I have another question (even tho my first about SST didn't get answered yet...). Wouldn't it be worse, not better, for Havana for the eye to pass just to the east? Even if west of the eye is not as strong as the east, if the eye is passing close enough, and there are strong winds all around the eye, then could the north winds create more of a problem with water, since the coastline is on the north, not the south? Or is storm surge not an issue in this case since the storm came from the south over land?

That sounds like a good direction to go in to me(115mph) ( hope thats not knots.)Everyone on the northern coast get out your oscillating fans and blow that cane someplace where they can use the rain.

Holy Moly! Those are way too close for comfort! Thanks for sharing...... what do you guys make of it???
It's a little disconcerting. Clark alluded to this possible track yesterday - taking the storm closer to the west coast on more of a northerly heading (rather than NNW or NW). The models have been flip-flopping a little east or west so we'll need to really check out next runs.

Also the slim chance Clark alluded to of a stall or loss of steering currents after enters the SE Gulf is interesting. I wonder, given the way has ambled through Cuba tonight, if this is still a possibility.

Marco, the main problem with slowing is that it causes havoc with forecast tracks. The faster he gets to where he's going, the less the environment around him changes. If he's moving slower, you have to wait until some feature convinces him to move one way or the other and that gets dicey, ala last year. Slower will let him strengthen more, but if he sits in the same spot for a while, he will cool the water down and eventually start to weaken. So, in the long run, he's probably a Cat 3 for most of his Gulf visit regardless. Slowdowns are bad for forecasting.

Yes, you heard it correct..that would be in Baldwin County on the FL border, for everything south of I10. Problem is I10 is 30 miles north of the coast in Baldwin County.

This evening's and runs are pretty interesting. The moreso than the . I'm looking carefully at that run, and it wants to take the storm NNW from h 18-30, and then turn it more NW. That takes the storm much closer to the West Coast of Florida than the previous run. To be honest, though, I can't really justify picking one model over another this evening. Watching is simply the best thing that the public can do. Even if the 18Z track does occur, the 's error cone seems to cover this possibility.
The storm has slowed slightly. I guess we are just being given a few more things to look at.

I've been reviewing the long range Key West radar, and it is amazing to me how little northward progress has made. If you freeze the frames in between and oscillate between the first and last frame, you will notice that is moving with a true WNW motion right now. And to my bare eye, the storm also seems to be slowing.
