Sure, why bother to classify it as a TD when it was YESTERDAY...just go straight to Matthew...I'm sure all Gulf Coasters are glad for the delay...people without rooves (or worse) from Ivan don't need the head's up or anything.

Whats a weekend in Florida without storm watching?

Not sure what to make of this one. Truthfully, I have not been watching really close. It has been a "don't look. Maybe it will go away" type of deal. Hoping he is just a rain maker and nothing more.

Matthew @ 5:00 [Re: Rasvar]
      #33743 - Fri Oct 08 2004 04:54 PM

Yep...straight to Matthew...

I know Ed doesn't like NHC bashing, but THEY TOTALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE!

This thing was a TD yesterday...why they had to futz around with whether it will be subtropical, baroclinic yada yada yada. Now we have a friggin' Tropical Storm in the GOM...and they tell us on a Friday Afternoon at 5:00 on a Holiday Weekend! Thanks...

At least anyone on these boards had warning.

I have been trying to tell the folks around my area, but they just think I'm a weather freak. I have been watching this thing for over a week now, telling my husband just to watch and see.

BULLETIN
TROPICAL STORM MATTHEW ADVISORY NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
4 PM CDT FRI OCT 08 2004

...THIRTEENTH TROPICAL STORM OF THE SEASON FORMS IN THE WESTERN GULF
OF MEXICO...

INTERESTS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD MONITOR THE
PROGRESS OF MATTHEW.

AT 4 PM CDT...2100Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM MATTHEW WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 24.2 NORTH... LONGITUDE 93.8 WEST OR ABOUT
260 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF BROWNSVILLE TEXAS.

MATTHEW IS MOVING TOWARD THE EAST NEAR 10 MPH. A TURN TO THE
EAST-NORTHEAST IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS




hmmmm.......that movement is kind of alarming for Florida. I had thought the storm would be moving more NNE at this point, with a NE turn later on. If the present motion continues for some time, this could get very ugly for Central Florida once again. Even a big bend landfall would bring us on the right side of the circulation....with the resulting nastiest weather. A definite major flood threat is again in the making.
