Wow, so now it's going West?
Certainly got it's strength back as well.
Poor Jamaica. It's just now really moving off of station. They just got creamed.

Mike...you're not allowed to have a life  . You can't leave the site for a second.
One good thing about the site going down was that I was able to check out a whole bunch of other stuff, read up on all the models, etc.
Steve, have you seen the canadian? It's the westerly outlier of course, but it also puts you in the bullseye.
The models have all shifted westward, so now it looks as though JK, co-mod Coop & Andy1Tom might need to think about heading to GA.
Accuweather has a strange cone, the easternmost part of it has little old moi as an end target. Let's stay away from that one, shall we?
CAT V and still strengthening? Good lord, Grand Cayman had better have all their planes in the air NOW with residents aboard. Hope the cruise ships bolted town...
Anyhoo...glad the site is back up. I was worried I'd have to watch two russian women smack a little yellow sphere around all night...
Peace, and pray for Grand Cayman!

While the Atlantic trough continues to sag (nearly to Yucatan!) the flip side is there's not much left of it East of Florida! I guess the path of least resistance is towards the West, but I'm getting concerned about when it turns North. I guess a huge loop back to Florida from the central GOM would be dumb, but still...
That SE trough is really reinforced at the moment. I'm still not sure how is going to interact with that.

The trough is very evident today, as it brings clouds and an overcast but dry weather here in Long Island. The trough will pick up later in the forecast period I think and bringing huge amounts of rain to the Applachian moutain area, and people in New york and pennslyania. The main concern for most people is where will it landfall, well right now it seems as though it will slam into the Florida Panhandle but my thinking is more west for this reason. The ridge in the east is going to build because of the jet once again entering the United States, this will cause to stay on it's wnw to nw course, until the trough starts acting upon it and grabing it but by then it will have already caused it's devastation. So, anyone in the area from New Orleans to about Tampa now seems that will have a major hurricane make landfall, but nothing is certain yet

On several of the tv stations here they were saying that the forecasts were all based on the assumption that would beat the trough currently moving down to the Gulf. More to the point, they said it was a race with respect to what arrived in the GOM first, the trough or . If the trough gets here first, the forecast shifts back to the right, if not, it stays where it is. Any thoughts on what is "winning"? I'm a little concerned that doesn't seem to be in any hurry at the moment. I don't like it when I hear things like it's a race, and steering currents are weak once past Cuba. That usually doesn't bode well for last minute preparations (still remembering 's quick turn at the last minute). Don't get me wrong, we have all our supplies, etc, but...I don't like the idea of a last minute panic if it heads our way.

I wanted to know how far west are you guys talking about. It's been awhile since I've had a chance to look here today. I live in Tallahassee and the seems to be just left of me. Why is it that it looses so much strength after passing Cuba on it's way to the Panhandle. Will it make landfall closer to Tallahassee or Pensacola?
