I've heard this is what she uses:

I agree...Doc Frank, my local weather guy and former director of NHC, indicated earlier...there maybe nothing left when it exits Cuba...

[dirtboy]

There is a bit more convection around the supposed center, but, then again, it's also afternoon and you normally get some thunderstorms anyway.

I think it's quite telling that the folks on the ground in Cuba couldn't detect a circulation, so the NHC is counting on a hurricane hunter flying outside Cuban airspace to find it. If there is still a circulation, it's gonna take some time to re-develop, given it left all it's convection at Gitmo for the Talibangers to enjoy.

I think the NHC might not want people to halt preparations just in case it redevelops.

I just looked at the 5-day forcast track on weather underground...it appears that they have shifted the storm more westerly now. Tampa is in the cone of uncertainty again, where this morning it did not appear to be.

fook

[Raebie]

I'd say it's a good bet that it will redevelop.

[shield]

OH OK...that makes sense.

[Laverne]

??? fook? Look? fool? fluke? help! I don't understand your comment.

[Moonman62]

I remember the good old days when people totally ignored a storm like this. Lines at the gas station have been around the block all day.

rhymes with duck.... I do not want to get banned! ;0)

Thanks for the Link,,,The Flow looks like it comes off
CONUS and Hooks giving it a Push,,There is counter clockwise rotation in the Western Gulf givenin' it a Pull ???

[dirtboy]

They did shift it just a bit westward, ending a days-long trend of the forecast track shifting eastward. I'm still not sure I agree with the 5pm forecast position - there was nothing I saw to indicate a jump westward of 1.2 degrees of longitude in 3 hours.

In Cuba at Gitmo...there was NO TS winds either.

[dirtboy]

If you were impacted on the current track, it would be coming at you from across the pensinsula, not from the Gulf like it was forecast early yesterday.

[Laverne]

LOL....I just never would have guessed that! Thanks for the clarification! HA!

[tiredoflaundry]

So it isn't going to be a Gulf storm?

[RDTF]

I know! I am still trying to recover. Still need the foundation repaired! pleeeeease stay away

[tiredoflaundry]

:-D

Regardless the NE quad basically stays over the Atlantic. Likely to wrap a heck of a lot of rain around but that is a lot better than the whirly jigs.
