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.

Depending on storm direction, will either be moving with the animals, or evacuating Mom from the east FL coast on Thursday. Boat gets tied down on lift.

The big concern I have is for this storm to go north beyond North Carolina and do possible damage in the MidAtlantic to New England states.

Thanks very much will do.
Other buoys: Dry Tortugas 87 degrees,Vaca Cut at Marathon 90 and Buoy Key near Flamingo in the Everglades Nat. park, 93.2 degrees.Irma could possibly go over 100 miles from Cuba to the coast of South Florida and keep regenerating the entire way.

The Keys, being on the right side of the storm, are in for a rough ride.

I hope there’s something left of them when it’s done passing over.

Actually if it goes up the middle of the state it could really slow down the winds big time and quickly until it hits lake Okeechobee.

You will have plenty of notice if Irma would make a big turn and head north. Also—sea surface temps north of NC are quite a lot cooler than the steaming hot Caribbean, FL Straits and Gulf of Mexico waters. Hurricanes are fueled by water, and warm water is like throwing gasoline on the fire.

You probably need to get off the boat in a day or two.

I discovered it a few years ago. Good website to have during hurricane season if you live along the coast.
