Well, one of our local mets, Carl Arodando (sp?) was on the radio, and stated that he anticipated it being in the "Central" Gulf by mid to later week, and while a shift to a more easterly couse is possible and that some models show that, the folks in our area need to keep watching because one never really knows. Maybe he was putting more faith in the UKMET model, I dunno... but frankly, with no wishes for anything more than some long needed rain, I hope those folks get that rain, and nothing worse... for me... I hope it stays the heck away from our area... we still have PUMP problems, much less worrying about levees and thousands of trailers all over the place.

my forecast: a slight repeat of francess. It will inch up slowly towards the area in which Wilma hit, make landfall as a weak Cat. 1, weaken to a mid-level TS inland. it would move at a slow speed, like francess, but it will not stall overland. overall, if my forecast holds true, South Florida will recieve its much-needed rainfall, but we will probaly get an overdose. winds are no concern of mine at the moment.

Alberto- STAY AWAY from tampa....I asked for a little rain, not a strong tropical storm. Hit elsewhere...give us a few outer rainbands of rain, but hit elsewhere.
Those prediction model tracks make me MAD...
but the rain would be NICE...but the strong winds/surge...nope.
Don't worry you will get your wish. It's not coming to tampa. It will hit north or south. But you will get the rains you want most likely. I hope to get some strong winds myself. I enjoy it. Dont want devastation just a little excitement thats all. However, I am a little concerned abou the tornado threat.

I know just about enough to sound like I know what I'm talking about sometimes. But for your safety please follow the nhc for truly professional forecasting.

At this time, here is my official prediction for tonight (will likely have changed by tomorrow):
I think the storm will make landfall somewhere between Houston and Tampa as a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 80mph. I am not buying into the south Florida track...yet. I simply do not think the trof will get to the system until it is parallel to or north of Tampa.

people said Wilma would be a CAT 1 at best - look what happened. We cannot underestimate the power of the SE GOM and Caribbean - it could easily be a CAT 1-2 when it makes landfall.

But how come it seems that all the energy keeps inching NE towards South Florida?

IR image...
Christy id really like to wait till morning and see the visible...IR makes a system look a lot more intense than it really is.
I agree i also will be waiting for morning visibles.

In a counter clockwise pattern, that would be the way that would head since it is east of the actual center.
