Dean would be #4. We've got Algore kicking off the G(r)eeks, Bubba's set for #2, but we need something for Gamma.
OK, that's what I wasn't sure of...the north side is the uglier siee?
Gamma = Gorelick?
the uglier SIDE.
There's a thought.
As she's already starting to turn NE, I'm going to go out on a limb and make my prediction. She'll hit no farther north than Naples as a Cat 2 or borderline 3.
... Tornado impacts...
the threat of tornadoes is expected to be nil from Tampa Bay northward... and low south of Tampa Bay... Sunday night and Monday. North winds ushering in much cooler air will ensure stable conditions from Tampa Bay northward. The most unstable conditions will be closer to the center of the storm where tropical air is most abundant.
I'm sorry, only New Orleans was impacted with Katrina.
Never mind.
As another poster pointed out, those closer to the eye's southern side will get more of a forward motion/onshore storm surge, so that's bad, but as far as rains and storm conditions, the northern portion is usually rainier and more tornadoes are spawned in that NE quadrant.
Did you mean poison fart dog? I have one of those.
lol! Good one
Where is the front? Has it dipped enough or is Wilma going to beat it to Central Florida?
That front is our salvation in the Tampa Bay area!
Thanks for that info!
Thanks though, we could all use the prayers.
Did I just hear on TWC that Playa del Carmen was wiped out? If true, I'm not surprised. It spent several hours in the western eyewall when Wilma stalled right over Cozumel.
You need to eat better! hehehe. Local weather just said the storm will enter Fla. 8am and exit the other side at noon! That is trucking!! It is offshore by 2pm and then Tuesday the weather gets better. I am sure it will be rocking and rolling all the while and spawning tornadoes. I love waking up to debris hitting the window and howling wind with constant beeping on The Weather Channel because of tornadoes.
Oh I hope not - It's so gorgeous there, been there many times (tears)
Selfishly, I sure hope you're right! The predictions were for Charley to head right up Tampa Bay and we had nary a cloud in the sky up here when he made landfall. Although since we have been feeling the effects of Wilma for several days already, I guess we won't escape without a little rotten weather!
Good news for us. I'm on a flood plain. Not an "A" flood plain or anything, but close enough the the Braden River, (major tributary of the Manatee River). Don't need a long sustained rain event.
