Re: Fay Continued, Hurricane Watches Extended Northward

Agree, she looks to be really trying to pull it together.

It's really important people not confuse Fay with a fully formed Hurricane. Until she wraps her convection will be messy, lopsided and affect a larger area than normally a hurricane might. She is harder to predict because of this and the NHC has been very on the money so far which is good.

An amazing tool.

Is it possible the frontal boundary in the Gulf will absorb the ULL?

Is that possible I wonder.

Far away bands are moving into the area. Ironically if this was a very organized storm there would be less of Florida impacted.
