CECAA850 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looks like an east coaster at this point. It could make a u turn or head straight north and it wouldn't hurt my feelings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looks like it might be Florida's turn, hopefully it will lose strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not good at all. Looking like more wnw than west as it is showing for direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 no, not looking good. wind speed and pressure - at 8am EDT, 929 mb - that doesn't bear well either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Right now most models predict this storm will go right up the Eastern Seaboard or over land and not in the Gulf of Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 obviously that would be a break for the Gulf Coast and not so much for the Atlantic coast, but I'm also thinking the Atlantic is cooler than the gulf, and would help to keep the storm less dangerous than if it got into the warm gulf waters, no?

JL Sargent Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The Florida Keys could get evacuation orders as early as today. I wonder if live modeling is available from the NWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 We're having a cold front hit in a couple days. That front may be the reason it's steering away from the gulf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm keeping an eye on it, after Hugo being here 200 miles inland it's nothing for a monster 185 mph sustained storm to reach. Only time I've seen that speed is up in Concord at the speedway. D*mn Scary. The guy on the weather channel (think it was Paul Goodloe) said just 15 minutes ago "The dark in the eye on the satellite/radar is THE FLOOR of the Atlantic" The freakin sand at the bottom of the sea!

Have some family about 45 miles inland around east of Gainesville so will be watching them,, and what they do. Yes Cocoa is is nice but, not a place to be as you know if...at least she is not beachside then. That sounds like a well defined system alright. We are keeping an eye on it, for sure. Thanks!

JohnJ Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Can you still see the remnants of the Flagler railroad buttresses beside the road south of Key Largo? If you go down there you should at least be cognizant of that storm about a hundred years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
