Oh, crud - convection blow-up as Zeta builds an eye:

[NautiNurse]

NHC said within 6-12 hours Zeta should regain hurricane status.

[dirtboy]

If it keeps blowing up like that, watch out. It has a huge circulation that finally has moved away from the Yucatan.

Lol

[nomorelurker]

Thanks for the hard work this year. Maybe next year you can take it easy.

Optimal conditions for intensification over next 18 hours:

Maybe SeaLab 2020 was a prediction.

[NautiNurse]

Hiya fatima! {{{hugs!}}}

Looks like Zeta is going to blow through like a freight train. The Zeta Express.

I see that,hope the winds aren’t too bad.The crew up here are preparing for NY but I don’t think they will go.

For those of us in central Alabama........our forecast rain/wind gust charts through Thursday. Remember - locally higher amounts may occur in heavier bands. One slight wobble of the center may skew the actual path further north or south.

[Paul R.]

“Huge” is right. The northern part of this system converges with a system coming in from the West, causing heavy rain in a swath from far West KY to Southern IN, beginning late this afternoon.

2005 or 2008, IIRC.

[Robert DeLong]

I guess I just wasn’t paying attention that we had gone into the Greek alphabet, if that’s the case. 8>)

Ice storm to my north, tropical hurricane to my south....hurry up and get here 2021.

Crazy! Here comes the Zeta Express...from the Gulf Coast to the DelMarVa Peninsula in 24 hours.

Did you get your storm shutters up yesterday?

[blam]

"Did you get your storm shutters up yesterday? "

Yes.

The gasoline generator has already tested good too.

I've already had an electrical hiccup this morning...electricity out for a minute or two. The Weather Channel says that the landfall prediction site has 'inched' a bit west....that's good for me but, the intensity predictions have increased...bad for everyone.
