I agree... but I thought the way that the dicussion was written Stewart said their forecasted track was to the right of the model guidance so I took that to mean that they had already factored that in. 5pm should be interesting

Driving back from Nashville, I stuck my arm out at 90 MPH...and tried to hold it...no problem...but it was really something...then I thought about what 160 might be like...woulda tore my arm OFF...
In answer to LI Phil's question..if it goes east, I will not worry much...the marina and my boat can handle cat 1-2 storms. However...
from mid cat 3 and above, the exponential energy and devastation makes the prudent person bid a farewell, and leave.
I would stay in a well built house during a 3...but anything greater than that is a real test of your nerves....plus..I haven't experienced any hurricane past a strong 3...

At 12:15 pm EDT it looks like Hurricane is finally on a NW track that will probably graze the western end of Cuba.
What do I think? No change here. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only Meteorologist that does not buy the westward track between New Orleans and Pensacola. I still predict a landfall between Apalachicola and Cedar Key. And if you read the 11:00 am EDT /TPC forecast discussion on you can see that they realize a much further east landfall track is still possible.

The , UKMET, and were run at 8am this morning. The BAMM was run at 2pm this afternoon.The is from 8pm last night and it has consistently been west. Thats not that old.for any of them except maybe the . i believe Jason has said he feels it is coming up to his area basically. I hope he's wrong because I have family there but i sure don't want to see this hit anyone. Quote:
One thing to remember as you look at 12Z model data. DON'T. The models initialized with a WNW motion, but he made the turn to the NW or NNW about the time of the runs, so the models are all a bit (or a lot) too far west right now. --------------------

I'm not disagreeing with the landfall, I'm merely saying that the models on weather underground are inaccurate since they were run with the wrong initial motion. I understand your worry, I have family in Mobile so I'm a bit worried as well, but I'm just waiting for the 5pm update to see their take on it.

I agree the gulf is going to get some awesome surf from this thing. I have friends who are driving over there (west coast) tomorrow to get some of it. It's kinda funny though ...when I was younger all I cared about was the surf but now, while I still want the waves from them, it's kinda hard to get fired up about something that is going to potentially screw alot of people up especially family...just comes with getting older i guess.

Fletch,
Welcome to the boards...however, before making a statement like you just made, it might behoove you to go back and read some of the older material.
This board is professionally run, and most people are here to exchange information. With a very few notable exceptions , no one ever claims to be an expert, especially the several mets who post here.
Enjoy the forums and we welcome your constructive input!
Cheers
Sorry. Certainly didn't intend on trashing the forum. I have been reading this forum through the 04 season. I think you guys do a great job monitoring and editing when nec. For the most part, the information here is exc. The fact that so many true experts participate, really says something. My statement was meant to say "wait for a trend". We all spend "too" much of our time looking at loops and data. Sometimes, when the storms get close, our emotions confuse our eyes and brains. Keep up the good work!!

I still think will miss the peninsula, but not by much--it now appears by looking at satellite and WV images that the landfall could be just west of Cedar Key
as for not-so-soon-to-be Jeanne (if it isnt sheared to a wave before strengthening), it will not exceed Cat I if it hits the state at all

THE ANGLE IS CLOSER TO 320-325 FOR ABOUT HOURS...but the dir in the 5pm will remain NW...if that dir continues until 8p. then we can expect a change. What's significant about it is that it would show stronger than predicted influences of weather systems to its north and west.
Fletch if you want to rely only on the that is very good advice, nobody here is attempting to replace the . But we are engaging in some educated speculation. When you have hung around this board for 4-5 years as I have you'll see that some of the opinions expressed here actually precede what actually goes public with by several hours, not because it's not occurring and they don't see it but because they have public responsibilities that we here don't have. This is a private board and we engage in private discussion for the edification and entertainment of the users.

I gotta say this. Panic is never productive and that is what I have seen this season, PANIC. I wrote "Disaster Planning for Country Property" in conjunction with the American Red Cross and EOC's across the state after Andrew and I know what I'm talking about. I'm a horse trainer and a few days ago I was getting calls from people I didn't even know who were bouncing off the walls. Where can I take my horses? Where can I borrow a horse trailer, etc, etc. For instance, a friend left for Tallahassee on Thursday with his prize APHA stallion. Wonder where he is now?! We all need to have a DISASTER PLAN prepared every spring. And we need to keep our heads. That doesn't mean we disrespect these storms, far from it. But three days ahead of the storm is not the time to try to accomplish what we should have done in May. It means we use our heads and don't run around like a bunch of cockroaches when somebody turns on the light. Am I sick of implementing my disaster plan? You bet. But Charlie went right over my head as a Cat 4 and 16 horses and I are alive and unhurt. Do I want to go thru that kind of experience again? Not in this life. But we simply must learn, for example, that storm shutters are not something to think about aquiring in August with a Cat 5 bearing down on us. They should be cut and ready to hang. I'm not trying to scold anyone, only to trying to get folks (like me) who choose to live were they are vulnerable to these storms to understand they are a fact of life and we have to BE PREPARED.

I was reading the comments all day and had to take a break. Can you tell me where we stand now? I am just really worried for the people in the keys. I have friends there and also in Tampa. This thing could do anyting right now. Is Cuba going to get hit?
