Local S FL Mets

#1 Postby **Windtalker1** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 6:55 am

I started this thread on what the local Mets in and around S Florida are saying about Chris.
Lonnie Smith of Channel 6 Miami states a possible Hurricane for late Sunday into S Florida providing he keeps on the forecast track.
He states we will know by Thursday night what Chris will do.

I have been watching Telemundo 51 due to the coverage of Fidel's powers being given mainly to his brother Raul. The Meteorologist Luis Carrera, a frind of mine, has been giving information about Chris but has not focus on the track past 72 hours, which is correct since many factors have to come together and only time will tell.

I also have been Castro intensive. The local news is freaking out with two big stories happening at the same time. Channel 7's weather woman is stating that there is a good possibility of shear between now and Friday.

On the radio this morning, they were basically writing it off already. It was like oh...models bring it in our area by the weekend, but it would be a weak TS if anything. Now back to CASTRO.......

According to NHC morning discussion there going against some of the models including the GFDL. I think the models will be half right. Too much shear this year. Probably hanging on to tropical status off the Fl coast somewhere.

Well Hell...guess I'll drag the generator out and make sure it's still ok..I ran it a month ago. Time to get the gas cans out and fill them up...can always use it anyway. Damn...just as everything is starting to get almost normal again.

Yeah thanks Chris...

Yeah that was great insight right?
South Florida is always in the cone initially and then we get moved out overtime.

I sure hope that happens here

As I said, even a Tropical Storm would be bad here....also I predicted our next storm Aug 1st +/- 5 days.

Looks like I hit it to the day

Congrats gatorcane. Thanks to all of you for keeping the info coming on what the local mets in S. Florida are saying about Chris. I'm in SW Louisiana and was planning to be in Miami on Saturday and Key West on Sunday. May have to postpone - keep in the info. coming! Hope we don't have to tangle with Chris in the GOM later down the road. Still recovering from Rita.

At 5pm, Bryan Norcross is saying:

Exactly where it goes in the future track has to do with how strong it becomes. We (S. FL) are in the cone so we have to pay attention.

Upper winds - the low to its right is impinging a bit and keeping it from strengthing much. As Chris begins to move w/nw, the lows will too, and it will be a more favorable environment and we'll probably see more strengthing. A couple days later the environment becomes questionable/uncertain so that's the reason for the question on where it goes and its impact on us.

Basically, as he said, we have to watch and see....

Our local met was just talking about Chris. Seems to feel it bears watching,
but also said that within a few days it could be - done ! Will see what they
say on the later news tonight.

Hope he is right - - -

Boy the more it intensifies the more it seems like future dissapation is less likely....
Unless it runs into the DR and Haiti.

Where are you BOPPA? Without seeing a location, "local" means nothing to the readers . . .

BOPPA · #16 Postby **BOPPA** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 5:04 pm

Sorry about that - I am in Ft. Myers Sorry again !

jusforsean · #17 Postby **jusforsean** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 5:23 pm

I caught Phil Ferro (sp) on fox 7 news and he seems to think there are several possibilities including going between the two lows which would be bad for us.... :eek:

Well Tom Terry here from Orlando is still telling everyone that Chris will be 60 MPH by tomorrow lol all the other stations are saying it's 60 MPH now lol... Can he really be that blind? 8-)

Thanks, BOPPA - it just helps to see the different reports for various "local" areas. I'm just nosy.

Thanks!
