J. Bastardi, after mounds of explaination still allows for the possibility that Eddy will circle back around thursday and cross central Florida, moving into the Gulf and then possibly forming into a hurricane. With all these details in the science of weather forecasting I find it amazing that my dear old dad could tell me what was gonna happen from his aching back.

A surprise for many as Edouard gets stronger as shear is more weak and the center is less exposed.

I hope the 's forecast track is correct, although I could stand for the intensity to be less than TS when it hits the coast. I was at my parents' yesterday, which is on one of the lakes in central Florida, near Melrose (~20 miles east of Gainesville). Their lake level needs to rise at least five feet to get the water back to the ends of the docks, and another six or so feet above that would be nice. You drive over a bridge and there are signs on it that say, "No Diving"...which is a good idea, considering that the nearest water is hundreds of yards away. Although the lake level there has risen in the past month, it still wouldn't hurt to have a few storms come though and help out. That area of the state is also where some of the aquifers get filled, so their getting a good soaking there will help more than just the locals.
Anyway, I guess it's just sit and see what Eduoard decides to do. Pressure at last report was still 1005, so he's not currently thinking about serious intensification. Hopefully if the westerly flow lets up and permits Ed to start moving towards the coast, he won't have time to get better organized before hitting land.

Yes, nice of the to report that the pressure's dropped to 1002 while I'm in the middle of typing a message saying it was last reported at 1005. You know, they need to coordinate these things better...

I'm not liking the latest run of the . Especially since it usually overintensifies a system but is already under currents. I have to say that this forecast seems reasonable, sans intensity forecast. I guess it is possible for a Cat 1 before it hits Florida, especially with the current surprise. Central Florida can do witthout anything that strong. Saturated ground conditions would make for a lot more falling tress then usual, not too mention flooding in areas already doing bad. I'm hoping it keeps up in North Central Florida becuase they need the rain. However, The forecast keeps slipping south. :P

If the is right this could be a major major event riding the Gulf Coast all the way to SE TX, SW LA. Wow what a difference a day makes. By the way I believe we ave a depression forming south of vermillion Bay.
