11PM Update
No Hurricane tonight, but it has the potential during the early morning to strengthen. Hopefully it will get more disorganized and not make that.
Skeetobite's Maps: Hurricane Warning Area and Forecast Track:
![](http://i.flhurricane.com/images/2005/arlene_warn228x142.gif)
Regardless, there is now a Hurricane Warning from Pascagoula, Mississippi east toward Destin. Expect Category 1 hurricane strength within 24 hours in that location..
Original Update
Tropical Storm is gaining some organization tonight. And likely may be named the first Hurricane of the 2005 season. The latest Aircraft Recon Report has the windspeed a bit up and may indicate it may reach hurricane strength later tonight.
We'll be watching it closely, of course, as Hurricane Watches and tropical storm warnings are up along the northern gulf coast, from Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle. Folks further east along the Florida coast will want to watch this one as well in case the center reforms closer to the western florida coastline. Still the latest track trends toward the Florida Panhandle, and is the most likely location.
More to come. See updates from Clark Evans and Jason Kelley below. I

Nealy half a degree west in the last three hours, that's the most definitive movement west since this thing began. Let's see if that becomes a trend.

Is there ANY chance still of going west of Mobile, or does it definitely look like a FL panhandle strike now

She appears to be moving NNW to NW on latest sat pics. I still believe she will land at the MS/AL border. Looking now for a moderate cat 1.

mbfly.. I think the Mobile area may be back in the picture, just have to wait for the next adv. I also guess I possibly lost my bet that she would not make Cat I. Have a feeling she will at the next adv.

hay what's going on in this atlantic hurricane season?
Anyways we had some fairly stiff winds today (coastal Palm Beach County), and to be honest the steady southerly wind and rain reminded me a lot of passing to the west last year. Fortunately we missed the heavier bands that moved through Miami-Dade and Broward earlier today.

Haven't been able to post much because my Mom, sister and two nieces are here. We haven't gotten much rain here in Lakeland. Should we be expecting some rain later on or are the rain bands too far off the coast? It doesn't seem like we're going to get much rain based on the radar loops...unless there's more to the south that are going to hit us later. Are we out of the woods with the rainfall?

Since it's getting dark it's quite hard to see, but if you stare really closely yes some type of depression in the is starting to form ( http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GIFS/HUVS.JPG ). I digress. The storm is still very much un-organized, with still a dry slot pushing ne into the sw corner of the storm ( http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GIFS/HUWV.JPG ) .
But a large 500 mb ridge dominates the GOM providing quite good coniditions for the storm to develop. That spike of 30 + C waters leading to the mouth of the mississippi (probably due to eutrophication) might pull the storm to the west more then the models anticipate. Just a hypothesis.

Here in Atlanta, it looks like the mets are hedging their bets and downplaying this as a minor rain event here in Atlanta, But my gut feeling tells me that we may get some significant rain out of this somewhere between 3-6" before it's all said and done. We'll see how they play it when the 11pm comes out.....
