At the risk of being repetitive, who has the link to the GOM buoys.....lost mine in the last computer crash!
Thanks,

Danny-
The CoC ashore in 6 hr, or the eye wall?
*<Yawn> 'mornin' all. Thought I'd check in- we had a band come thru central Sarasota that rattled the windows about 15 minutes ago.

Thanks Superfly.
I thought I was seeing things there for a moment.
Look at the temp. and dew point changes in the area of the 130kt reading.

130kts winds found at flight level which is equal to 135MPH surface. Latest vortex 955mb. This is in the SE quad so if the Keys experience the eyewall...
Wow, didn't expect that.
The windfield from this storm is going to be very uneven from location to location.
I just switched from long range to short range on the Key West radar and was wondering the same thing myself. They're about to get the strong rainband but beyond that you can see the eyewall, only it is hard for me to tell if the storm is moving more nly, and where that eyewall will be in relation to the keys.
Looks from the recon though that she is done intensifying.
I can't stay up any more; I'm so exhausted.
I'm guessing that if the Keys get hit with a high surge it will be spectacularly documented by the TV reporters down there (hopefully they've moved everything off the truck and into the third floor of some sturdy building!).
By the time I get going tomorrow I will come back to see offshore; then starts the concern for New England.
Is there anyone here who doesn't have hurricane burnout by now?

Center of Circulation.
I'll try the math on the Eyewall.
With the new wind speed readings it won't make much difference..

Observed track is deviating north of the track in a significant way now.
NHC track vs. observed
If this trend persists looks like CoC crosses Bonita Beach.

They're all out of commission. The closest are Dry Tortugas and Key West, neither of which report wave info.

Just remember NOAA; they have an excellent site map.

That wind reading may not be considered representative, since the eyewall in that area of the storm has recently developed a kink in it (on radar, which may be temporary), indicating the possibility of a meso-vortex. I guess we'll find out what thinks in the next advisory.

Margie, I have thought this thing was done intensifying on at least three different occasions, but it always seems to start back up again. It does seem that the SSW eyewall is getting very thin on radar.

Okay using 30nm as the radius of the EYE.
109nm-30nm=79nm to go For The EyeWall
At the current speed of 20.6mph that gives 4.4hours.
Added to the last Vortex. This gives a rough estimate of 1018Z or 618AM EDT...Daylight?
This is hypothetical again...just rough arithmetic.
Thanks for link to the course vs Present course.
You people are great. And I'm starting to drag a bit.

The eye is so large it extends practially from Marco to Key West.
Like has been emphasizing, the exact location of landfall is kind of a moot point. This is the same problem everyone had with ...thinking smaller, because the eye was so large it was hard to reconcile with previous hurricane experiences. Of course was a monster, this one is not, but Kat's eye was only around 30nm wide, is twice that.

I am seeing 'check digits' in the dew point readings from the aircraft in right now.
Not all of the readings, but quite a few.
Apparently it throws a "check digits" when the temperature and dew point are the same.
