Results for 29.733906N, 84.8701W:
The eye of the storm is about 1284 miles (2067 km) away. If the system keeps moving at its current speed of 15 mph and directly towards you, it will take around 85.6 hours (3.6 days) to reach you.
Given the current windfield (175 miles from the center), tropical storm winds will be felt in 73.9 hours (3.1 days).
Now you know how close it is, find out how close it can get!
Results for 29.733906N, 84.8701W:
The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 28.0N, 83.5W or about 145.5 miles (234.1 km) from your location. This is corresponding with the 120 hour position of the 5-day forecast.
Just for 'fun'... If the storm would continue on this track, the
extrapolated closest point (X-CPA) is estimated at 29.9N, 83.8W or about 64.3 miles (103.4 km) from your location, where it can be in about 135.0 hours (be aware that this location is not part of the official forecast and is prone to large errors).
That is very interesting...!
