130 mph is respectable, but that was almost 70 years ago. Y’all have already forgotten about Ida, and that was just last year.

Bears watching.

(Actually serious on this... if it gets into the Gulf of Mexico's bath water, any coastal area there oughta pay attention. Check back around this weekend.)

Does anything positive come out of Africa?

[TallahasseeConservative]

We deal with them pretty often. Unless it’s something like Michael that was a 5 and made landfall at Mexico Beach, we’ll be fine down here. A Cat 3 or 4 isn’t great, but not unusual. We know how to handle them.

Migrating birds hit hardest.

Windy.com currently has it coming up through Cuba, Key West and into Marco Island area and then up the east coast to Wilmington, NC

I use Weather Underground and they don’t even show a disturbance in the area.

I think they’re talking about the AVNO 21 track for Disturbance 1.

Oh, noes! We're doomed!

I predict yet another nothingburger. Anyone want to place any bets?

Seems to me like the 'weather experts' are simply dying to have something, anything to report, since we've had no storms of note to date, after all their usual prognostications of doom earlier this year.

PING!.....................

correct. all the wx freaks are in a tizzy.

[Little Ray]

Looks like virtually a 0% chance of hitting the panhandle.

The media doesn’t tell the good stories about DeSantis, of course. Living in Florida has been really good under DeSantis and I think he is doing a great job. Florida is probably more ready for any recovery needs after a hurricane than we have been before.

[pnz1]

Yeah, I’m seein TPA or SWFL?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The 06Z 09/21 has it back to hitting Apalachicola on 09/30, and by then, it’s heading northeast, so my area (Pensacola) will not get the worst of it, and we’ll be on what is called the “good side” of the storm.

[NautiNurse]

Not being an alarmist...

Really?

[Little Ray]

Got a link? I don’t see a 06Z on the https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ .

In my area, Mexico Beach got scrubbed off the map a few years ago and is still rebuilding. Apalachicola is even closer. ALWAYS take hurricane warnings seriously until a miss is generated.

[Joe Brower]

Mexico Beach did take quite a hit. A neighbor of mine if from there & I helped him running clothes, food, etc to the area after the storm. He’s still helping friends in the area rebuild.

Weather forecaster is one of those occupations where you can be wrong 50% of the time and still have a job.

Climatologist is an occupation where you can be wrong 100% of the time and still have a job.
