Weird how lopsided to the west the convection around the eye has become. Almost like it has ingested some dry air.

Ian made landfall at 940 mbs, and Idalia is now at 940.

Yeah, I definitely think it has ingested dry air. That should prevent further strengthening given how close we are to landfall now.

Canmore being oddly informative on TWC this AM. Pretty significant surge in Cedar Key (where he's located)

Live Cams Cedar Key Beach

The Fox affiliate in Tampa showed a clip of an interview with the owner of some hotel on cedar key this morning. The guy said he felt that it was his duty to ride out the storm with his building. Where does this mindset come from, friends?

Morning. Pretty mild here in gville so far, we lucked out once more it seems. Two silver linings for those in its path, it’s hitting during the day and it’s moving fast.

Cedar Key is seeing some pretty significant surge. They are probably 50 miles from the actual eye. Pretty impressive.

If his building is high enough, he should be okay. Cedar Key is getting surge, but they are far enough away from the center to avoid major hurricane strength winds.

I’ll say this, just based on the radar reflectivity, Idalia is not the most impressive looking Cat. 4 hurricane. A good bit of dry air on the eastern side of the center.

What's the outlook for this storm by the time it reaches Charleston? Still a hurricane?

Likely a tropical storm by then.

Ok seriously. If you had plans to head out of BR at 1 on Wednesday for Orlando how would you work around this? I’m considering stopping at a hotel before Tallahassee and waiting for I10 to open up Thursday morning.


I wouldn’t go anywhere until after the storm completely passes and you have confirmation that roads are open. Last thing you want to be stuck in is traffic from people returning. Also, fill up your vehicle before you get to that area so you aren’t taking resources from people that actually need them.

Thanks for taking the time to post to all of you who obviously know so much about the weather. I have learned a lot over the years reading these threads. I don't get hurricane information anywhere else but here.

It's coming into land at a category 4. Gonna be right on top of me(Gainesville) pretty soon.

Looks like we got kind of lucky it's going further north.

If you buy radar estimates of wind, radar indicates winds of Cat 3 strength in the northern part of the eye wall.
