There should intermediate advisories every two or three hours. May be position updates on the other hours. Discussions will only update at the normal advisory times, or if something extraordinary happens.

Just to break the monotony, there are two invest up that could be depressions in the next day or two. One all the way out at the Cape Verdes, and the other fairly far south well east of the islands. The cape verde storm will be a fish spinner if it forms that early. The other one could need watching. Could follow a similar path to .

Yeah, I'll Second Ronn. A fairly powerful feederband awoke me at 10 till five in CB. Very strong winds, frequent lightning, and sheets of rain - then, as soon as it came, it stoped 10 after... and that was the end of any wind. Pure calm, with only lightning to the north.

GM all,
I live just no. of Clearwater Beach, on the water and patiently awaiting for that jog to the east. I think I see it. While the car is packed, Any ideas on how long before we know if it might go in at Fort Myers? Tropical storm winds are suppose to start here in 1.5 hours. My surrogate home is about 10 minutes inland.

You can feel the excitement and tension for this one. Anyone in the affected area, please take photos if you can (even if you can't upload them for a few days down the road). It's downright bone-chilling in New Orleans today. The front brought us a nighttime low in the upper 60's (was 70 with winds 28mph out the NE when I woke up). Brrrrrr. We're suppposed to get back to 90 sometime mid-week. This is UNBELIEVABLE for August - about as much as a N moving Cat 2 heading for Tampa. I doubt I'll get much work in today  Be safe.

If it'll help anybody, the Accuweather radar as a grid option for a rough eyeballing of the track. Of course, eye wobbles are happening and it's general direction is north, but if anybody has access to the longer animation, output is appreciated.
By the way, Kimster, I'd say it's a good idea to move to a safe house, ten minutes inland should be safer, higher ground, but it's your call; other opinions?

What concerns me is that the News Station that was proiecting this to go up to Cedar Key now thinks this storm has lost it westward component and may strike further south around Venice.

Also, if it helps, while looking at the radar, use the island that the eye is currently over as a bearing to previous and future images.

From the 8:50 TWD:-
RADAR FROM KEY WEST SHOWS A
WELL-DEFINED EYE EMERGING INTO THE SE GULF WITH RADAR INDICATING
MID-LEVEL WINDS ABOVE 115 KT. SATELLITE SHOWS A MORE SYMMETRIC
STORM THAN 12 HOURS AGO WITH THE EYE BECOMING MORE DISTINCT AND
SLIGHTLY COLDER CLOUD TOPS.
What would 115kts in the mid-levels translate to on the surface?
