Sunny and beautiful here in Mobile !! Personally, I'm thinking P'cola and east is going to get the worst of it, and we're just going to get a little rain.

I am at work in Clearwater, FL and it is quite windy and rainy. Probably make for a nasty commute home(Palm Harbor). I love to read all the good posts and consider it a must to check in all during the day. I can't even hardly get any work done. It is just now pouring buckets of rain as I'm writing.

Well i am still sticking to what i said when this thing first became classified - landfall near or just east of Mobile, AL, with sustained winds of 70 - 80 mph - strong TS / weak Cat 1.
Satellite imagery seems to show that she really is trying to get herself together, but the core remains very disorganised, with multiple LLC's still evident on the visible imagery. If only the core consolidated we could see this get stronger, stronger than currently forecast. Expect to see official Hurricane Warnings up within the next 6 to 12 hours.

At 5:00 pm EDT T.S. is now moving slightly west of north at 17 mph with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. The has now brought it's official track further east with a landfall near Pensacola, in line with my forecast. Remember that this tropical cyclone is large and disorganized and sustained tropical storm force winds with gusts to hurricane force will impact much of the Florida Panhandle coast tomorrow from about Apalachicola westward, well in advance of the cyclone center landfall.
Also as I've mentioned repeatedly flooding rainfall, a small storm surge and tornadoes are likely east of the landfall location.

Here in Pinellas County, winds have been gusting to about 35mph in occasional rain squalls. Just wet and breezy. A good warm up for the rest of the season.

Center is now clearly evident on sat pick. She is south of all of the action, but some storms firing near center now. Clearly moving NNW. I will stick with a minimal cane and MS/AL border.

According to Paul Dellegatto at Fox 13 news, about a 60% chance of becoming a minimal hurricane. Hope this helps.

Other than the tornado our county had this afternoon, it has been very mild here. It is raining.
Only thing worth mentioning is the rain is falling sideways. That became all too familiar last season. I had actually forgotten about it til today.

Rabbit -- 50/50 right now. Could see it reach hurricane intensity in the next 12hr but weaken right before land with the cooler shelf waters. No telling either way, really, but it's got a shot.

Clark, what up man? How are things going over there at ? Tell Travis I said what up, I haven't talked to him in a couple of weeks.
As far as goes, I agree it's probably 50/50 at this point. It sure looked like earlier in the day that she would get there as they were bumping the winds up with every advisory. The presentation of the storm is surely looking much better this afternoon, so I could see hitting the 75 mark rather easily if this continues. The biggest hinderance towards becoming a cane at this point is probably the forward motion (time).

No..Arlene is not a hurricane as of this vortex message. The flight level winds are 75 kts; not the surface. They try an obtain a surface wind when they can; but most of the time it is extrapolated from winds at flight level; and depending on what FL is, depends on what percentage they lower it. Latest 11/0435Z message shows FL winds of 71 kts and they recorded a SFC wind of 57 kts; but 120NE of the center. I suspect if the center was under the convection they might have upgraded her to a CAT 1 storm; but she continues to be disjointed and convection tops have warmed considerably on past few satellite frames. What appears to be the low level center is well removed from it's upper level circulation.

So many centers..and now at 11/0615Z, another possible new center and it's moving due West along 27.5N. Looks like 2 distinct centers, one devoid of TSTMs, the other the new MCC moving due west inside a larger cyclonic envelope. I was about to write, I'm sticking with Mobile-Pensacola, but this has me scratching my head. I don't see anything in the upper air environment to change the NNW course towards the coast...the 200mb ridge has strengthened over FL and SE USA as her outflow indicates; but 850, 700 and 500, show continued slight weakening or neutral heights over past 24 hours. I can't imagine what the boys are thinking now...so many centers; which one? Safe to say, this is a storm we don't concentrate on the center; the action is well away from the center at the moment with the exception of this new development.
