ATL: Tropical Depression Fay

[CronkPSU]

why would you get your weather from the weather channel....sheeh, they haven't been doing real time weather in like 6 years!

looks like at least part of the remaining core is over water

[cheezyWXguy]

ok I'm confused is Fay still inland or not? TWC just said she is still inland.

I think it still is.... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-avn.html

that image is 2 hours old...its likely almost, if not totally, offshore right now.

Oops. Forgot about the sat blackout. When will that be over?

[Deb321]

ok thanks . I really don't get my info from TWC just happen to have it on. If I want to know about anything tropical I usually come here, like now.

Appears the center is straddling the coast just east-southeast of KMLB radar site.

It appears to me to be hugging the Coast and moving N very slowly. We'll know later today if we are seeing a turn, but, it is W of the forecast track as of now. We may see the system hug the panhandle of Florida as opposed to S. Alabama. Watching movement, I'm having a hard time envisioning this system within the boundaries of the State of GA and maybe even not entering AL until it hits the W tip of the Florida panhandle. I've been concerned for two days that the slow forward motion would result in a Western turn farther South than what the NHC has been forecasting.....

Yeah it is west/north of the nhc track. In which case it is moving slightly faster then was expected by many models. I believe if it don't slow down within the next 6-8 hours it won't ever have a chance to make it into the gulf. I think Northern Florida/GA like the nhc say is where this is going...Then inland around there track.

This would have to be one bad area of high pressure to push this into the gulf.

What? The fact that it's making the turn sooner means it will get into the Gulf further south.

Ok so its almost offshore...excuse me

I wasn't trying to sound rude, it's just there are only so many ways to politely correct someone. Sorry if you thought I sounded rude.

haha no big deal. Very hard to tell mood and tone over the internet and this happens a lot.

[fasterdisaster]

Interesting! Maybe her center is farther inland than radar indicates.

[cheezyWXguy]

Sat out of the eclipse:

the image still says 415 on my computer...new image is labelled either 615 or 645

[Clipper96]

You can almost sense that the core would explode if it could get fully offshore.

May have to refresh your page, Rainbow image:

[fasterdisaster]

Oh well guess the timestamp explains it. In that case though that does help some because it means she ISN'T moving due north and in fact does have some east component.

[baitism]

Someone explain to me why the satellite IR images should the area to the south and southeast of the center almost devoid of convection, but the land based radar sites show storms building pretty quickly...

Motion looks NNW to me
