What will sarasota fl see from arlene?

[Noah]

As an almost hit from charlie when i was int ampa and my family getting pounded by charlie instead..what will this arlene do fo sarasota, am i right its already tracking more east from its original track?

[Rainband]

It's right on track. You should see some breezy conditions and some fast moving rain. Nothing much more.

[StormChasr]

Very little for the Fla peninsula. Some mild stormy conditions--- 1-3 or so inches of rain total, and winds 15-20 MPH.

cant rule out a fast moving weak tornado as well!

[Aquawind]

Yep.. Definatley Breezy here today.. 2004 in the air.. We have another round coming up from the south.. A Tornado watch till 11pm.. with another issued further north likely.. Don't go swimming at the beach for a day or so.

Sarasota looks like getting some pretty good storms right now and probably most of the nite ..Looks like I should get some in about a hour...

Yes, I noticed that band coming in. Looks like it's raining pretty good there right about now.

I'm at the beach just north of Sarasota (southend of Tampa Bay). We haven't gotten much this afternoon or evening. The surf is building, but it isn't much at this point. We've had winds up to 45 mph.

There were plenty of surfers out until dark and a few people like me walking the beach tonite. Looks like we'll have some beach erosion over the next 24 hours.

This latest feederband seems to have lost some of its original punch, but I believe we are now in a tornado watch.

No big deal here. Just your normal tropical blow and nothing like last year's big four. (thank goodness!)

Still raining here in Sarasota. Bit breezy but all in all just about what we've learned to expect from a system well to our west. Hoping things clear out by Sunday but until then, we will enjoy the rain as it build up our water supplies...

[HurricaneGirl]

That's good! A little spinoff crap won't hurt anyone.

[Terry]

The waves here on Anna Maria didn't increase at all over night and there is actually blue sky this morning. Woo Hoo. Nothing at all like when Ivan passed to our west.

Those still in the path - stay safe and keep a watch out for tornados. This thing will pass quickly.

[HurricaneGirl]

That's good Terry. I hope you guys have a nice day and things will dry out down there a bit.

Rained all night (weather radio woke us up three times for a severe Tstorm warning, Special Marine Warning and then a Tornado Warning) but now it's just drizzling a bit, the skies are clearing, and the lake behind us is creeping into my back yard. Going back to sleep for a few...best wishes for a safe visit from Arlene for our friends to the North...

Here in Central most Central Florida, there is a slight continuous seabreeze, moist warm air(free sauna). I saw some blue sky a while ago and if the sun gets out we will get some thunderstorms this afternoon. I know that Arlene has not done her worst yet, but I have noticed that the less significant a storm is the more colorful it is on satellite and the more powerful it is the less colorful it looks on colorized satellite. This observation is from looking at that Tutt out in the East between 50 and 60 this morning. It looks so mean on Colorized satellite.
