I think the question of the hour for Peninsula residents (such as myself) is, how deep will the southwesterly flow go, and how much affect will it have on . I'm feeling pretty safe here in greater Tampa tonight, but I guess you never know.

I found it on the 3 am discussion on the Accuweather website. I have been concerned over a possibliity of a northeast turn and have been watching very closely. Although nearly all of the models disagree.

Nothing has been mentioned for hours about 2 of the models (GFS and another) that had shifted to the right. Have more models come in and if so, what are they like now? NE Turn someone mentioned??? Are the dynamics setting up or projecting for the possibility of that happening around 28-30 deg lat?? Yesterday, there was absolutely no chance of this thing bending NE until 200 mi inland.

I think we can safely assume that this storm is heading towards the AL/FL border, just as the has been saying for DAYS now. Kudos to them for calling it right 3+ days out.

The 5 am track is nearly identical to the one posted at 11, just a slight hair east. With each passing map as long as it stays west we here in Florida can rest a bit easier. Not until he is well north and inland though. After living thru its easy to have post tramatic stress syndrome. Our favorite saying in these parts of Florida these days is I hope that hurricane out there doesn't pull a :Charely".

Watch out for the storms! We've had some wicked storms and a lot of rain so far in the Naples area. We also lost power for an hour, something that did not happen at all last year. If you are in the path be careful and get your coffee made now!

Good morning to you to! Wow a whole 7th post and you are our official critic.
Its cool but this is a Weather Discussion board where we discuss and learn and some times make some dubious pronouncements. As for feeder band post, well those who live in effective areas do like to talk about those things as it is a Discussion board as fore-mentioned.
Anyhow, looks like is a little ragged. Will be interesting to see what comeback it can make. Models are in tight agreement so will just have to watch and hope that are friends to the North and west do not get a stronger storm.

Put this into context. We're coming off a year in which we endured 4 major storms in a short amount of time. To have another major storm in our area in less than a year and so early this year puts us on edge. Yes, we're nervous. As far as trusting the forecast 100%, not going to happen. 's hard right turn was not forecast at all after days of forecasts showing a more northwesterly track. So, let folks vent a bit.

Here's the most notable/best part of the 5 AM discussion. Great news to wake-up to:
SHIPS MODEL IS NO LONGER RE-INTENSIFYING BUT THE
GFDL DOES. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST FOLLOWS CONTINUITY AND
RE-STRENGTHENS OVER THE GULF BUT THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY
FORECAST MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED DOWNWARD LATER TODAY. NORMALLY...
IT TAKES 12 TO 24 HOURS FOR A CYCLONE TO RECOVER FROM THE EFFECTS
OF LAND...IF AT ALL.

News 9 says a tornado on the ground near St. Pete Beach.
It is moving west, so if you have just woke up in St. Pete, maybe due to the lightning, better take precautions...
