Last few hours of daylight vis loop shows a small eye emerging:
GOES 16 GeoColor Visible satellite loop
Intensity only ramps up from here next 36 hrs. Some guide\ance suggests the forward speed will slow Wednesday afternoon and a brief stall for 24 hours is possible just offshore SE of St. Pete Beach. If this plays out, a long duration storm surge approaching 12' could slosh up Tampa Bay. Add 3-5" (locally more) of rain and there will be catastrophic flooding throughout the Bay's watershed..

Storm surge warnings now extend from TB all the way down to Everglades City.
