wierd.... almost hints of a wsw motion.... it sure has an ugly eye, it's not an eye per se, more like a broad center..... I just saw Mayfield on ABC news... he pointed to the area that we are looking at and said it was the center of the system....

Frances is just an ugly hurricane right now... dangerous still, but just plain ugly......

Right where the National Hurricane Center has her going. Inland around Palm Beach, up and over Ockeechobee, and across exiting above Tampa.

This isn't a very strong storm anymore. No need to panic. The main worry will be rain for 36 hours, but that won't happen here in SW Florida because the storm is being dried on our side by SW winds.

Our local forecast calls for only 5 inches...

Even if it is moving WSW, that doesn't mean a continual motion to the Miami area.

Hey Coldfront, long time no see.


Storm is presently tracking 285* heading. Am seeing possible minor increase in forward speed. Landfall extrapolation point from this fix is just north of Palm Beach...
