Is the current HypeScale not too low? [Re: danielw]
      #94384 - Thu Jun 06 2013 12:22 AM

The current HypeScale is at 2.1 - why is that the case? Do current conditions which include "Potential Depression/Tropical Storm US land impact" not warrant a 4+ HypeScale? Does that indicate that Andrea is really weak or are we being too slow to start paying attention to what is happening?

Cheers!

Hypescale is fairly unscientific and measures media response more than anything.

Strong cells are over the Dry Tortugas west of the Keys, and another strong rain band is approaching Venice on the west coast of Florida tonight. Most of the bad stuff is still offshore at the moment, though.

I'll be out working in this for the next couple of nights. I hope nothing too strong blows through, I'm not sure how much our guard shack can take.

The Keys are getting it tonight, tornado near 7 Mile bridge, and another approaching Marathon.

Initial pass from RECON.
Looks like the estimated Center has moved about 45 miles due north. Or just a hair east of due north.

I'm waiting on the NE to SW pass about 90 minutes from now to confirm Center location.

Center Dropsonde location. Estimated center~danielw
Coordinates: 26.7N 86.2W
Location: 246 miles (396 km) to the WSW (249°) from Tampa, FL, USA.

Dual Pol allows us to look at what are called rotational/dual velocity couplets. There were two TVS - tornadic vortex signatures. If you have the grlevelx radar software you can view even the debris balls.

Re: Landfall [Re: danielw]
      #94397 - Thu Jun 06 2013 11:33 AM

Current Sat. trends seem to indicate that the direction will take Andrea over Pasco/Hernando counties as point of initial land fall and that the dominant direction is more ENE than NE. Also, as the day dawns the squall line approaching the coast line is intensifying and increasing in coverage. Some significant impact can be expected well removed from the center as is usual in fledgling storms such as this.

Yeah it took a wobble that direction...still think it will be up closer to Citrus or Levi but wouldn't shock me if it's down 1 county. Not alot of wind in the overall rain mass..maybe 10-15mph...general rainstorm...almost no lightning..very typical for a warm core system. Though winds will pick up as Andrea moves over the coast by later in the afternoon..expect winds to increase 20-30mph and will be around 40-50 near and to the right of her landfall. Still main threat is Tornados and Flooding. SS should only be 2ft but parts of Tampa's LL areas might get overflow from the bay...and up the coast
