If it is, it's certainly a tad NE of the forecast track... {wispers - wobble}

Its looking very good. Also could come in earlier than expected. Looks to be a Palm Beach landfall.

Turning where, she is already made the turn and is moving westward as predicted by the NHC. Now the question is if and when will she begin her northward movement.

I definitely agree. You can see it well (if it will load) off of the Nassau radar.

Hurricane Warnings are now up, from Florida City north to Vero Beach.

Also the path is more unfriendly to us west coasters as it turns north closer to us.

Time to break out the coffee maker...... :eek:

That's what I was referring to - a turn possibly to the north or nw.

You obviously have an inside source.

There are several people here and on other boards who listen into the NHC conference an hour before the advisory and have posted the information, didn't see it tonight so I'm not sure where you got it from this time...

I agree, the speed burst has ended. Back to a slow W-WNW movement. It looks like the center is closer to 26.1N rather than 26.0 as per 10pm NHC advisory.

Read the portion of the discussion where Avila makes mention of the recent GFDL and its quite honestly doomsday scenario for S. Florida.

I'm surprised he mentioned it given its extreme solution, but did speak of it as unrealistic. Still he seems to be concerned about it.

current NHC future coordinates keep it straight at 26.0 all the way to landfall, which is roughly the Dade-Broward line

I just feel proud having an inside source. Hope to help out in the future. Sorry if I am showing off. Hey I rarely get things right being new but inside sources help me out now.

Keep giving the info. Spann from AL usually posts it on his blog, but didn't see it tonight. I've seen it on many other boards and blogs too, but nowhere tonight. As long as that remains the case, your info will be key!

I'm trying to make out the center of circulation in this radar loop. What do you think? Is it the right corner of the larger dry area or is it the small circle of green surrounding a small eye-like feature just east of that? The larger dry area seems to be moving generally west, but the eye-like feature slightly north of west.

Looks like "The Fist" is developing...now if the area to the NE of the center wraps around, we could have rapid development:

We are pretty much getting to see the entire transformation from weak TS to hurricane via radar.

Something we normally don't get to see.
