If this storm really decides to get it's act together. will there be a change in direction?

right, not surprising...and now we see the -80 sinister black toned cloud tops of utter terror returning to an attempt at a ...
it's likely to me that this will in the process of deepening fairly quickly for the next several hours, just as we said - which is somewhat unusual climatologically for hurricanes moving NE in this area of the Gulf, quite frankly, but that's a whole angle i don't want to get into now..
nonetheless, i feel fairly confident that this will be the case because of 's unique orientation with respect to her own motion - within the flow and thus relatively less shear; and, availing of a very intense polarward outflow channel associated with the enterance region of jet fields NW of the stationary/quasi-stationary boundary.

I just read that Recon has now found flight level winds of 110. Which should equate to a cat 3 if I am not mistaken, right?
Note: This is unconfirmed as of this time.
EDIT: It is confirmed.

What I saw happening and posted about this morning & last night has just started. Timing worked out to be very good for increase in intensity, with the exception the eyewall is still quite large. The 2245Z wv sat image shows she finally got the core tog. Since T12 has started quoting himself maybe I'll try to dig up my post from last night and do the same.
Now expect some strengthening, for some hours will be rapid strengthening, until about 1-2am.
One of the things that has helped her a lot the past 4-5 hours is the feeder band she developed from the Caribbean, where the air is much less dry than the GOM.
Here it is, from noonish...part of my earlier post:
"Looks like some quick intensification starting tonight, if she continues to slowly organize. Again timing of how far along she is in the reorg process when she hits the loop current will determine this to a large extent, even with the other things that factor into intensity."

Not likely... is caught up in the deep layer winds associated with veering and a large negative anomaly in the Ohio Valley (deep trough).... In fact, the only change will make is determined on the orientation of the isoheights she's locked in; they may actually orient more S to N post Florida visit, which would mean a smooth curve N up the coast... But, that will be subtle and registered over longer time lengths... You won't have to worry "as much" about short duration abrupty changes and large wobbles in her track. for lack of better words - locked into governing synoptics of said trough and how it is mass-balanced against ridges.

The last recon did not report an eye at all, but instead noted good spiral banding. Perhaps they are also seeing the oddly shaped eye that is apparent from the long-range Key West radar, which seems to be comprised of more than one arc of convection.

Depends...if that is a flight level none-extrapolated wind field, then you have to take note of the altitude and then fix it to the surface using standard conversion ratios for that altitude...example, 950mb I believe is 90%...So, 110kts =~ 99kts at the surface... I rarely do this conversion so check these number on the web or through other astute users. If that is already the surface estimate though, that's it: it's 110kts... and if that is the case, you'd have somewhere's around the mid 120's mph in common terms. But, I think that was a flight level estimate you've got there??

Is there any possibility of this storm hitting north of Fort myers. Because i believe that would put tampa in Hurricane force winds.

Using the last Two Recon Fixes.
I plotted the heading up to the Florida Coast.
On the Current heading. The Center would come ashore just East of Marco Island.
This is 196.31nm from the 2333Z Recon Center Fix.
Do Not Fix the storm on this point. This is just an extrapolated track. Based on her heading over a 3 hour time frame.~danielw
Remember...
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 85 MILES...140 KM...FROM THE CENTER
...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 230 MILES...370 KM.

What effects, if any, would a stronger intensity have on ’s track, specifically in regards with her interaction with the surrounding synoptic environment? Obviously, I am having trouble wrapping my mind around this whole setup --which is fascinating to say the least.

The most recent supplementary vortex message found a max flight-level wind of 110 kts in the SE quadrant. It was roughly 40 miles from the center with slowly increasing winds between the center and where the max winds were found, so the wind center is still pretty broad, as you would expect from the satellite.

Actually, having grown up in the Midwest before moving to eastern Massachusetts I can vouch for this.. This is standard for nighttime alert statements and actually makes a good deal of sense. In 1980, an F3 twister tore through downtown Kalamazoo, Mi, and I stood there frozen in awe watching from about a mile away before large hail brought me to run home... You know how when you have a bad dream and you can't run fast... It was that incarnate... Anyway, in the distance you could hear a) a low pitched hum/rumble and b) the sound of various debris popping and snapping... If it's not daylight and you cannot see these things taking place, you have to trust your ears that if that sound is unusual and kind of like...scary sounding? It is, and TAKE COVER.

Using the hypothetical Landfall Location, just east of Marcos Island.
Would give Hurricane Force winds south of a Bradenton to Melbourne.
And Tropical Storm winds from the Suwannee River to near Jacksonville.
Again...this is a hypothetical area. Based on 's movement over the 3 hour period from 2030Z to 2330Z.~danielw
See 's Map pages for graphic versions.
