TWC is saying it will most likely take 24-36 hours for to get from the east coast to the west coast. I understand that there could be some major flooding but what about wind? As i understand it, when a storm moves over land and for long periods of time due to slow forward speed, wouldn't it lose some of it's wind? I know there is no terrain to really impede the storm, but it still won't have the warm water feeding it. So if it takes almost two days to cross the state does that mean by the time it gets near me (Manatee County, north of Sarasota) the winds should at or below tropical storm strength? Also, 's path takes it pretty damn close to my area whereas the and some of the models have it exiting around the FT Myers/Naples area. Any thoughts on this? You can PM if you wish....

The is aligned with the circulation center, the bands are there, the elliptical elongation east to west is going away. The traces of dry air between the bands are starting to disappear. Temperatures in the water are high, shear is low. Forward movement is slowing. Tomorrow is going to be highly interesting. I'd prepare for a category 2 tomorrow, even if it doesn't make it that high. Listen to local media and stay updated if you are in Palm Beach or Broward counties.
I'm supposed to be doing work in Lee county Friday through saturday on the west coast, so believe me I'm watching this very close.
I manage a small fleet of drivers who work in Lee and Collier County, so I'm in the same boat. If you're thinking about a Cat 2 possibly at the intial landfall, should I prep for a Cat 1 on the West Coast in Lee and Collier? My concern is it stalls out or that it moves NW after the intial landfall. The models are everywhere and don't seem to be much help, or is that my scientific ignorance on this subject showing?

I can report from NE FLL that the only preps I have seen are lines at the gas station. If this thing goes to a two then the term rush to completion will be in full effect here tomorrow.

im just as curious as you are im also in Manatee County. I dont think it wil be too bad by the time it gets to our coast but you never know.. I still am in agreement with scottsvb that it will exit between venice and clearwater.

Perhaps, but the model plots all seem to be coming into an agreement of the system sliding up the southwest coast. It may be far enough west not to cause many problems by the time it gets up to my neck of the woods in the TB area, but for ya'll from Collier-Sarasota/Manatee it looks awfully close.

So I take it from the now west moving storm that the worst we can expect in southern Brevard is breezy conditions? Seems as the any northward movement has ceased, and a continued west motion should prevail until it reaches the GOM?

I know that absolutely no one is preparing for a cat 2 hurricane here. They aren't even preparing for a cat 1. Of course this even includes me, because my shutters are still in the garage. I have not seen a single home putting up shutters. The weather won't be the best tomorrow for doing it either. Schools here are actually open until early afternoon, that is crazy. There might be some time early in the morning, but most people will be at work or school. My pressure has slowly risen from 6:30 pm until now from 29.86" to 29.91". I think this is in reference to the high building in somewhat from the north. Therefore, the storm took that sharp left earlier this evening.

a vigorous tropical wave with a closed low and deep convection, mind you.
gonna keep the idea at cat 1, 980-984mb, boca raton area. it still looks good so far.. i see the potential for more strengthening but seems more likely to do less as of now.
the second hit at al/ms is out to lunch based on the model shifts.. still more than 3 days out so i don't feel too bad relocating. i'll just go with 'what clark said'. i'm thinking it will be stronger, is the only difference. earlier idea, with more open ocean around was a cat 3. will just keep it there for now, but adjust based on the initial landfall intensity.. when that happens.
97L has kept its center ahead of the convection, extended out into the big pool of saharan air in the eastern/central atlantic. there's a band of zonal westerlies at and just north of the low that is keeping the deep convection peeled back.. and less impressive than earlier. even though it's been a closed nonfrontal low over the tropics generating winds near or at gale force, it may never be classified. i don't see the shear profile changing that much in the coming days.

This forecast is rather difficult since one of the more
reliable models...the ...shows that the cyclone barely touches
the East Coast of Florida before moving northward....while the
outstanding moves south of due west across extreme
South Florida and the Keys as a very intense hurricane. The
scenario would be very dangerous for South Florida. This appears to
be unrealistic at this time but because of the good past
performance of this model...we must pay close attention to future
model runs.
From the discussion.

The latest takes it close to ala LA so they are not going to use that one at all? has done good so far this year.
It is going west already which is in line with the Gdfl and so im not sold on this going out above venice.I would prefer it but don't see it.
