Thank you! It is information like this that keeps me coming back to this forum. I've learned far more here than I could ever learned anywhere else than a university.

The only problem with that wind swath is it doesn't account for frictional effects over land. Also, there probably won't be any TS force winds left of the track as all squalls will be right of the track. It's unlikely that there will be much, if any, inland wind penetration of TS force winds. In fact, TD 1 may not even make it to a TS before it crosses Florida. But I suspect the NHC may do one of their "political upgrades", calling it a TS even though TS force winds aren't really found just to make people notice it -- not that that's such a bad thing as far as alerting the public, which is their main job. It does tend to inflate the count, though.
Notice the NHC talking about increasing shear farther north along the track? Any more shear and there won't be anything left of this thing.

Do you think that they are going to upgrade to inflate the numbers for the season and cause the NOAA forecast to look good at the end of the season?
