the center jumped north today as it was rounding/interacting with that upper low.. which is now pulling away wsw. Katrina is now in the wake of a withdrawing upper low--which is greatly enhancing the outflow. 5pm disco already mentioned the kind of inner core changes that can take place if a solid ring of deep convection can form. waters between florida and the bahamas are about as juiced as anywhere in the basin in terms of heat content... the cat 1 call i made is middle ground between the circulation not consolidating and dry air not mixing out, and what would happen if rapid deepening takes place.
nhc has been adjusting the post-peninsula crossing track to the right today. my earlier call to ms/al is now way left of the official... i'll reset it when Katrina is done crossing florida, but i missed the boat with the synoptic pattern. the model consensus has shifted right, but there are still some taking it further out into the gulf. the way things are looking Katrina will be all florida, though. clark's panhandle call last night was right on, if this stuff verifies. i hear the fla west coasters discussing how some are taking it off and then up the coast or back in. that looks overdone to me, as the globals that favor it have one of those tarbaby disturbances coming in from the east... those don't look legit just yet.
97L is still being rated as just that. it's definitely got a closed low and a disjointed area of deep convection... which has continued for a couple of days now. it's what i'll call a sheared tropical cyclone. expect it to get the profile necessary for the NHC to rate it, though i've seen features like this before persist for days and all the NHC does is mention that it may become a depression in the outlook.
globals still seeing the feature tailing 97L... some developing it as it gets further west. it's a watcher for around the weekend.

As long as it stays as far away from Pensacola. We are still picking up pieces from our 40x60 barn that the rafters blew down the other day during these awful thunderstroms we have been having.

HF, you hit a nerve there. As I stated earlier concerning her ragged appearance, she is now showing some rapid blow up of convection near the "center" and in the larger bands around the periphery. This seems to be the beginnings of an intensification phase as those waters are quite warm, warmer than I've seen them in years. I think she's got her shot of geritol and is sparking now. Cheers!

Would it be possible for anyone to make a map with the tracks of Frances, Jeanne and the projected path of Katrina? I am just north of Orlando and not sure what to expect. We lost our east facing roof last year, just wondering if I can compare what we may get to last year......
Thanks!

It is just due east of miami florida so if it is going to make that west turn it better do it fast or else am feeling a more northern path of this system

yes it almost due east at us... so my question is... are they going to issue hurricane warnings for miami giving that its due east and still going north? Any insight here will be very helpful to me guys. I know you can't stop mother nature but this one has really bad timing for me right now

Long range radar is no good for a developing tropical system in finding a center and deciding movement especially when it is daylight and Vis is available

umm... actually radar is great for it, because you can see the inner core.. which is concealed by a higher cloud shield in many cases. -HF

The Mets here in Orlando are "watching for a notherly turn". Is this hype or caution?

here is the latest vortex message. This center fix is 5 min north and 12 min west of the last one, which indicates a more WNW movement if this is indeed the same feature that they fixed on last time

Probably Caution, if it does err to the east we'll be in the NE quadrant of the storm and especially if it slows down over the peninsula. We are in the cone of error, that is not hype.

I tend to expect the NHC track, maybe just a little further north and maybe not so far out into the Gulf.

Interesting to see 55 kt estimated surface winds on that vortex message, though that seems overdone compared to the flight-level winds observed so far and the central pressure.

H warning for Miami-Dade? Anyone have thoughts? [Re: trinibaje]
      #49200 - Wed Aug 24 2005 06:22 PM

I ask because it will seriously effect my prep tonight. I am the "IT guy" in Miami but live in Broward. Thanks!

Its obviously started to strengthen. If this holds true, then I think they will bring it up to 50 knots at 8 pm because of the obvious discrepencies with the flight level and the estimated surface winds.

Anyone notice the "hook" on the area around the center? It appears it is trying to tighten or wrap around...any thoughts? Definitely looking more westerly motion now....8pm Advisory or Recon will clear this up...

My problem with these weak storms is when to make the call to put up shutters. It appears this will be one those last minute prep. events. hmm. I think the last Broward County landfall was during the 1950s or 1940s maybe 1947 Cat. 4?

Definitely see that hook in the most recent radar images. It almost looks like a w-sw hook.

sometimes take a step back and look at the big picture, close up images can be deceiving.

TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWELVE BECAME TROPICAL STORM Katrina
AT 24/1200 UTC. THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM Katrina AT
24/1800 UTC WAS NEAR 25.2N 77.0W OR ABOUT 30 MILES/50 KM
EAST-NORTHEAST OF NASSAU IN THE BAHAMAS...AND ABOUT
200 MILES/320 KM EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST
OF FLORIDA. IT WAS MOVING NORTHEAST 17 KT . THE ESTIMATED
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE WAS 1001 MB. THE MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WIND SPEEDS 45 KT WITH GUSTS TO 55 KT. SEE THE LATEST NHC.....

I guess Not everything your read is right also.

Shutters? [Re: Justin in Miami]
      #49208 - Wed Aug 24 2005 06:51 PM

Same problem here Justin. A weak storm for now, but what about tomorrow? Shutters are still on hold and it is almost dark. So, up early to check out the situation in the morning. No one seems to have done any preps. and the stores/gas stations aren't even busy. I hope it doesn't intensify quickly, because if it does, many people will be caught off guard.
