Re: Charley

Tampa Bay's ABC Station just showed the track of Charley on our doorstep on Saturday morning as a possible Cat 2. Dennis Phillips is the met and he is good. He also pointed out that the model runs (all 5) have Charley hitting somewhere along the west coast of Florida. I do not know if those model runs are from the 5pm advisory or the 11pm advisory but it does look a lot closer to Tampa than it did at 5pm. THAT BEING SAID:

He also mentioned that there are different scenarios (i.e., goes over the middle of Cuba, etc) that would change the track. Then he said if this track is still the same tomorrow, we may see Hurricane Watches/Warnings up for the Central Gulf Coast of Florida.

Oh...Dennis Phillips is not one to overreact and he is probably one of the most dependable mets in our area.
