Hi Breeezy
My reasoning is that once the trough starts turning the storm that it will keep turning the storm, hence NW, N, NE. I think the trough is being underplayed. Also, I have felt that this was a Florida peninsula storm from day 1. So, I am going with between the big bend and tampa. I also think the accuracy rate needs a big miss.

Hey Richie,
It's probably not a peninsula storm. Remember that the Big Bend hasn't seen > 85mph at least in 80 years. That's not an area conducive to strong landfalling storms. You've got to get farther west. My hunch is that it's a FL system, but it's gonna be a WFL system, and that's Western Panhandle if it is. I'll be outside of the sphere of influence where I'm at so this (unlike millions of other people around the web - and I certainly don't mean you as you well know) is definitely NOT a wishcast.

Thank you, Mr. Spock.
Just for fun, I throw out my take on this: I see the dry air created from itself. It's thrown out and Cuba sort of pushes it back into the intake cycle of , instead of being thrown clear.

This is causing or at least interacting with the "flat spot".
Here I am trying to predict zillions of air molecules.. What a joke!

Evening all,
just took a two-hour break and had dinner with my folks. I forbade them from putting on (think that's where I get it from), and also from sneaking away to log on their computer...feeble 56k that it is.
Was going to pack it in early tonight, and still may...got a football game on one channel, Perh-fecht stahm on NBC and , but I still had to check back in.
Great dialog...chief officer spock seems to have taken the role of clark, and rather well I might add...thanks.
Don't be surprised to wake up to a CAT V tomorrow. The is taking longer than anticipated (remember they can take up to 24 hours, though that is unusual). Once he completes that and winds up (down), look out.
I hope and pray the opposite...also...for the past three days he hasn't been playing by any established rules...lending more creedence to the theory, based in part on fact, that these monstah's create their own weather. I would think a US landfall of at least a III is likely, though, again, I hope the opposite.
I also am finally giving in to my own preconceived notions that he will do the expected and will call for NO CUBAN LANDFALL. He's danced around every piece of real estate in his way, why stop now. Only problem is once he dances around Coobah, the only other solution is south of the keys...that ain't happenin'.
Will stay on as long as the eyelids remain barely open.
Yous guys are da best!

frank,
it did look to be going farther north, but i still don't think this is gonna turn like they predict..it may hit the big bend/tampa but it ain't gonna be like what was on the drawing board

Very interesting going theory - pushing it's own dry air back into itself. Hmmm - think about that.
Also, thanks Phil, I didn't know eyewall cycles could take that long; I thought was about to explode any second now.

Looks like he is already starting to wrap up again. It also does look like is still on the WNW path.

this season certainly doesn't lend itself to climatology... especially this particular storm. Climatology is usually not the best bet when forecasting hurricanes in the GOM, at least in my opinion. I did find an interesting storm track for those who like climatology though... http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atlantic/1896/4/track.gif
cat3, and remember, this is long ago when there was not much to help in tracking these storms.

Can you explain what you mean. I think you are saying that if it dances around Cuba the Keys are in for it, but I don't understand why?

This is probably Hurricane 101 stuff, but I find it neat how at a point NW from notice how the outer rim clouds either part to the SW (or rotation side) or to the East (outflow side)
http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/huwvloop.html
I don't expect you can draw a line from EW to that "part" to get direction, but it's still an "edge" weather condition. Things are always interesting at the edge...

I sure hope you are wrong WXMAN as I am about 70 miles to the north of Tampa along the west coast. I was without power for four days after came thru , with some still waiting for the power to return

I think he means that to keep up his land skirting, would have to go between the keys and cuba, and that's not happening... until proves me wrong.

Shaggy, scoobie here...
Yep...the comment was tongue in cheek. There's no way this storm is going around Coobah and then east to the atlantic. It's just that that's the only way he could keep avoiding land. Shaggy nailed it!
Ruh-Roh!

People are getting ready here in Pensacola. Already a log jam at gas stations down town. the Terrible is a pain in the neck!
I do see a WNW and NW motion. Maybe the start of the NW turn?

Last I heard is that it has shifted west, but not out of Florida west (re: Superensemble).

Well, so far, tracking has been painful for all, and I wouldn't be one bit surprized to see that still has a few tricks up his sleeve. By the way Coop, I did see JB on FoxNews - is he going to be a regular guest there, or something - I've seen him multiple times now. Also, although it's just one frame, I believe is making a comeback.

In fact, JB's back right now.
Zoinks!!!
