Some current calculations for Hurricane Jeanne

[ColdFront77]

1pm to 3pm: 33.7 miles | 3pm to 5pm: 25.5 miles

The National Hurricane Center has landfall over or near Vero Beach, 101 miles from the 5:00 PM Eastern position.
At it's current speed from now beyond 8 hours... landfall will be between Midnight and 12:30 AM Eastern.

However, NHC has 118 miles of movement for the next 12 hours. That comes to 9.83 mph. That would make
landfall in 10 hours, 16 minutes from 5:00 PM Eastern.

Let me guess...

Landfall will be sometime during or right after
the satellite eclipse

btw... what is the eclipse time span tonight ??

Yes, unfortunately it's likely that the satellite eclipse will be in progress when landfall takes place.

The eclipse goes from 11:45 PM to 2:45 AM Eastern.

Jeanne has moved due west 18.3 miles in the last two hours (between 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm). This is a 3.6 mph slow down.
