Storm is strenghthening with a partial eyewall developing and pressure down to 990 mb. Winds will now begin to respond to pressure drop. Direction is more to the WNW and speed has increased a bit. Models are starting to diverge more. Going from west to north to northeast. Storm should start to wrap up now. The big question again today is what direction? Our local mets have basically told S. Fl. that it is all clear. Mentioning only some quickly passing showers and winds no higher than 20-25 mph tonight and Friday. This storm will have to go somewhere since there is no exit out of the gulf. We shall soon see.
