Good stuff bvigal....;)

Time that some of the needless posts over the last few days, cease, including my own.

Well said! Even a TD or TS can be life threatening as you have stated. My thoughts are certainly with all members in yours and surrounding areas as well as the people who may be at risk. Be safe and stock up on supplies.

more importantly we should all be thankful that this system waited this long to develop had it developed earlier it might have been a much more formidable storm to deal with than what it is right!Stay safe BVIgal

That is a sure bet,about TS watches and warnings that will be posted for some of the islands in the northern Leewards,maybe further west in the BVI,USVI and Puerto Rico?


The pressure drop to 1005 mb and Dvorak now at 2.0/2.0, sure happened pretty fast after the 5:30 TWO! I think this system is taking itself seriously.


1005 mb? from where? an observation of this?


NRL has it at 1005mb right now.


Don't trust the NRL pressures. There is no way the pressure is 1005mb.

Well, if there's charters out, I'd be getting on a radio and telling them they got 24hrs to find a hole and tie up.

In any case, it the models are reading it right, it will slide past y'all and into the GoM. Water temp there's got me worried. I'm praying not NOLA or MS again...

AFM - check the conversation below that and the huge dogpile we just made above your post - it's actually at 1009 per NRL, which may be a touch low, but is somewhat accurate.
