There are no "up to the minute" sats...sometimes NWS will run a Super Rapid Scan mode that gives one minute imagery updates (but with some lag), but there are not running SRO for . There is a link to the RAMSIS page at the bottom of the main page where rapid scan loops are displayed.

Thanks..These 15 minute delays are killing me.
What are your thoughts. Still pretty much in line with the ?
That center sure looks west of 85 to me. Nuch much different I know.

Just want to post a few quick points here. Everything that most of us mets or future mets have said with has happend. She has strengthned in the se GOM, still dry air on its sw side, ( as said was going to be back 3 days ago) and a possibility of her making it near hurricane strength at landfall. My forcast still stands at a Panhandle hit. Most of the worst of the weather will be from near the center and to the east of the system. This is typical in GOM storms of this status.
On a quick model note: Consistance is a key to a good model, but sometimes the model on each storm will perform different. Currently if you look over the last 6-8 runs, the BAMM has been most consistant. The 12Z models right now coming out already have alittle too far to the west near 85.5 (matters which model) by 8pm tonight. That wont happen unless she moves NW now. Anyways I agree a track simular to the BAMM but alittle to the west.Again its going to be the weather near the center and to its east will be the main factor. Pressure should continue to drop into the evening. scottsvb

I've been watching the sat loops for a little while now, and it looks to me like she's tracked a little more W than N over the last few frames. Though, she's still so disorganized it's hard to see any definite movements. Like had been stated previously though, a stronger/more organized storm would probably track more north and landfall would shift a bit east. A less organized one and the track would be more to the west.

Per the sat I see the overall 'vortex' North of western Cuba heading northerly. It appears to have started 'racing ' directly northward.

The storm appears to be enhancing in the NW quadrant. Still, it seems to be too close to Florida to allow it to strengthen much if it races through the gulf. But, anything can happen to change the scenario.

Too close to florida to strengthn much you say? Remember last year,, about 100 miles further to the east. Went from 115 to 145mph in 6 hrs? I could be off a tad or not. I sound like Yoda,,hehehe.

You mean that last bright red line is where they expect landfall?

But Charlie, as I recall, was a mature storm when it entered the gulf; didn't appear as ragged as . Remember also that is handicapped in the SW quadrant- nada. There is no 'enclosure' and may become less viable with landmass interaction.

probably will be between strong tropical storm and weak hurricane...
however....what is interesting about these storms is their unpredictability. I love going out on a limb and predicting the worst. Not sure why....maybe it goes back
to my childhood. probably need therapy...ha!
think it could still blossom a little...appears to be wrapping around itself...we all know what the GOM can do...
what are the potentials...given the SST's, and the wind shear....and the dry air to the west?...
the dry air is backing off a little...and it appears to me the storm is starting to get it's act together....
we shall see....
let's have fun and make predictions...
mine...
Lakeland, Fl...120 mph max winds

Just the track in general as well as Landfall, and if we all don't have enough to talk about. There are 2 tropical waves over the Atlantic Basin. One tropical wave located near the 35/36 west line and 15 north moving west at 10-15 knots; no deep convection is associated with this system. A large wave is along the 74/75 west line with the extreme north portion extending over Haiti. The wave is moving to the west at 10-15 knots. There is numerous strong convection associated with this system over northwestern Venezuela and northeastern Colombia

Your right but everything leads us to believe that she can make it up to hurricane strength in the next 12 -24hrs. She always had the dry air to her w and shes been holding her own. Her center was broad with many vortexs rotating inside. Pretty much she is alot healthier then 12hrs ago.

Any idea when she is going to move farther to the West?? I mean, it looks like she is right off the W. Coast of FL. We honestly can't take any more rain. As Colleen can probably agree with me on this, the road have sitting water in them already. I can't even begin to think of what one-two more days of heavy consistant rain is going to do.
Anyone watch Fox News? They make it sound like this is the end of the world. They are so darn dramatic when they show coverage of the storm. I have no choice that is the channel that is on in my face here at work, but give me a break.
I do wonder how much stronger she will become before making landfall. I didn't think she would be more than just a rain maker but I might have been wrong

Tampa would be horrified with that prediction; I'm betting on Apalachicola as a strong TS.
