Charley Advisories

[Brent]

I honestly don't know. Could go anywhere at this point. I'm leaning towards VERY close to Tampa or a little north of there.

Here it is!

Did notice an outflow boundary on the west side and to the far North west it looks like you can see the expanding shield of cirrus clouds coming from Bonnie!

Ditto Brent.. I think Tampa or a little south of there.. Guess it's just wait and see...

[corpusbreeze]

I think it's the phreaky spelling that's throwing people off.

Charlie looks right to me.
I keep reading it as Charlene.

I keep hearing this bit about missing the trough- what are the actual chances of that?

It is possible . I think what Bonnie does has a large impact on Charley. The forecast track just seems too simple using the trough to pick up everything. If Bonnie strengthens that would help erode the southern part of the trough and allow the eastern ridge to build west as Bonnie moves NE.

hahaha no.......

Did we not read Dt's post josephine? On exactly WHY the storm could be on a further west track?

[hurricanefreak1988]

The GDFL has charley right over us with 80 winds here in Lumberton NC? whats with that?

Looks like you, me, and the rest of the Sandhills are in for a REAL treat

[Josephine96]

LOL.. Yes I read it,

[Stormchaser16]

Ok so in that case...... I have to do something I hate to do and agree with c5camille..... errr how that erks me

[Josephine96]

LOL SC.. It's all good.. no worry

"Looks like you, me, and the rest of the Sandhills are in for a REAL treat "

Don't know about y'all, but I had all the treat I needed when Fran came calling.

I find it interesting how it rides up the coast taking a quick hop over the atlantic again before returning over land... Never followed a storm with quite this type of possible track before..should be a learning exp. to say the least.

[cycloneye]

Maybe it is an optical illusion I have but I can see a small spot just SSE of Jamaica.But others can say If I am seeing the right thing or not.

[WeatherEmperor]

Perhaps it is an eye wall in its early development stages. Charley could become a hurricane at anytime today now. Scary.

[rtd2]

man if that dark spot is the center (and I think it is) this storm is WAY south of its predicted track.....

[Brent]

EDIT: I can see it now. Defintely looks like an eye. It's WAY south of where it was supposed to be.

[RevDodd]

... Never followed a storm with quite this type of possible track before..should be a learning exp. to say the least.

One comes immediately to mind....Donna.

[goodlife]

not that I know anything..but it looks that way to me...and it also looks like it's still moving nearly due west...maybe slightly north of due west..

[rtd2]

Yep kinda reminds me of MITCH! (motion only!not size/strength at this point)

[Hyperstorm]

Yes, Cycloneye. That's possibly the beginnings of an eye and yes that's the center of the storm. As you can probably tell, it's farther south than what was anticipated earlier.

If you have that thing becoming a clear eye later today, you can expect MAJOR intensification to the point that a major hurricane south of Cuba is a REAL possibility.

This could become as I said a while back a HISTORIC storm...
