Eastward forecast shift at 5pm?
Do you think the NHC will respect the tightly clusterred 18Z model suite and move the track further east for a Florida Landfall at 5pm? The forecast has already been completed....we shall see.

Tampa radar shows a well defined circulation center, (under the convection) and shows a 355-360 heading. I would say yes. It will shift to the right..

Check out the satellite link below. It will be very tough for her to make landfall in Florida if she is moving NNW. IMO

If the center is ......and Im not so sure really where it is
but if it is in the center of the CDO...then yes, I would have to say a definate FL strike, if the NW turn dont happen...maybe even the central panhandle, it seems to me it would almost have to turn wnw to threaten MS and LA....so I will go with FL panhandle

She may be ugly now but the she may not be when she make landfall somewhere along the MS/AL line.

She is winning the war with things on her west side. We are now getting pop up thunderstorms in the extreme eastern Houston area come directly from her influence. I wouldn't doubt seeing westerly movement added soon or overnight as the ridge isn't really backing down over the atlantic....she's going to be fun to watch all the way into.....

There is a large dry air mass between Arlene and SE TX. The showers to our east are just normal afternoon heating seabreeze showers. They are not a "direct influence" of Arlene.
And if she is winning the war with the dry air mass to her west, why is all convection staying E of 85W.

Give it a few hours, then we shall see. I will eat crow if I must. As far as seabreeze, those travel south to north as they always do, these are coming from the east...I would call that a direct influence. But, again I will not argue, I'm just a lowly weather obsessive.....

I would agree but there are storms heading due East in SE LA. see below
