Any ideas as to why there isn’t even a tropical storm watch for the big bend?
I mean places like St George Island could be looking at a major hurricane and would need to start evacuating now via ferry to get everyone out in time and there isn’t any guidance for the county involved to plan?

Landfall is still more than two days out. Not expecting tropical storm conditions until early am wednesday

The governor declared a state of emergency in the middle of the night. I don't know what specific steps have been implemented up there. The only time I went to SGI was by the big bridge. Good luck.

The NHC maps say it turns into a hurricane on Tuesday, sometime between 7 am and 7 pm.

Ok. Tropical storm conditions still won’t be felt ON LAND until Wednesday morning

My understanding was a late day landfall on Tuesday which would mean tropical storm winds would be present for 6+ hours prior to that.
It being almost 2pm ET, they seem well within the window and most local governments rely on the NHC guidance to justify evac orders etc.
Maybe they are hoping for better model guidance for an afternoon update before pulling the alarm?

What part of this map tells you landfall will be on Tuesday?

What are the odds they cancel the LSU game?

That big H at 7 am Wed., just offshore stands for Hurricane.

Wow. I thought you were trolling but it’s pretty clear you’re just ignorant.

Why not use the bridge? I'm not sure there is a ferry for SGI.

Maybe your genius arse can explain why the fricking hurricane hitting Wednesday morning will just be tropical storm force winds, Dickhead.

My response was to tide06, who was asking why a tropical storm watch had not been issued yet. They are issued 48 hours before tropical storm conditions are expected on land. My point is not what the winds will be like. Obviously it’s bringing hurricane force winds

That's not what he's saying. The original question was why aren't TS watches/ warnings being issued. His response was that we're still out of the window for TS watch being issued.

It's not as good for trout, or especially reds. But I'm less than 10 miles from 4 salt water launches. A pretty decent beach is about 20 minutes and a great one takes an hour. Scalloping an hour away. Some nice spring fed rivers make for excellent kayaking. Grouper off shore. Lots of deer, some black bears, saw a bobcat out of my window yesterday. There are things I miss about Louisiana, but this place suits me.

My wife is on Davis Island right now and is supposed to catch a flight out of Tampa to Dallas at 2pm on Tuesday. I’m guessing that’s probably going to get delayed. Can someone give me some insight here? Thanks.

So they will probably start issuing those tonight for the winds that will be hitting tuesday evening at Fort Meyers, Bradenton, etc?

There will be tropical storm force winds on the peninsula of Florida within 48 hours if those models hold true, agreed?
My point and concern is that most barrier islands close their bridges once that threshold is reached so any evacuations must be completed before the outer bands arrive, not when actual landfall occurs.
Delaying watches and warnings is a concern because that delays counties from issuing guidance which shortens the window for people to get out and I can tell you the level of concern isn’t very high in some areas of the cone right now.
Again, this might be academic if they update this afternoon but it just seemed strange for a storm that was going to parallel the peninsula of FL not to have any watches yet.
