5-6 models have it coming into the GOM


Yes, but the GOM talk should be on hold for a few days. I understand the interest on an LSU board, I'm interested too, but every model that brings it into the GOM has it dissipating there.

Guess a better question would be, TD and hurricanes, don't normally form 50 miles off the gulf coast, yes or no?


Yes they do. I can think of several over the last 50 years that formed within 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana.

Is this common as major hurricanes approach a large coastline?


I think it has to do with the friction of the land causing the tight core of the storm to begin to 'unwind'. But that is just a guess. Maybe rds or another expert knows the real answer.

I live in Boynton and work in West Palm and have absolutely no idea what I'm going to go back to. Scheduled to check out of our hotel at noon tomorrow and I'm wondering if I'll even be able to get back.
I owned a place a half block off the ocean on Sailfish Lane in Ocean Ridge right by Boynton Beach in '04. After three hurricanes we sold in' 05, but really miss the area. Looks like it's coming in near Palm Bay and you'll be on the south side. You should be okay but there's going to be lots of trees and brush down with no power. If I hadn't had a power generator and close to 50 gallons of gas, it would have been miserable. Kudos, though to AT&T for quickly getting their data towers up and running within hours.

Is Jacksonville evacuating? I was hearing this thing was going more toward the Space Coast, but I've got family in the First Coast that's being stubborn about leaving.

They can and have, but that map just shows where the environment is conducive. It doesn't take into account actual low pressure areas and whatnot, at least to my knowledge.

This is a link to the WBRZ Truview interactive doppler radar.

LINK

Pan out using the minus icon to get Florida into view.

Then hit the future tab at the bottom of the map.

Press play, also at the bottom of the map.

According to this data, the western wall of Hurricane Mathew will move over Tampa, with the eastern wall riding the coast.

Looks like a breast cancer awareness ribbon.

I saw a chart saying mostly 85-86 degrees. Is this considered warm and conducive to strengthening?



I was in the Bahamas last week in the exact area where this storm is hitting and the water was a lot warmer than 85-86 degrees.

I get it, but these models have been absolutely terrible at nailing down intensity lately. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't panic, but its at least something to keep a close eye on.

Yeah definitely something to watch but for all intents and purposes the next 36 hours are far more pressing.

I don't like your link. It puts the storm way further west and gets the eye too close to the Hangit household.

Water temps on the flats =/= water temps in the straits. Water on the flats and beaches fluctuates a lot more and gets a lot warmer.
