Re: Movement

Quote:

The CDO is aligned with the circulation center, the bands are there, the elliptical elongation east to west is going away. The traces of dry air between the bands are starting to disappear. Temperatures in the water are high, shear is low. Forward movement is slowing. Tomorrow is going to be highly interesting. I'd prepare for a category 2 tomorrow, even if it doesn't make it that high. Listen to local media and stay updated if you are in Palm Beach or Broward counties.

I'm supposed to be doing work in Lee county Friday through saturday on the west coast, so believe me I'm watching this very close.




I manage a small fleet of drivers who work in Lee and Collier County, so I'm in the same boat. If you're thinking about a Cat 2 possibly at the intial landfall, should I prep for a Cat 1 on the West Coast in Lee and Collier? My concern is it stalls out or that it moves NW after the intial landfall. The models are everywhere and don't seem to be much help, or is that my scientific ignorance on this subject showing?
