GFS has been wanting this thing to bomb out

Lived in FL my whole life. Charley was the worst I've experienced. 100+ mph winds, took out at least 1 tree in every yard of the neighborhood. And this was central FL way north of where it made landfall.

Seems to me that the intensity of this thing is a real question mark. It continues to be the one weakness of the NHC forecasts. Appears to me that modeling is backing way off on it getting very strong. I keep hearing that there will be a lot of shear once it hits the gulf, thereby keeping a lid on it. The best chance for development apparently is before crossing Cuba. There is a chance that the NHC is over doing it calling for 110 mph at landfall.

Also wants to put it right on top of Tampa. That would be historic as Tampa has not had a direct hit since 1921.

Translation for us simple minded people?
No real defined center of circulation (one big swirl).
Highly sheared = Fiona's still twerking on dat arse, and until she moves a little more north, it's still pushing all of the convection to the southwest.

Thanks, makes sense.

FYI, I'm an older Caucasian male. Not sure what all this means. But I do have some black co-workers, so I'm shooting this over to them for translation.

It was bad, seemed to last forever.

GFS has been very aggressive with this storm past few days.

quote:yep- Charley is definitely the benchmark for tropical systems affecting Orlando metro area. It also was the single most intense hurricane I’ve experienced first hand. The damage here was significant for a storm that made landfall nearly 150 south of us. 105 mph wind gusts officially recorded at Orlando International Airport.

So on the GFS, if you let it run it shows the storm hanging off the Coast of GA and SC.... then circling back and strengthen again to hit Jacksonville Oct. 7th?

A couple of things to note from the 06z Euro suite as we wait on the 12z runs. The 06z Euro OP shifted SW a bit along with the EPS and the EPS introduced a cluster that doesn't take the hard NE turn.

Any chance to bounces out West? Or is the Tampa landfall the prime option now? Also when would we expect the actual weather to hit orlando?
Sorry I live in GA and generally dont have to worry about hurricanes specifically. I wont even act like i know them like people here do.

I don't think a really far western track was ever realistically an option. I still don't think it is. This looks like a West coast of Florida system with Tampa being the mid-point of options, or at least the one that will be talked about the most.
As far as timing, there's no way to know right now. One model run will speed it up, the other will slow it down. It will take getting a center to the Gulf before a good timeframe is nailed down.

We are headed to Disney Saturday and supposed to come home next Thursday. Looks like we will have to leave a day early.
