Fay should halt her northward movement in the next 6-12 hrs then meander for a day or so before moving west due to the building ridge now entering the Ohio Valley tonight and into the Mid Atlantic and NorthEast on Weds. How strong the ridge gets will determine if Fay moves W or just north (or south) of west.
Currently Fays center is just south of the dry air pocket around Melbourne and meandering NNE again and should come off the coast near Melbourne beach in a few hours.. Then the question is (when she gets to 28.5-29N) how far off the coast will she be? 10miles? 50 miles? It will make a difference in how strong she gets. Then since the ridge is building in Weds-Thurs how much time over the water does she have and direction she takes. She does have a 60% chance of making it to the GOM off of Hernado-Citrus county by Friday. Also I give it the same amount of making it to a 80mph hurricane if she stays offshore Brevard at least 25miles until Thursday night.

Well i think fay is crossing US-1 right now, just south of Malabar, Fl. She is so close to the Atlantic now... based on obs from wx stations and radar... i say she will officially hit the water in less than a hour. i would say she's at about N 28.04108 W 80.58197 at 2pm EDT... just about 3-5 miles from the coast on her current track. for the center of circulation. noticing feeder bands starting to flare up on the SE side of coc, out over the water... storms tops are increasing per MLB radar. and a stronger band is showing up on her SE side hugging the coast now...
this is a big help and locating certer of Fay

try this web site.. using the most famous map system in the world...GOOGLE MAPS 
shouldn't take but a few mins to get use too... then when you mark with a spot on the map.. you can find the distance to you next point.

Well i say she's entering the Atlantic as we speak... right over Melbourne Beach. Part of the center of circulation is over the water now. Today is going to be a long day to see how much time she has to come back up in strength... Impressive she only went up to 992mb... i just saw three wx stations go that low in the MLB beach area, so i pretty sure thats what she is holding at..... by the way she very close to the MLB nexrad.. and the data is pretty good!
time about 1:40am CDT

the still has Fay going back into the Gulf and strengthening as she heads west, but may have her a bit strong before crossing florida to the west..looks like Fay just does not want to go over the Atlantic and is hugging the coast

Maybe Fay's afraid to go back in the water...seems to be a land-seeking storm.
Significant flooding in the Treasure Coast (Vero, Ft. Pierce, St. Lucie) area. Real challenge getting to work on Hutchinson Island this morning.

1960:
"The most notable storm of the season was Hurricane Donna, which reached Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and was the longest-lasting major hurricane in the history of the Atlantic basin. It was the worst storm to strike Florida in ten years, causing six direct deaths, and causing $387 million in damage ($2.4 billion in 2000 dollars).
Also, Ethel reached Category 5 strength very briefly before falling apart prior to landfall in Mississippi. This marks the first of only four seasons that two or more Category 5 hurricanes were officially recorded (the others being the 1961, 2005 and 2007 seasons); it remains the only season with two consecutive Category 5 hurricanes."

After Donna, Florence was a spring shower for Florida. ;}

The has been fairly consistent with her track east to west across FL though a tad further north than her current location. If she is stalling and she makes the turn to the west sooner, all bets are off as to her potential restrengthening which as we all know is more an art and not a science.

Last couple hours radar suggests if there has been any movement, it's a slight jog due east. I've seen no evidence of movement to the north unless it is so little it appears stationary.. I think it's time to begin looking at what the model consensus is saying; the Gulf of Mexico; any thoughts?
