No problem. I ain't squat. I'm just a denizen of the tropics like the rest of you. I'll gladly sacrifice a minor injury for a landfall, but that would have to be scrapes, cuts and bruises ONLY.

Hey Shawn
      #2542 - Mon Sep 02 2002 02:35 PM

You know my opinion on models.... Unfortunately my wife won't let me have any .... geesh

Steve, Ive been watching the GOM for the past 24 hours, northern edge has a nice curvature to it, but nothing yet to get it kick started... sure looks like it wants to get something going....

If old Eddie cross Fl, enters the GOM, develops into a major hurricane, then I'll start paying more attention to the GFDL... but this year its been a very poor performer... Hey, I certainly don't know where it going, so I end up getting abused by the models just like everyone else... they're all we got.... should be an interesting next week to say the least...

We're having a terrible storm here in the St. Pete area.

Steve could be right. Fl is starting to look like lunch meat between 2 slices of bread. : Toni

The southwest track is really starting to look likely. The question, as always, is how long he takes to start moving. The GFDL has Eddie turning into a Cat 2 or 3 before landfall, by my calculations. If the GFDL is right on target long range (very doubtful, of course) New Orleans may finally get that scary one we've always talked about. An interesting week lies ahead!

I'am not even about to try an say where eddie will end up. But believe a west or southwest track is ok to go with for now. Considering local NWS's offices seem to agree. Hopefully we will start to see a clearer picture over the next couple of days.

No Bruce haven't heard that. If they do anyting it wouldn't be until later this afternoon. Think they can go ahead and drop georgia TS warning though. Who did you hear that from Bruce?

Hey Bruce, Have't heard any thing but I have been off the computer for a while and unable to listen to TWC. The last I heard was that Ed was starting to move E -SE so it will only make since if he continues in that direction that they will at least have to extend the watch/warning area farther down the coast. Will be back on line soon again. Keep us informed. Toni

The new GFDL has Eddie entering at Palm Coast, going down I-4 and stalling around Tampa. It then has it very slowly moving up the coast as a cat 1.
That is the last thing Florida needs as we are flooded in many places.

Is the GFDL the outliar in the model systems? I am talking statistical outlyer not out and out falsehood prognosticator. Because the only pressure readings I am getting anywhere are not very low. Is there any more reliable models out there and what are they saying? I can't read them. Not educated enough.

Still looks 'mostly' stationary but perhaps a jog a bit to the ENE is evident in the last couple of frames.

Quasi-tropical day here in the Crescent City. It's been overcast and a little breezy today. Several shower bands have been moving E to W across areas of SE LA and Coastal MS. There is a nice arc just south of the coast that would represent a stregthening eyewall if this was a classified storm. This might be good to know down the line, especially if a low pressure gets on the map tomorrow as I suspect it will. We'll stay on the wet side for a couple of days, but this would probably be a SW LA/TX problem down the line. Of course the building convection may not be a diurnal or timing thing more than energy from the wave to it's S and SW entraining some potency, but it's still worth noting.

Surface winds at the buoys show that spin is evident from some of the NNE/N winds on Upper TX Coast to the E/NE winds in the north central Gulf to some of the SSW winds further south off the TX Coast.

yep we do have the toll bridge still here in Palm Coast (costs me an arm and a leg to get to work everyday!) Sure hope "Eddy" decides on another location to visit and this forecast track does not varify.........so many residents of Flagler county think we are immune to a landfall from the east.... Enjoy the hol's all

Edouard's movement and what it may mean for future intensity.
      #2558 - Mon Sep 02 2002 04:52 PM

Edouard was moving east as of 2:00 P.M. It looks to me like this could mean more of a central Florida hit than a northern one. This is simply because the loop would occur further offshore. This could also allow for intensification into a hurricane even!
Any thoughts? Off to check Melbourne NWS discussion. 5:00 PM NHC update comming soon as well.

Kevin

They seem fairly uncertain on possible local wind/tornado impacts. One thing appears certain though: plenty of rain.
