. missed the landfall point by 25 miles, and a day early.. eh, coulda done better. the inner core definition really improved this afternoon, so it's good that is going ashore. had it come in later tonight it would have been significantly stronger. the eye should fill back up overnight. its going to rain like hell in south florida for much of the next 24 hours.. the wind should be pesky but not cause much structural damage. maybe this time tomorrow will be moving back offshore near marco island or chokoloskee as a mid-range tropical storm. it will probably take 12-24 hrs for the inner core to spin back up, so by late saturday the storm should get back to hurricane. it still looks like a monday landfall.. in the panhandle. earlier progged the al/ms border area, but even though some guidance has lingered there or shifted back, i think clark had the general location right. the models taking in near cedar key/apalachee bay are blowing up a spurious low off the east coast.
the canadian and euro are both showing a major hurricane at landfall. that was my initial though.. now seeing two globals putting it into the panhandle on monday have my blood up. i expect the intensity forecast to continue slowly rising.. my range is cat 3. higher isn't out of the question, but anything higher than cat 3 is sufficiently rare that i'm hesitant to go there.
97L is still being called 97L. the center here/convection there problem is partially remedied in that some weak convection is blowing up near the center, and the main inflow band to the south has drawn closer in. the t-rating is too weak, but that's just based on the cloud signature.... there are likely 30-35 kt winds associated with the system. like i said last night, it may never be classified as a tropical cyclone since the likes to ignore sheared fish spinner type systems.
the inverted trough south of will have to be watched for whatever piles up around it.. the disturbance to the east is a can of corn with all that convection but not even a surface trough apparent. wave behind 97L still shown to develop on some plots.. and the one behind it on others. that's for another day.

Thanks for the good browser refresh tip.
OK if you look at the Miami experimental radar loop, the last three frames, you will see a bit of reforming in the original area that was the tiny eye area where the wall tried to wrap around and got almost due west before it opened up again. It does not show up as the clear area, but is to the right of the clear area.
I don't think the larger clear area is actually the center, but the center is still a much smaller area to the E of it.
I still think it is possible to see drift as far south as Miami before landfall.

Kind of strange how she tracked at 26.2N all day then at 5pm dropped .1N to make land fall change that much so close to shore. Just goes to show I guess Its not over till its over, and isnt over yet.
Hollywood....well I guess 's A Star now...

OK so landfall right at the cty line about 15 mi to the N of where I thought...but as that dry area filled in you can clearly see it was not a large eye, the real eye is now very discernable as you can see rotation around a very small area just barely offshore.
Still looks like some continued southward movement or drift.
