No one could tell you that but God right now. It's still a couple of days away at least. It might hit you, it might hit me in Central Florida. Just stay updated.

Interesting discussion from NWS Key West office:
FLORIDA KEYS AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
500 PM EDT THU JUL 7 2005
.DISCUSSION...
.OBSERVATIONS/TRENDS...
GOES-12 WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS AN APPARENT MID AND UPPER LEVEL
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION JUST NORTH OF THE BAHAMIAN CHAIN...WHICH
APPEARS TO BE ERODING THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. MEANWHILE...AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
CINDY EXIT NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...ANOTHER MID
LATITUDE TROUGH IS DIVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE GULF COAST REGION.
SUBSEQUENTLY...IT APPEARS THE FORMER DISTURBANCE HAS CREATED A
WEAKNESS IN THE SUBTROPICAL ANTICYCLONE ALLOWING HURRICANE TO
MIGRATE TOWARD THE NORTHWEST ALL DAY.

Thanks for the info on storm surge, ronnie. I'm not thinking evacuation just yet -- and hope it doesn't come to that! I'm stocked up on supplies, though, and I've got an uncle ready to help me put up my hurricane shutters if that becomes necessary. People here in Ft. Myers seem to be paying close attention to the storm. When I was at the store last night, the shelves were depleted. I'm glad to see people making early preparations.

Yes, but it likely a stair step. This would have to continue for at leat 5 more frames to be a trend.

Just heard a rumble of thunder. Looks like our first -spawned thunderstorm is rolling in from the southeast.

Nasa will prepare to roll back the Shuttle in case they have to. They will make that decision tommorow morning. However, all preparations are being made in case they have to. If they do roll back, the lift off will be delayed by 1 week or so.

Yes...I just looked at all the sat loops and you can see the eye again. I did see what looks to be stair-stepping to the north (as mentioned above) but for the most part it's moving to the NW.
In the discussion, they said that it was dropping about 1mb/hour, so at 5pm it was 957 and at 7:00pm it would be right on track at 955. Great.
Miss Becky...I saw the storms you're in...they look nasty!

I was watching the news earlier and I hope this thing really isn't coming to LA, because this contra flow idea is very flawed. So much for the improved plan... I can see this being worse than last year. It seems that the only people who can take I-10 out of Baton Rouge must come from New Orleans across the spillway... and they have a choice I-10 or I-55 (if they cut over towards Hammond). Everyone else.... including those form New Orleans East/Slidell/Covington (on I-12 West) and Metairie (who cross the Causeway) are required to go on I-55. So, let's see...seems to me that I-55 is going to end up with a ton of traffic, while I-10 from Baton Rouge is smooth sailing. Too bad I live in Mandeville and have no choice but take I-12 (or Hwy 190, which would be a disaster). I guess same as last year... if you're going to go, go early... if you're not on the road by the time Ray Nagin panics everyone, it's too late....
Contraflow info for anyone interested:

A negative dew point during a hurricane??? Surely that means something else.

But, the dew point is the temperature the air would have to be cooled to in order for the relative humidity to reach 100%. I'm thinking saturation is not a problem during storms.... so what's the deal?
