and if we don't see a west vector, and I mean pretty quick, we are gonna see a Panhandle landfall...the model tracks all called for Izzy to get to about 92-93W...there's gonna have to be a serious west vector change for that to happen.
Beven is a good forecaster, but a little close to the vest...Let's just say I am gonna have an interesting weathercast in about 40 mins...the tracks are gonna HAVE to shift east...

Right Joe. Isidore is something that everybody in the central/eastern GOMEX need to keep eyes on. His effects will be felt well east...and Melbourne mentioned the possibility of rotating storms with Isidore.
After that, our attention must turn immediately to Lili. The ridge between the two (produced by Kyle) will likely materialize. Should allow Lili to move due north along the Florida EC, perhaps even bump her slightly inland. I'm thinking the ridge could get her very close or right at category 3 status. Looks like trouble if nothing weird happen to her in the next 48 hours.

Whew ! Well JK, I'm glad I'm not the ONLY one who thinks the warnings should be east of where they are..... but I guess they're gonna wait until the 11pm to do that ? Or, worse yet, the 5am tomorrow ??

Correct Jason. Isidore is just a tad shy of 90W...models at 92-93, no way that will happen without a westerly component to the motion very soon. Tick...tick...tick, the track is just waiting to be shifted east.

I'm thinking strong Cat 1 at this point...but cat 2 isn't out of the picture at this point.

Panhandle landfall would also give Izzy that much more time over the water. Worse-case senerios are spinning counter-clockwise in my head as Lili comes at FL. Much like the Gulf coast, we are getting poured on in the sunshine state. Rain alone could be a big story here. Some places are over 5 in of rain today, with a 100% chance of the wet stuff tomorrow. Fun!

Jason..
Is there any way to link to your stations website and watch your weathercast? You seem much more informative than the locals in Orlando...thanx...

Unfortunately no...we used to delay stream the newscast, but we stopped that a while back...
At any rate, feel free to ask me whatever comes to mind...I'll answer as best I can and have time to...

Hi , I was hoping for the west forecast. LOL My Mom is in town,Gulf Breeze ( Pensacola Area) . She is debating on changing her flight back home (from PNS, Atlanta then west)on Thursday to Wensday morning. I don't think any option looks good. Any guess on when and if they would shut the airports around here down?

Unless I'm reading this wrong, recon found pressure of 986MB, a drop of two. Izzy writes his own book, for sure.

Jason,
Hi, my name is Lorraine.
Would you mind answering a question from an ignoramus? If Izzy does move more to the east, what can people in the central Florida area expect from the storm? We're in Winter Haven, which is right in between Orlando and Tampa - I believe we're southwest central Florida.
Thanks!

Well, I don't think it will move due east...there is gonna have to be some north component no matter what...
You guys will probably get more rain...totals of maybe 2 inches or so, and some east/se breezes...15-20 or so.

I see no real motion at all. I have been telling everyone around my office since before Izzy hit Cuba that Pascagoola was the prime target. I am not changing my mind now. The warning will have to go up much further east. New Orleans should be the western most point and Panama City the eastern one. Still think Izzy will strengthen more than anticipated. I would say around 105-115 at landfall.

As I've been watching the cloud patterns, I can't see how Isidore will move west or due North. I think NE over the big bend area of Florida. Unless he develops a lot of clouds in a day or so, it will be a fairly dry storm by the time it makes land fall. Any opinions?

I dont think the storm will get that strong maybe 90mph or so give or take maybe 10mph. There will be gust probably about 100 or 110 maybe. for some reason it doesnt look to be organizing like i thought it would anyone got an idea?

I think we will see Izzy start to organize again quite soon - 12 hrs. You can already see this organization from the most recent satellite pix.
