Looks like the innermost eye has collapsed on the latest sat photo.
The trough modeled to pick up the storm is just coming onshore in the pacific northwest. It should be initialized better by everything tonight as real data comes in. It will progress across the U.S. Canadian border until it is infused with more energy diving out of Canada. The main issue here is that it is a little slower than forecast, so the storm will be able to progress further west in the short term.
Once the trough gets infused, a decent low should form near the Great Lakes (the reason for New England speculation after FL is the fact that this low would try to make the storm rotate around itself); either way, this will push the energy to the Gulf by early next week at the latest. So, at some point the storm will get pulled... the main question is when.
well at least they picked a hurricane name that the chick (Joyce) on the weather channel can pronounce.
"What howible weathew we awe having. Hoowicane Wilma will certinwee cause twouble in Fwowida this weekend"
Nice having their EEOE/Quota employee during the busiest time of the news day. Between her and Alexandra "Cat woman" Steele with her new nosejob and eye lift, the weather channel has turned into a freak show.
LOL! I got into the 300's also....
I'm north of you in Clay County. Been thinking of a steel roof. How about the cost as compared to a conventional one? Is it much greater? Have you noticed any difference in the insulation factor? Did you put it right over the old roof?
Sorry for all the questions but I'd rather get answers from experienced owners than a salesman.
Thanks.
That's scary stuff. I wonder though... it says we are not prepared. What can we do to prepare for something like that?
The chance that it will actually get picked up to the point that it thrashes NE seems pretty slim...it almost never, ever happens.
But, this year seems to be a year for repeating history and making it with hurricanes.
"I had to reconcile myself with chasing tornados on the ground ... lol."
If I hadn't got married and had kids, I'd probably be doing that myself. The best I was able to manage was storm spotting for the NWS through Skywarn. I actually saw some rotation that ended up as a small tornado that touched down near Nine Mile Nuclear power plant. I wish I could have got it on video.
things rotating around within, rings, spots, mesovortex, this one is something to be studied...
smacking the penguin give us something to do while waiting for FR to load. Hopefully FR will not crash right in the middle of a hurricane thread.
His column has been free nearly every day this past week, though.
I though that the low that just left Calif is suppost to give Wilma a push to the east? or it will now have no effect
I still say that they should hire Garrett Morris to do weather for the hard of hearing.
Funny!
A weekend trip to visit scenic Georgia would not be a bad idea
Realisticly, if you are within 10 miles of the shore, it would be a good idea
Considering the power outages Florida got when Katrina ambled thru on its way into the gulf, visiting relatives up north might be a good idea regardless. But whatever you do, do it before the highways turn into parking lots
I deleted my copy and I honestly miss it. LOL
Good shooting.
May the 29 be with you, or at least a 6,6,4,4 with a nickel cut.
