So, instead of surface winds of 170 mph, we could have 156 mph? That's a real comfort to know.


The point is it could be even worse.

They're saying if they added a Category 6, that would be the threshold based on Cat 1-5 wind speeds.

I still don't see how they expect this thing to weaken from 180 to 135ish before landfall but I hope I'm wrong.

There were a lot of Hillsborough County license plates over in Bay Pines this morning at the Walmart.

Figured y'all had run dry across the bay and started raiding our sleepy town. Damn heathens. Be safe and hope for a Uturn. Best of luck!

. The current GFS track has Irma moving 13-14 MPH to the north as it brushes Florida. That forward motion can be subtracted from the winds that will come out of the north
I do not understand this, I see how it reduces the wind speeds in relation to the eye...but I dont see how it changes anything on the ground?

They do. They are extrapolating out based on the other Categories. IF it went to Category 6, 158knots would be the logical barometer.

But they do not. It stops at 5.
