Hurricane Irma Live Thread
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/04/2017 2:02:19 PM PDT by NautiNurse

While thoughts and prayers are with our Texas FRiends and neighbors, we are at the peak of the Atlantic Tropical Storm season. Hurricane Irma continues its trek from Cape Verde across the pond and toward the Hebert Box (see below). People with interests in the Southeastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico should be alert to the forecast path updates for this powerful storm. It is important to note that the average NHC track errors are about 175 and 225 statute miles at days 4 and 5, respectively.

Hurricane Irma originally had a small wind field. In the past 24 hours, however, the wind field has expanded with hurriance force winds up to 40 miles from the center, and tropical storm force winds up to 140 miles from the storm center.

FL Governor Rick Scott reminds Floridians: Families should take time today to make sure you have a disaster plan and fully-stocked Disaster Supply Kit. Florida residents from West Palm Beach to Tampa Bay are heeding the alert. Store shelves are emptying of bottled water.

“Got calls today from people wanting to know if they could evacuate to the hospital, if they could leave their cars in our parking lots/garages, if we’re providing meals to the public....unbelievable.”

In the ‘90s I worked for a hospital in St. Pete. It was a designated shelter for hurricanes, and we did all those things.

Yea. I really think the forecasters are praying it doesn’t go into the gulf. Which it could very well do. Katrina went North near Cuba, then came a little South and West into the gulf, then Northeast through New Orleans.

As long as it doesn’t go into the Gulf I think we’ll be alright.

Exactly.

Old rundown Art Deco buildings with peeling paint, trash on the streets, weeds growing in the sidewalks and an average age of 70+.

I agree.

The Gulf would be the worst thing it could do.

Too warm.

Looks like we haven't posted a model roundup for a while. This is about as tight a spread as I've ever seen... still surprising.

Not liking this, either... that's a major hurricane strafing 300 +/- miles of Florida coast line.

I don’t understand the westward flattening they are all predicting in the next 24-36 hours? Without that? This storm misses Florida altogether.
