Bonnie not too bad

#1962 Postby newt3 » Thu Aug 12, 2004 9:14 am

I'm in Apalachicola,Fl and you would not even think a tropical storm was right outside my window. According to the doppler radar I'm watching, Bonnie is getting ready to make landfall about 35 miles west of here. You would think the right front quad would be getting hammered right now. The most wind i've seen is about 15mph gust, very unimpressive right now. No more than a hard drizzle for rain fall (thats good news).

At least with Bonnie and Charley Lake Ockeechobee will obtain enough rain to get out the drought left behind by May and June.

Tropical Storm Bonnie Discussion Number 18

Statement as of 11:00 am EDT on August 12, 2004

radar...and surface observations suggest that the center of Bonnie
remains poorly organized. The center passed over or near the NOAA
buoy 42039 earlier today producing gusts to 47 knots an a 1002.7 mb
pressure. Satellite images suggest that the cloud pattern is
becoming elongated and it is is beginning to transition to
extratropical. A portion of the broad center of circulation is
already inland over the Florida Panhandle.

The center is moving rapidly toward the northeast...about 24 knots.
Once the center is completely inland...weakening should begin and
Bonnie should become an extratropical low in about 24 hours or so
as it moves quickly to the northeast.

The center of Bonnie should pass pretty close to me within an hour or two... so far, no severe weather, yet... don't really expect any... it's been raining since last night, and the heaviest was actually around 5 this morning (woke my arse up!)... Stephanie Abrams of TWC said that she's had gusts to 31 mph, so that's pretty much what I'm expecting.
