Well count me in  Hubby and I will be on ours unless it is raining. We had tickets for ZZ Top at the new harley place but they cancelled all of their florida tours so not seeing them this weekend. oh well
It may be just as well cuz this storm may not hang around the YUC like it is thought to.....

If this thing stalls over the Yucatan for 24 hours, JB will be right. Ther interaction with land is already having an effect, and the motion seems to be more nw or even wnw, as the predicted

wow, if anything i would think more north. i'm still waiting for this thing to slow down, right now i don't see it! still waiting....if this thing doesn't slow down, you have landfall in tampa.

Accuweather has made a major move south with their landfall (it used to center at Punta Gorda). They also have it a Cat 1 coming ashore in the south Everglades near Flamingo.

Actually I hope JB is right because it puts me on the northern part of the storm which for is where you want to be.

Let's hope for a stall and a hard right turn through the Florida Straits into the Atlantic and out to sea.
Sorry about ZZ Top........but there are always CD's...... peace

OK...someone else sees it too so now I'll say something....(I still don't trust my eyes enough yet to make comments such as I see this or that) however, I'll concur with you on that....look like I can't decide if that's good or bad though....good with some dry air entrainment..obviously...but bad because to my very untrained eye..her the top portiion of her eye looks to be elongating ( in the last loop at least) toward the NE....turn soon = bad.
Bottom line: She's a real head scratcher. However, I will say this...I think that is doing an incredible job with her. I do not envy them with this one.

I have to agree with the others...looking at the latest 2 or 3 segments of the Cancun radar loop, plus the IR GOES loop, it seems clear to me that is beginning to hook harder to the left. I was thinking it was beelining to Cancun -- now I'm thinking it's turning to plow right into Cozumel instead.
The models may have had something about the stall & loop over the Yucatan Peninsula. The interesting part will be to figure out what she'll do once she gets done with the stall pattern over the peninsula. It's going to come down to a timing issue with the fronts out there I'm going to guess.

Would Clark or Hank...or anyone else for that matter..care to comment on todays 06GFS slp image loop on the NOAA site?
Fairly in line with the offical forecast for ...maybe a tad north...but it's what it shows coming after.Looks like continued unsettled weather for Fl as well...unless my eyes are deceiving me...Alpha is right behind.
Hope everyone here is encouraging their families, friends, coworkers, & neighbors to keep an eye on & to be prepared. "Only" a Cat 1 or 2 can still cause problems for affected areas.

It looks like WNW again. If this continues it definitely makes landfall in the Yukatan. It will slow down and weaken. Tampa escaped Charlie, Tampa escaped (remember the Friday night where it kept going west of Kingston), and Tampa will escape .

Man, I hope that the folks in Cozumel and Cancun were as prepared as one can be for these types of things. A stall over either one of those areas could be absolutely horrific...could you image a healthy CAT 4 sitting on top of you for two days!?! I mean really..try to imagine that..the only comparison (remote at best) that we have is Francis..and she was a CAT 2 and it was not two days. God I hope those people got the heck out of dodge.

Incredible job? Naaah. If you examine the tracks of hurricanes for the last 150 years, in October they usually land in Southwest Florida or around Tampa. A layman can get as close as the 'professionals' with no more information than knowledge of where these storms usually go.

I should warn you against making such flippant remarks on here:

you'll get chewed up for that! No one knows exactly where she's going to be 4-5 days from now...not even the if you read their DISCO. I'm glad you feel so confident....wish I did.

i couldnt agree with you more on that native i hope everyone got to safety ....i couldnt imagine what they are going through right now and my thoughts and prayers are with them all and hopefully they will be able to get back up on their feet after this horrific ordeal...alot of people are way more concerned about their home and if its going to hit near them*guilty as charged* but its only human to worry if your home or your friends and family are going to get blown away....
Good Luck Cancun & Cozumel and we are thining of you!!!

You wonder if they really had time to prepare as the was saying middle of the Yucatan channel as of early Wednesday. Looks like the first that showed Yucatan landfall wasn't so crazy afterall.
