The outflow boundaries mentioned earlier for Charley are actually a good thing. these originated from the preceeding band of thunderstorms that may have been inhibiting development of a true CDO.




You seem to be right about Charley; it is becomming more circular in appearance and the shear from earlier is now replaced with good upper-air divergence for the most part, and there is just another 24 hours until it is out of the "graveyard" and I can not really find anything that was not related to a front (such as TD10 in 1994) that has dissipated in the western Caribbean north of 15 degrees.

Clark, thanks for the info...

>>> According to my friend at The Weather Channel, they are only sending Jim Cantore to Bonnie. He'll be in Panama City later today. They may send others out down the line, but for now, Jim's the guy.

So, as the joke here at work went today, go about 100mi away from PC and you have the landfall spot! In all seriousness though, somewhere +/- 25mi from Panama City is looking like a fairly good bet right now. Intensity is another factor entirely, however.

Except for Floyd in '99. He was Florida's SHIELD then. O'course he came up to LI and sent Floyd to me.

I'm thinking that Charley's track will be significantly left of the NHC's forecast; I've noticed that track biases tend to be consistent. In that case, in the most radical extreme it may miss FL altogether. In any event, I think land interaction will prevent it from becoming a major hurricane for the near term.

Hi. First-time poster. Though I'd jump in with a question. Does anyone see any promise for development in the various tropical waves that have moved off Africa in the last few days?

Be careful what you wish for.

Bonnie may be nothing compared to Charley. And that's not good. Huge flareup just occurring with Charley, usually a sign of strengthening (OK, so I got that from TWC). Still, not a good sign. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hurricane Charley within 24 hours...then again, I like my crow the same way as frank p.

I've gained 20 pounds this hurricane season on the anti-Atkins crow diet.

I saw the President here in Pensacola today. It was awesome!

As for Bonnie, I think we're in for a surprise with her. As the shear continues to die down, I think we'll see some strengthening and expanding of Bonnie!

Bush and Bonnie... [Re: SirCane]
      #18722 - Tue Aug 10 2004 11:14 PM

Pres is speaking right now at the PC Marina....

Bonnie is a ball of contradictions...pressures are pretty low, structures are pretty good, but convection can't stay sustained for very long. It looks like it could collapse at any point, and it at the same time looks like it could deepen rapidly at any point as well.

This one is keeping us on our toes.

I've been sort of myopic on Bonnie, cause it is the more immediate threat. If Charlie would slow down, Katy Bar the Door....but at this rate of speed it is rather impressive that it has developed as much as it has. The more eastward track (or more correctly that the NHC bit on it) isn't something that I would cling onto just yet....wait for the Gulfstream 4 data and we will get a much better picture of what is going on.

Preparations - West Coast Florida Lag [Re: SirCane]
      #18723 - Tue Aug 10 2004 11:20 PM

A few have posted about the potential for damages along the west coast of Florida if a Cat 2 or larger hit and they are highly accurate. Not only does this area not have any experience with significant storms, most are recent transplants and have absolutely no clue.

Interestingly, few are taking any early precautions here. Home Depot closest to the beach was almost empty this eve as I went in to grab 50 bags of sand and 100 sand bags from the brand new display. Sure, might be early - but if nothing else, my child ends up with a sandbox to die for with the plywood, sand, and 2x6's I purchased if nothing happens.

Since I have weathered 2 storms here over the last 30 years, I realize few will make any moves until it is too late. And, that is why the potential for damage in this area will be so severe.

I urge folks from Ft. Meyers north to start thinking pro-actively about securing your property. Sure, in 3 days anything can happen.. but if it doesn't change and we see only 100 mph winds here, there will be much flooding and wind damage.. much, much more than folks think. These 50's homes (that mostly sit at 3 1/2' above sea level) haven't seen 100 mph winds since the 70's when many roofs were laying in the bay.

Here is to early prep (picking up a Corona knowing I am ready)!

The last three images on the GOES 12 IR show the CDO forming a round formation, moving NNW and showing signs of strength. Stock up on the beverages in Florida. Jamaica vacations may about to be ruined being next in line.
