Tropical Storm Isaac
NOAA/NHC ^ | 22 August 2012 | NOAA/NHC

Posted on 08/22/2012 1:47:19 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Tropical Storm Isaac threatens to dampen the Republican National Convention Monday in Tampa, Florida. National media outlets are having a grand time anticipating a Grand Old Party washout. Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn (D) announced Wednesday that he is absolutely prepared to call off the convention next week, with anticipated attendance of 70,000 delegates, party officials, journalists, protesters and others. Buckhorn has not indicated that he would attempt to mitigate liberal protests or a hastily planned Joe "Plugs" Biden visit to Tampa during the convention.

Time will tell. Stay tuned...

The only thing I would disagree with Masters on is his assertion of 88 degree water. While there are pockets of it and even higher in Fla. Bay, Mollasses reef light right now is 84.6 with the highest in the last 24 hours 85. Still a few degrees above normal but not 88. The stream typically runs between 80 and 84 degrees. in the winter it can get into the high 70’s. There are warmer pockets but 88 is really up there. You might find some 88 degree water near the Cuban shore but even then when all this rain comes down and the wind blows water temps usually go the other way.

Watching the convoys of linemen and the cherry-pickers headed toward the storm areas always causes a big lump to form in my throat. It’s another reason I love this big, beautiful country.

I suspect its too late for the Atlas 5 on the pad at the Cape. The rare 4 AM t-storm last night saw to that. Update: Spaceflightnow.com says they are rolling back.

As best I can tell, there isn’t a closed, measurable eyewall at this point. Current center track point crosses the lower Keys, east of Key West.

Thanks NN, as always for the great updates. Hope our friends in Tampa stay safe. The good news is, that the wet weather should keep folks inside, so occupy won’t have many folks to mess with.

Thank you again, and
May God keep watch.
Tatt

I am well thank you Rodguy - I didn’t make it to the keys yet as I ended up back in school (and at my age eh?), and just got sideways with stuff.

Stay safe. It was beautiful here in Delray Beach today. Well, overcast, but not stormy (like yesterday and especially last night, we had terrible lightning).
