I've got a 1:30 flight out of MCO on Monday afternoon. Luckily they've been slowing down Erika's progression. It might be a tight squeeze.

Yes and no, it is how they are doing it. The majority show steady to rapid intensification starting here pretty soon. Only the HWFI, of the models that bomb it, holds off until later on down the road. That is probably a more reasonable scenario when you start talking potentially maxing things out. The HWRF dumbbells along a very disorganized system right into Puerto Rico and starts to intensify it on the N. shore as it moves away and misses Hispaniola. That is some fancy physics right there and it will be interesting to watch this play out.

You'll have to excuse me for posting something really relevant to a potential middle of Florida land-falling hurricane.

Another big burst of convection tonight but everything seems to indicate that the LLC is still off to the NW of this blow up



The models continue to shift back to the East tonight but the Euro EPS (not shown) actually showed more spread at 12z than 00z (indicating more uncertainty) with tracks from the W tip of Cuba to E of the Bahamas.

Tropical Storm Erika - decent chance for Florida and possibly Gulf of Mexico





This will be one of those storms where the cone swings back and forth


And I got downvoted for saying this

It's going to ride east of the Florida coastline indirect hit and glance the Carolinas.

90 mph is my prediction

Is it true a hurricane hasn't touched the state of Florida in over a decade?

Yes, my entire house got destroyed. But I think 2005 was the last hurricane to touch Florida, unless I am mistaken.

Three big hurricanes made landfall in Florida in 2004 and Ivan made landfall in Alabama and wrecked the panhandle. One town had those three cross over it. And Frances and Jeanne made landfall in virtually the same place. Frances made landfall virtually stationary. It was something to watch it putt across Florida. The 2004 season was the most intense hurricane season ever... Until the next year.

Hurricane Jeanne's track cracked my shite up back in 04. It was the last hurricane to impact Florida that year. And that track made it seem like Florida was a hurricane magnet.

I always thought Betsy had a really weird track, but that Jeanne track is really "loopy".

the last vortex fix found 55 knots in that huge burst of convection

let's see if Erika can actually sustain it today

First visible of the day looks better with some convection going up near the center



The system is a good bit south of where NHC and the models thought it would be this morning. It looks like it will have a really hard time gaining enough latitude today to miss the bigger islands. That combined with the way the models are handling the northern stream S/W (not eroding the ridge as much) looks to favor the weaker more left scenario again.

I think your track is right but I think you're too high on the mph.....maybe 60.

Frances and Jeanne both making landfall at Sewell's Point had me thinking the same damn thing. That was crazy

All of that seems reasonable, throw out the GFDL models and the consensus shifts W to something pretty close. Distance from the Florida would play a huge role in future intensity, esp. if system stays E enough to track over the Gulf stream
