the size of the storm alone could be the reason to expand the watches, etc east. The storm grew immensely today and that will cause greater impact further east regardless of landfall. I think?




Agreed, and that may be the sole reason for extending the warning and puting the watch and t.s. warning up in Florida at this point in time. I would expect further changes at the 4am advisory package, too, if current intensification and movement trend continues. It's going to be a long day tomorrow, watching, waiting, and praying.

Pressure drop down to 939. Basically storm is now due south of FWB.
