Hurricane Matthew is big, bad and just downright scary, and we await the long anticipated sharp turn northward. Jamaica is completing final storm preparations. All interests in the Eastern U.S. and Bahamas should be carefully watching the track of Mighty Matthew.
Ripped straight from the NHC Discussion page:
Matthew remains south of a low-to mid-level ridge over
the western Atlantic. The dynamical models forecast this ridge to
weaken over the next 72 hours as a mid- to upper-level trough develops
over the Gulf of Mexico. This evolution should cause Matthew to turn
northwestward after 24 hours and northward by 48-72 hours. The guidance
generally agrees with this scenario. However, there is a spread between
the GFS forecast of landfall in Jamaica and eastern Cuba and the ECMWF
forecast landfall in southwestern Haiti. The guidance becomes more
divergent after 72 hours.

She got vaca insurance.Wanted to take me too but I opted to stay home.They facetimed me everyday.Never saw so many different drinks in my life.
Two storms making landfall three miles apart in Stuart that season--where my elderly mother lives--go figure! I remember topping off the gas tank a couple of times crossing the state, as I knew there would be no gasoline available near Martin Co.
That is cool.
Good thing that Zero got all them rag-heads out of Gitmo. Sure don’t want the facial pubic hair to get wet!
Hopefully the northeast quadrant of the storm stays offshore to the east.
Turn, baby, turn!

Hi all.
Bump.
Freebie Saturday Summary at Weather Bell spends a lot of time discussing the storm.

According to Weatherunderground Matthew is now a Cat5 and Florida to Maine is on alert. What people forget is that the big ones MAKE their own weather and rules. Remember Katrina was supposed to be ‘picked up’ by a trough? It was stronger than the trough. This thing could very well continue west and barrel into Honduras/Guatemala. It ain’t over till it’s over.
i’ve seen this movie before - odd how its predicted to pull a 90 degree turn

Your painted windows are SO pretty! (Maybe you could have
a business painting plyboards with pretty flowers and
things for others who aren’t artists!)
Another FReeper shared the link some months ago, it has proved rather useful.
If you haven’t already, the picture is rotatable to any point on the planet.

Prayers this goes out to sea.
Suppose to turn now.
Like a 400 mile long ship turning on a dime...
Let's just say it was therapeutic that year. I've since retired my cans of spray paint.
I took my wife there last December for her birthday... then she found $150 in un-redeemed casino chips in her purse when we got back home. Gotta get back sometime and cash those in!
