Bonnie Advisories
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Well, the buoy in question has been reporting rapidly increasing winds and dropping pressure all night/morning, seas have risen 5 ft in the last 8 hours and windspeed has been sustained at over 30knts since 5am... check it out
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.p ... tion=42001
Looking at all the evidence, there isnt much to stop her from becoming a hurricane.
ULL to the east is helping vent that sector, Front to the northwest is also doing the same. Gulf of mexico waters are very warm and she has yet to pass over the warmest part. She has developed that SW-NE orientation. Convection is now over the center, and outflow looks excellent. IMO she looks almost as good as charlie this morning, just a tad bit smaller

Surface winds are supposed to be weaker than at flight level.
I see the buoy data, but I don't understand the vortex message is showing a weaker storm. Maybe they didn't get into center, why the pressure is higher and also, the northern quad may have weaker winds.

If my approx. calculation is correct wouldn't this buoy be about 20-30 miles east of the center now?
That is SCARY!!!

Hey Dixie!
A little more excitement than we would like to have right now, wouldn't you agree?

Dixie...
You are getting out just in time. Our older daughter is going back to Gainesville tomorrow to move into her apartment and we are planning (hoping?) to help her set the apartment up over the weekend. At least that's the plan--the good news is we already have reserved our hotel room in Gainesville for Friday night!!

1pm Bonnie-65 mph winds, Hurr. Warnings may be required
Tropical Storm Bonnie Intermediate Advisory Number 14a
Statement as of 1:00 PM CDT on August 11, 2004
...Bonnie accelerating northeastward and getting stronger...
a Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch remain in effect
for the Florida Panhandle and northwest Florida from the
Alabama/Florida border eastward to the mouth of the Suwanee River.
A Hurricane Warning may be required for portions of the watch area
later today.
At 1 PM CDT...1800z...the center of Tropical Storm Bonnie was
located near latitude 26.2 north...longitude 89.5 west or about
205 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Bonnie is moving toward the northeast near 12 mph. This general
motion...with a gradual increase in forward speed...is expected to
continue for the next 24 hours. On the forecast track...Bonnie is
expected to make landfall in the Florida Panhandle Thursday
morning.
Maximum sustained winds recently measured by reconnaissance
aircraft are 65 mph...with higher gusts...and reports also
indicate that a small eye may be forming. Additional
strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours and Bonnie
could become a hurricane later tonight or Thursday morning.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from
the center. NOAA buoy 42001 located just east of the center of
Bonnie reported a 10-minute average wind of 56 mph with a gust
to 67 mph during the past few hours.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1000 mb...29.53 inches.
Coastal storm surge flooding of 2 to 4 feet above normal tide
levels...along with large and dangerous battering waves...can be
expected near and to the right of where the center makes landfall.
Recent heavy rainfall over the Florida Panhandle has saturated the
ground. Additional rainfall accumulations of 4 to 6 inches...with
isolated higher amounts...can be expected near the path of Bonnie
by Thursday morning.
Repeating the 1 PM CDT position...26.2 N... 89.5w. Movement
toward...northeast near 12 mph. Maximum sustained
winds... 65 mph. Minimum central pressure...1000 mb.

True, but at the same time we could get backing flow as the trough digs deeper. The trough is still relatively flat right now, allowing for an ENE movement. But as it digs in, that may switch the flow back around. Think Tropical Storm Josephine in 1996.
