Good morning all from soggy Ft. Myers. Had some really bad feeder bands come through last night. Currently it's raining and the winds are picking up again. I just saw on that Jeff Morrow is at Sanibel Island, and he said many flights out of Southwest Florida International Airport are delayed and some are even cancelled.
Still, things are looking up for us on the west coast, now that has gone further west than anticipated. I'm breathing much easier this morning, although still paying close attention to where he goes next.

Maybe I can't see it with just a 50 minute KW loop, but does appear to be slowing down and sort of meandering (now drifting west)...I'm wondering if the steering currents are getting weak. Clark had mentioned that this was a possibility the last couple of days

I don't get it. Everyone keeps talking about this going right, but yet every model continues to go west, Except for the BAM, all the models I see are west of the track. All I can say is the boards are now up and its waiting time.

look at the water vapor loop. the clouds are now popping up further west of track and moving northerly as opposed to last nights north easterly. like clark said, this may steer more west of the track. biloxi to mobile bay is more likely if this flow remains. I suppose the energy from the plains has yet to hit the trough and that could push it east again later today. what timing!

I think when this is all over with...we will find that the forecast tracks were more accurate than usual...the track has stayed with Pensacola for how many days now? At least they get to prepare for the storm with lots of extra time and as long as supplies last.

I just looked at a two hour radar loop out of Key West. Looks like a wobble to the west; but the overall NW motion has been steady over the two hour loop. Looks like it is trying to organize itself a bit more. That would be expected, though.

I do feel if there is going to be an error on the track, it will be a west error. I am having a lot of trouble seeing conditions that will cause a more northerly push. I am still thinking MS/AL border. Not all that far off the forecast at this time.

The weather in Orlando, at the moment, is clody with some ocassional light rain. It's pretty dark, indicating som pretty high cloud tops. So far, we are fine. I do expect som heavier rain today and we need to be vigilat to the tornado threat (as does everyone in the state).

It has slowed, due to the fact that the eye is getting larger. Very little movement during the last hour. It will resume a NW path, with jogs to the NNW as the models project. But as a cautionary note - I'm viewing this as if I woke up without any knowledge of model projections. There is still much uncertainty as to where he may go, so don't get complacent on the west coast yet; not until he passes your latitude. He is developing quite rapidly again, and as Ed said last nite, he may compress the ridge to the north again as he strengthens. Cheers!!

A few notes from Atlanta......
1) To the person bringing his family to Orlando, you should be in good shape on I-95 through Georgia, BUT, pay attention to all the road signs and also make a list of the local radio stations along your route to keep up with any changes in direction of . Routes to to be avoided this weekend would be I-75(as that may be reversed to all northbound when you get ot Cordele) Best bet is to pay attention to the radio and any forecasts later on.
2) If you look at the state of Georgia about 80% of the counties are under a flood watch from Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon. If Atlanta gets any significant rain from it could be pretty bad here, especially on the south side of the metro where the average fron Cindy was 4-6" rainfall.
3)GDOT has suspended construction again this weekend through most of the state acccording to 11Alive.com due to possibility of using the roads leading out of Florida into Atlanta as an evacuation route....
4) Was looking at the maps of GA and notice that the front that steered Cindy over us is kinda washing out over central GA, would that have any affect on the track of ?
First bands of clouds from the outflow of should be reaching us by this afternoon with precip forecast to start falling by late tonight....Take care everyone along the gulf coast!

Yikes! I wake up and find all the models are clustering, and a little more to the west, much too close to Pascagoula for my comfort! Guess we'll know a lot more in 12 hours.

That's usually a good sign when Cantore is in your backyard. It's not going to hit there !! LOL
Was that you jumping up and down and waving hands behind the scenes?
