I don't see him staying there after tonight though. He is the "eye" man. I just hope I don't see him 1/2 mile from my house again. You've gotta love JC, but you just don't like seeing him near your house.
I thought that too, but remember he was in FWB during . I remember my stomach dropping when I saw him there since my other house is there.

I almost fell out of my chair when I read that the hurricane force winds extend out 70 miles!!! So would that be 140 miles from the center or what? That's almost double what it was at 5pm.
Colleen, not exactly sure what you were referring to with the 140 miles, but yes it's gone from 45/150(hurr/t.s.) at 5pm to 70/205 at 11pm. She's gotten much larger very quickly that's for sure.

HURRICANE LOCAL STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1055 PM EDT FRI SEP 24 2004
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST STARTING EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON OVER MARTIN AND SAINT LUCIE COUNTIES...AND THEN SPREAD NORTH ALONG THE COAST AND WEST INTO THE INTERIOR.
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE COAST OVER MARTIN AND SAINT LUCIE COUNTIES IN THE EVENING SATURDAY.
...STORM SURGE FLOOD AND STORM TIDE IMPACTS...
THE SURGE THREAT ASSOCIATED WITH JEANNE IS EXTREME NEAR AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE LANDFALL LOCATION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ROUGH POUNDING SURF...RIP CURRENTS AND BEACH EROSION ARE ALREADY OCCURRING DUE TO STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH OF JEANNE.
RESIDENTS SHOULD ANTICIPATE A STORM SURGE OF 6 TO 8 FEET DEPENDING ON THE LOCAL TIDE DURING LANDFALL. THE GREATEST SURGE WILL OCCUR AROUND 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING WHEN LOCAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES WILL BE RUNNING NEAR 4 FEET. THIS PLUS THE STORM SURGE COULD PRODUCE A BEACH FRONT SURGE NEAR 10 FEET. THE STORM SURGE EFFECTS WILL BE COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THE DUNES ARE IN A HIGHLY WEAKENED STATE.
MANY BEACHFRONT PROPERTIES HAVE ALREADY SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND EROSION...MAKING THEM VERY VULNERABLE TO FURTHER DAMAGE.
INUNDATION OF THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL ZONE BY SEA WATER IS POSSIBLE WITH SURGE AND WAVES BREACHING THE WEAKENED DUNES. NEAR SHORE ROADWAYS AND STRUCTURES ARE AT RISK. PROPERTIES AROUND INLETS AND ADJACENT CANALS WILL ALSO BE VULNERABLE TO INUNDATION AS WATER BACKS UP...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDES.

That's the truth.
Here's the website for the NDBC station at Settlement Point in the Bahamas. Jeanne will pass over, or very near, this spot.

Jeanne pulling a ? What does that mean ? Seems to me like landfall will take place somewhere between Jupiter and Melbourne .. Could be as far south as WPB., but I think she is at 26.5 and West Palm is at 27, so that means she doesnt have much wiggle room. Think we will see a more northward component later tommorow, once she crosses 77 or so.. Unless she picks up speed, which she could do..

I just looked at those WV loops and I have a question: is that H that was keeping Jeanne on that Westward course lifting north a little bit or is that wishful thinking on my part? First I see it moving a little to the west, then I see something else coming down from the north.
Please, am I seeing things or what?

Sorry, Toho...I meant intensity wise, not track wise. went from a 1 to a 4 in 5 hours (or less). I was referring to her bombing out just before making landfall.

2AM update in. Forward speed increased to 14mph, windspeed at 105mph, pressure at 962mb.
What's up with all the loops? They stop about 4 frames from the end.

At 2 am EDT...0600z...the large eye of Hurricane Jeanne was located
near latitude 26.5 north...longitude 75.6 west or about 100
miles...160 km...east of Great Abaco Island in the northwestern
Bahamas. This is also about 270 miles...435 km...east of the
Southeast Florida coast.
Jeanne is now moving toward the west near 14 mph...23 km/hr...and
this general motion is expected to continue during the next 12 to
24 hours. On this track...the core of Jeanne will be moving across
the northwestern Bahamas later today.
Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate
maximum sustained winds are now near 105 mph...170 km/hr...with
higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next
24 hours...and Jeanne could become a major hurricane later today.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles...110 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 205 miles...335 km...mainly to the northeast of the center.
The latest minimum central pressure reported by the hurricane hunter
is 962 mb...28.41 inches.
yay. i can go to sleep now ... considering setting my alarm for 5am .....

OK.. I am not sure if it can bomb like .. Guess it depends on forward speed, seems to be a little dry air still around her. Guess we will find out is not good at intensity either.. I am also seeing what you mentioned in the wv loop. Not sure what that is, but it does look like the ridge is pulling up some, or it could be the interaction with Jeanne. I am no expert with these things, but I see what you see, if that helps.

Colleen, I also saw what you were noting on the WV loop. I will say that I had seen something similar this afternoon, but Jeanne kept on chugging west. I'm more inclined to believe that it's due to Jeanne and the ridge's interaction, rather than the ridge pulling out. It still looks pretty strong to the west and north of her.

Winds do in fact extend up to 70 miles from the center.
Because we're dealing with a circle - that means...
(1/2 diameter or radius times pi = area)
20^2*pi = ~1250 sq mi area
35^2*pi = ~3850 sq mi area
Indeed - Colleen is wrong - it's not twice as large an area - it's more than three times the area...
Even though the windfield is not a perfect circle, the area is going to be most accurately represented by that good ol' fashion formula.
Pity I couldn't use HTML - then I'd be able to make that forumla look better
Up for water - off to bed now.
See you guys on the other side.
Bah - realized too late that colleen is further right...
revised though...
40^2*pi = ~5000 sq mi
70^2*pi = ~15000 sq mi
Still the same 3x increase - only a much larger area.

I believe the satellites go down for a period of time during the night. Don't know for how long, or if they all go down, but I do know they go down and that's why the last few frames have nothing new on them.

Ah, probably due to the position of the satellite in relation to the Earth or some such nonsense
Looks like, according to this website, that there aren't any sats taking readings/footage of the east coast.

They go down every night for what is called the "eclipse" which is caused by shut-down to conserve batteries during the night. Unfortunately this period is longer when near an equinox, which just happened. The period is between roughly 345Z and 645z (or 1145p EDT till 245 EDT).

Thank you for answering my question .... I had a feeling that's what it was, but I wanted to be sure and it's always better to get other people's input.
