An excerpt from the Special Advisory on Hanna:
THE TRACK HAS ALSO BEEN SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED BASED ON THE LATEST FIX. THIS SPECIAL ADVISORY SUPERSEDES THE INTERMEDIATE ADVISORY.
They said that they adjusted the track slightly....does anyone know which way the adjusted it? To the left or to the right?

Slightly to the left. Though I don't see much difference.

I think a lot will depend on what Gustav does and how fast he moves. How Hanna moves NW at that angle I don't see but we'll see...
Gustav is supposed to slow but he hasn't slowed much has he?
Think it's in the latest recon or discussion the relocation of Hanna but less concerned with the temporary relocation vs the track...
Boy has Gustav moved fast, before our eyes... 3 storms out there, THREE and we aren't far from the fourth!

I hope I'm reading this correctly. 1:30 update has her at 22.4N and 72.6W whereas 11am advisory had her at 23.0N and 72.9W. Does that help?
Does anyone know how St. Bernard parish is doing with it's newspaper stuffed levees?

Recon was having a really hard time putting a fix on the center as Hanna has a broad circulation.
All the reports that I've seen have been saying the levee's are holding fine. There is splashing and over topping but now breaches that I've heard of.

Navy just declared the INVEST behind Hannah 90L.
The doesn't think that it will form at this time, though the surface pressures in the area are low.

Would not put much focus on the models right now given that they are a bit off, still awaiting the 18Z guidance not sure if this new position will make it into the 18Z run more likely the 00Z run tonight. My thinking is will see some westward shift possibly to the models tonight considering it continues to meander to the WSW. showing a rather strong cane moving up into Georgia coast in about 96hrs, rather rare.

Best track now has TD#9 as Ike, so Ike at 5PM, Hanna a Hurricane, Gustav inland, and likely another depression tomorrow to boot. No rest for the weary....

Gustav is spinning down now. Max winds near 90mph as of 3PM. Now we have to see how fast it slows down for the inland flooding threat. It hasn't slowed much yet.

Question for the forum. Is Hanna moving at all, or has she stalled....I'm running to home Depot to get plywood, and clearing up junk around the yard, and want to get this done today. Any thoughts?

Hello all, I am in Merritt Island, and thinking that we should get a pretty decent glancing blow from Hanna, My brother is a MET back home on Long Island, and sent me some pretty good links, hopefully all of them have not been posted here already. Lets all stay safe.............. Rob

Man things are busy out there. I was looking at charts and graphs on here and putting into play the wsw movement of Hanna and this looks like a North Florida storm to me somewhere between Flagler Beach to Jacksonville. It looks like some of the models are starting to think the same thing. does anyone think the will catch on to this.

Wow! Hanna already up to 88 kt max. flight level winds and 77 kt surface winds. So it´s a strong cat. 1!

There is very little evidence that Hanna is going to take a more westward route than forecast. Almost all the models are clustering between a north Florida to South Carolina landfall, with a few outliers.
See:
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/~acevans/models/al082008.png
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/~acevans/models/al082008_late.png
Also, per hanna, latest recon pass found 983mb central pressure (no vortex recon; purely HDOBs) and a max surface wind of between 75 and 77kts. If this slow strengthening continues (about 1-2mb drop per hour), it will hit category 2 (80 kt / ~979mb) sometime late this afternoon or early this evening.
Recon (the previous run) reported a very broad pressure and wind center. As she spins up, this will condense. Will be interesting to watch. Models only call for cat 1 to cat 2 max.
Edit: Vortex Recon finally came in. About what I said, plus: "GREATLY IMPROVED RADAR BANDING IN CENTER"

And lower pressures are being found still.

And that can be confirmed with surface observation in pine cay where pressure currently is 983.6mb, winds still sustained near 50-55mph with gusts 60-65mph at this location.
