Waiting for Jeanne to commit to her forecast track and will update the map.
... providing meaningful information. When the forecast path is in question, folks can be startled very easily when you start showing them street names.
Once (if) Jeanne decides to turn due west or NNW, we'll crank up the map programs and update with each advisory.
Ok, only 30 more degrees. Last I read it was going 240 deg While your maps *could* startle some folks, I suspect it wouldn't and your maps have always provided meaningful information even when ithey had to be revised from showing from hitting Orlando to hitting Alabama, it was still valid at the time and quite meaningful.
Keep up the good work. I know the word WORK is the operative word here, but it iss valuable work, indeed.

The way it stands at this moment, you and I would not see much rain from because I would be on the south side of him and you would be on the west side. The bad part of that is the people who got the 30+ inches of rain from Allison would see alot of rain.

What a day. Unreal day. Unreal season.
Seems to be the season that us trackers have wished for .. forever. Not withstanding wishing killer storms hadn't recurved just off shore and only seen their waves...
Truth is its a bigger year for Haiti than many realize because if you put together the deaths from the storm that wasn't named and Jeanne... they have had untold horrors and a massive death toll.
Lastly.. annoys me that the new wave was never designated but was obviously the stronger entity in the Lisa battle and yet it didnt have a name.
Like the early Hispanola disaster. No name but really strong... won't complain too much because am happy about being honest and moving on with the reality of a once in a century or two storm.
Now what with Jeanne...still hangs in the balance.
as for Phil...well you are a good man Charlie Brown!

Right when I was going to press the sheets early tonight! Now I have to wait for the 11pm advisory to see if the path shifts significantly to follow the models, which have had a "right bias" for at least the last 4 storms.
Crap- If the secret lab gets hit again, I'm going to sacrifice a beannie baby at sunset in Melbourne. Maybe that would do it...
Maybe we will have new maps, tonight.

Oh boy. It is the Tivo pattern!!! Except Jeanne will miss the day by a couple. At least I can Tivo the wall to wall hurricane coverage if she does come.
All I can do is laugh about it. Only way to keep my sanity right now.

Hurricanes are now in an Atlantic holding pattern awaiting clearance for Florida. It almost does look like this. See attachment.

Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.

Yup.... especially if he creeps along on Friday and Saturday... He's forecast to move only 30-40 miles in 24 hours!
Fortunately, I got only 2" of rain during TS Allison... that would be just about perfect with ...

Dunno about the beannie baby, but between you and rabbits voodoo hex, maybe we could conviince Jeanne to go back out fisshing. I do hope, in the meantime, you do decide to update a map for her current (or 11pm) forecast. Shoot, if the track doesn't change, it is a 'commitment' and if it gets closer, it is a threat. Right? To quote a friend who makes great hurricane maps "Crap - now I have to wait up till 11 to see who is going to blow on me and how hard will it be?".... Hmmmm, somehow that didn't sound quite right....but you know what I mean.

I was hoping to find a slightly used generator at a garage sale this weekend. I guess I'll have to wait a couple more weeks.
Looking for some more consistent model trends by morning. I don't think I have enough energy to stay up until 11pm. Not surprised that she's coming back our way, though I was hopeful of a fish-spinner for a day or so.

LOL
It would be a "collectable" beannie baby. Limited production and "retired" beannies have the greatest affect on the hurricane gods.
