Re: Emily to Cross Florida Today and Tonight


In the image above, times are stamped in CDT.
Add an hour for Florida.

How to read:

This is a snapshot of both velocity (top) and precipitation (bottom). At the time of this scan there was a wide area within Emily's core of 70+ MPH winds only 1,200 to 2,000 feet above the surface, with max returns in the 80s to 90s. Given the heavy precipitation, a reduction ratio to 80% or so, at least in gusts, was likely occurring, as well as possible brief tornadoes. Once inland, this core of maximum winds dropped back down to modest tropical storm levels.
