Re: Tropical Storm Fay Approaching Florida from the South

Ed Rappaport has been on Miami TV all evening. Says there are mixed signals. Radar looks like it wrapped a bit and has more on all sides but he also says it looks like it's falling apart. And, there are multiple vortexes (has always had those) not sure what the big difference is now vs the way it has always been.

Also seems several models have confirmed the GFS loop out and in.

Figures that it will continue to be hard to forecast.

Hasn't been much of a wind event except for squalls. Still looks to me like it's barely moving or maybe it will relocate.

Rain is very cold, feels more like a cold front that a tropical storm in ways Does that mean anything? I don't know but surprised me.
