Re: Warnings for Central Florida

Quote:

Looking at this graphic from the NHC regarding the probability of tropical storm force winds affecting a specific area:

Tropical Storm Probability Graphic

If I am reading this correctly, we in inland Central Florida are running upwards of a 40% chance of experiencing tropical-strom force winds. Doesn't that warrant some sort of inland watches/warnings being posted??

Lou, This is a classic case of 'is the glass half full or half empty?' You are reading the graph correctly but it *could* be saying there is a 60% chance that you will NOT receive TS storm force.

What it does say is you need to continue your preparations and kkkeep posted.
