thankfully she has weakened substantially in the last 24 hours..down to a cat 3 now.
and there really is no reason to believe a 2 day stall would happen...all models and forecasts have a 5-10mph steady movement over the weekend.
will be interesting to see what it does in the future
Seems like all Florida hurricanes that start with the letter F (like Floyd) fake us out.
Looks like Frances will wimp out also.
The shear has been going on for 7 hours now..it will last another 12 maybe. The warm water will continue to replace the center that gets eaten by the light shear...and it is VERY LIGHT. The reason the models didn't see this happening is because light shear is not seen usually unless affecting a storm.
Local media and Max Mayfield said a "drift to 2-3 mph" inland Saturday night in North Vero Beach...but the 100 miles south of it is in play until tomorrow when the track will be tightened even more.
