Shows you how much I know. When I went to bed early this morning I would have never expected that mess to become a TS. Its still lopsided as heck and hopefully wont get any stronger.

Oh okay, thanks! I wasn't sure if that was even somewhat of a possiblity.

Dean is right and something we need to be prepared for. This is what Gabrielle did. LEts see what happens on the NE turn but best to prepared for a 70-75 mph system just in case.

What Gabrielle are you referring to? I looked her up but it showed several throughout history.

The '01 system right after 9/11.

Okay...funny, I don't remember her. In fact, looking through previous storms through Tampa since '99, I don't remember a lot of the tropical storms that passed through.

This is commonly referred to as the Hurricane party! Little too much beer eh? :lol:

Well, looks like both model scenarios were right. The deep layer models took it to Florida, shallow to Tampico. Now the squalls are moving to Florida and the remnant LLC will probably move westward. BAMS takes it to Tampico, just where it looked like it might go last Thursday.

One good thing is that at the end of the 2006 season when I'm writing up my review of the season, nobody will remember poor ol' weak Alberto. ;-)

In 2001 when she went by we had higher flooding than any storm since then.. Angle and Speed play a big part in pushing water inland up the rivers..

I always remember Gabrielle for its help on replenishing Lake Okeechobee. Before Gabrielle, even water restrictions were implemented in South Florida.

Yes indeed. She got overlooked due to 9/11. Never got good recon. I believe only 1 Hurricane Huner plane was flying it and no NOAA plane. they almost didn't get approval to fly it. Remember hearing the plane buzzin around right off the beach here early that AM. Never got the play it deserved but for good reason.

The lower cloud coverage also seems to be increasing a bit near the center. Those pops from earlier did get blown apart.

well I knew it would be a TS this morning because my internet connection failed :roll:

btw, TD 1 became Alberto 51 hours after TD 1(2005) became Arlene. Alberto reached 40kt 30 hours after Arlene. on this date last year at 11am EDT, Arlene was at her peak (60kt)

It may not move much at all for days, just sit there and spin down as westerly shear increases.
