Looks to me like a touch south of west; it should be obvious by morning if its going to hit the "pocket" around Crystal River. If so, that's not a good sign for people in the Panhandle and perhaps even NO (!) as it is significantly south of the current forecast track centerline.

Looks to me like something is squishing this storm. Northern half looks like its being squashed as well as the COC.

Reading the latest Discussion on Fay. I caught this little bit of information.
THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SAGGED A LITTLE TO THE SOUTH...AND
SO HAS THE OFFICIAL TRACK. ALTHOUGH THE FORECAST POINTS LISTED
BELOW DO NOT EXPLICITLY INDICATE IT...THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK HUGS
THE GULF COAST OF THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AREA AT 36 TO 48 HOURS. IF
FAY ENDS UP MOVING FARTHER SOUTH THAN FORECAST...AND SPENDS MORE
TIME THAN FORECAST OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF...IT COULD BE AT
TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM NOW.
IF...HOWEVER...IT MOVES NORTH OF THE OFFICIAL TRACK...IT COULD
WEAKEN FASTER THAN INDICATED BELOW.
REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT TRACK...FAY WILL BE MOVING RATHER SLOWLY
DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...POSING A SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL
AND FLOODING HAZARD TO A VERY LARGE AREA.

That's not good news for the FL Panhandle/AL/MS or even possibly SE LA if it starts moving due West. I tell ya, this has been one crazy storm to track and it hasn't even reached Hurricane strength not even once. To think it could make 3 landfalls possibly in the same state is just crazy!

Big blow up of a lot of red on the latest frame of the AVN (around the 345 mark). Wow.
Family and friends of mine up the road in Northern Orlando who I've spoken to in the past hour have said that currently they are getting their worst weather yet.

recon just went through at 05:38:00Z... and looks like the center fix may be near... 29.08N 80.63W with a pressure of 994-995mb... looks to me a slight north of west dirft? will see what vortex report comes in. The above location is about 15 miles from the coast. GPS dropsonde on the NE side still has winds around 50-55mph at and near the surface.
Correction... GPS dropsonde shows a 993mb reading at the surface... vortex report soon

There is nothing unusual about the Fay's movement. The calendar and climatology play a big role given the time of year it is right now. Faye's current location and what that synoptic pattern is gives Faye's steering component. We all watched yesterday as Faye strengthened over land but given this is Florida - GOM on one side, the Atlantic on the other, Lake Okechobee and the Everglades and a very, very favorable upper level environment conducive to strengthening if she remains over open water for any length of time and you have a recipe of a sustained tropical cyclone like Faye. We all have to remember Faye did not become a hurricane and did not have a developed inner core that is traditional with hurricanes, thus for the most part she's remained in somewhat a steady state of development with some weakening and some strengthening. The big question that lies ahead in a few days is whether the upper air ridge over the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic will build enough to push Fay into the Gulf of Mexico further south than currently projected and what will be left of her if she emerges over open water.

There appears to be a southwest motion to Fay. Is this a trend... time will tell.

This is the worst of the weather yet in the Wekiva area of Seminole county. Winds are gusting and we are getting plenty of rain. Seminole schools are open today, ironically. NWS radara out of Melbourne has her looking a little ragged on the northern most quadrant right now, but I wonder if that is bad reflectivity. Has she made a move yet west? When?.

A nice day so far here in Tampa. Do you get the feeling that Fay might just be with us FOREVER!
