Isidore: He is starting to strengthen again, as evidenced by the convection building around the center of the circulation and the rainbands intensifying NE of the center. Should be a hurricane in 24-36 hours. I'm still thinking further E of where is forecasting lanfall, I'd go with Alabama/Florida border. Low category 2 looks good at landfall...effects will be felt from Isidore for a couple hundred miles. Everybody will get something from Isidore.
Lili: This is another problematic storm. Recon finds that the winds keep getting higher and higher, but the pressure stays the same or goes up slightly. This may be because of the upper-level low to the S and SE of Lili, but she will be moving away from this feature soon. Should intensify to around 80-90 knots. Pressure should start to fall as well. I'm thinking Florida is going to get quite a threat from her, but perhaps not a direct hit. Lili is getting larger at this point and I'm thinking she will be pretty big by the time she nears Florida. I agree with forecast through 72 hours. After that, she will probably crawl NW or NNW towards S. Florida. She will be knocked down by interaction with Cuba, but she should strengthen right back up. Best bet at this point...Lili moves north parallel to Florida EC with winds of 80-90 knots and intensifies slowly. Expect to feel some pretty strong effects...but don't expect direct hit at this time...although any west movement could put her onshore.
The media is going to go ape #!@$ here...two storms with a day or two apart. One makes landfall just west of Florida and then a classic storm going through the Bahamas perhaps. Going to be a busy late-week and weekend.
Bucs 26 and Rams 14. Kurt Warner...4 interceptions. Marshall Faulk gets a neck injury. Need I say more? Bucs are only going to get better...

I see it in that loop, but put on the gridlines:

If that ain't stationary or drift due north, I'll - nevermind, I've had my fill of hats this week.

As of now, I'm seeing probably a west coast of FL storm or even a N FL storm. I don't see her paralelling the east coast unless some effect from Kyle forces her up.

Isidore: I am going to stick with Al/MS border, no reason to change now. Still say cat 1 marginal cat 2.
Lili: Roll the dice. Just hope we don't crap out. The scenarios are all so close right now. A curve somewhere around Florida seems logical to me. However, history has my gut saying lili will follow in Isidores footsteps to Western Cuba and the GOM. Not sure what kind of interaction Lili will have with kyle. Hopefully, the situation will be clearer in 24-48 hours.

Well Isidore looks to be moving slowly N or NNE per latest vis loop. Looks as though it is slowly strengthing as bands begin to wrap back around the center. Well my north FL landfall (Apalachicola) maybe a bust? Still think panhandle has a chance at this for sure. Look for it be a CAT 2 at best when it makes landfall (100mph or so). As Isidore makes landfall Thursday or so Lili will be ready to take its turn NW towards FL? My bet is it will at least get very close to florida if not lanfall but again depends on front moving down this way this weekend.

That's what I think, too. He is doing one thing: buying himself a little time to get cranked up again.
I am begining to get a little more confident that Lili WILL NOT BE a GOM problem. Too many signs that she will turn almost due NW in three days. Cuba ends up getting hit on both ends
in less than two weeks. Some people have all the luck

I could certainly understand what you mean, but the front moving down simply won't allow Lili a direct route into the GOMEX. However, I can't rule out that if Lili threatens EC Florida, the ridging from Kyle would force her over the peninsula and into the GOMEX. I don't see that occuring at this point, but it is a possibility. The weather is hard to predict, talk about fickleness and uncertainty.

Anon,
That is actually 29.3N 89.7W...there are 60 minutes in each degree, so 18 minutes north is approximately 0.3 degrees north, same for the longitude.

Does anyone have the feeling that the forecast track for izzy may be shifted east? at least the watches should proabably since the storm is so large winds will be felt far away from the center. Look at all the dry air on w/v the storm cant go anymore west i dont think. so what do u all think??

It's looking more NNE. Folks in Mobile- Destin need to stay on it.
I sure am.

As I look out my window and watch another rain band move by, and now that my boss just called to tell me not to come into work tomorrow(I work outside) , is forecasting Lili to be a classic coast runner. But unlike most of the others that come this way, some butthead named Kyle is sitting out there, ready to start playing bully, and maybe give her a cheap shot, or not let her turn all the way back out. Isn't this a great time of the year?
