If you want only the facts go to the site. The value of this site is the infomed opinions of many are posted here. The reader must realize that these folks are providing real time thoughts based on their level of expertise. I, for one appreciate all who post (even you) and do not want only "the facts" -

THIS SITE IS LIKE FOX NEWS : WE REPORT WHAT WE THINK WE SEE, YOU DECIDE WHAT TO BELIEVE.
LOTS OF WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE PRECEDES BY HOURS SOMETIMES WHAT THE EVENTUALLY PUBLISHES...THEY SEE IT TOO BUT BEING CAUTIOUS DON'T PUBLICALLY DISCUSS IT. MANY HERE ARE SKILLFUL ENOUGH TO PREDICT THE SHORT TERM WITH SOME ACCURACY.
FOR EXAMPLE THE PUBLICALLY IS DISCUSSING THE RIDGE COMING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE STORM...HENCE THEY ARE KEEPING IT IN A LAND FALL UNFORTNATELY RIGHT OVER THE MARTIN ST.LUCIE COUNTY AREA...
WHAT WE KNOW IS AS THAT RIDGE EMERGES AND MOVES EASTWARD IT WILL BLOCK THE NORTHWARD PATH OF THE STORM...NOBODY EXCEPT THE SCIENTISTS CAN SAY HOW MUCH THIS INFLUENCE WILL LIKELY BE...BUT VISUALLY NOW THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT THE STORM WILL DEVIATE FROM THE OFFICIAL TRAC.
IT IS AS FOOLISH TO WISHCAST THAT THE STORM WILL DEVIATE TOTALLY AWAY FROM THE STATE AS IT IS TO SPECULATE THAT IT WILL RESULT IN THE WORST. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HERE WRITES SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE DON'T CRITICISE THAT PERSON OR DEMEAN THE PERSON'S ABILITY FOR THAT ALONE. THEY MAY BE RIGHT.
THIS SITE IS FOR FUN..AND OFTEN GOOD INFORMATION...USE IT IN THAT SPIRIT AND ENJOY,OR NOT AS YOU WISH.

When they slow down, they change direction. As indicated by the National Hurricane Center, and anyone in the know, to guess on the strength of a hurricane is just that...a guess. They still don't understand enough about hurricanes to "see" why and when and how a hurricane jumps from cat 3 to 5.
So...anyone who thinks this weakening trend means we are out of the woods...better think again. I remember when hurricane Frederic rambled through the Caribbean..hitting all the land it could...and wobbled into the gulf as a tropical storm. Well, it finished as a strong 3 into Mobile, in 1979.
This storm is stalling a bit, and will enter warmer waters. The real interesting thing we can be sure of...is that we can't be sure of anything.
I have seen them die out at this stage, and restrengthen....
so if someone posts that they think it will get back to a cat 5, and others are offended...then those offended need to watch Mary Poppins or something like that....
the reality, is that anything is possible, and this is a forum designed for hobbiests...who's opinions are varied and worth what all of our opinions are....next to nothing...
In all of this, if we all learn more about these fascinating systems...well, then, that is the point. For by learning more, we then can take wiser action....(like evacuating half of Florida?)

Agent B: Do you have any reason to believe that there is a possiblity that flager and daytona beaches may lift the evacuation status any time today? Thanks Tammy
No, because they don't want a large number of people who have already left trying to get back to their homes and further snarling traffic. Also, still has not made landfall so her course is still very much uncertain at this point in time. I remember reading on this site a while back that one thing to watch is to how the models "trended" from run to run. For a few days they seemed to track north in the morning, south in the afternoon with each run. For the past few runs most have forecasted landfall from Melbourne south, with just a few still showing an almost due north movement(near impossible at this point IMHO). I just don't seen any places from South Florida all the way up to Flagler lifting or modifying evacuation orders 1)because of the huge problems it would cause on the roadways and 2)because still has not made landfall. Hope that helps some.

What are the chances that they order more evacuations up the coast (St johns or Duval County)?

Anyone with a brain will know that this forum is for those who wish to sort thru data and form a better concept of what is occuring than is provided to the general public. I have found it priceless. And every 'general public' advisory has followed the consensus here pretty closely. Owning a home here and being concerned about it from Dallas it is one thing, finding yourself in the crosshairs is another thing entirely. These guys deserve better, much better, than your critisism.

i for one like to hear these peoples forecast and reasoning for them and hope they continue doing so. if you want the facts read the newspaper tomorrow. its not wrong because it is after the fact. btw before you belittle all "our mets and professionals" at least have your facts right. they have been posting here for quite some time and their forecasts have some merit to them. they have been right alot more than wrong.

I second that !!! Apparantly GlasserinD doesn't understand that the internet is like his TV......... if he doesn't like what he is seeing, he can turn the channel or just not watch at all ! If he's already read it and doesn't like it, someone needs to tell him what the delete key if for ! Personally, I found this site to be nothing less than invaluable for the past several years !!

As of right now, there does not appear to be any reason to call for any additional evacuations. However, with the storm slowing and possibly stalling, anything is possible right now. The one saving grace in this is that the slow motion assures time to make decisions.

wife told me said they were moving the warnings farther north. also said JAX would make decesion on evactions tomorrow. this was probably expected as it isn't moving fast and still doesn't look to be going as far west as expected
