ATL: Tropical Depression Fay

[CronkPSU]

still don't think we are getting the worst of it yet and we already have no power and trees down everywhere here in apopka ...going to be a rough and long night

[tailgater]

Where is Fay centered now? I just came back in and saw TWC and they plotted the center way farther south than I thought earlier.

I think it's about 10 miles NW of Daytona but it depends on who you want to believe

Latest obs from Daytona.

This is about where I have her....

So is this thing actually moving or do the large bands wrapping around on the West side give the illusion of a W movement?

I checked with my Magic 8 Ball and it said, "Ask again later".

I figured that it was time to break out the real Fay forecasting tools!!

I don't usually post much but I thought I would give an update. I live near Mount Dora/Eustis and since 3 pm yesterday, I have emptied about 14.5 inches out of the rain gauge. We have been in a constantly heavy rain band here since about 2 pm.

She is located just WNW about 10 miles from Daytona and appears to be moving just south of due west.

I work in the Aetna building in downtown Jacksonville. I left the office around 4 p.m. this afternoon. Around 3:30 this afternoon it was raining so hard I couldn't see across the river! Driving home (to Nassau county) power was out from Edgewood Avenue to Dunn Avenue (about 10 miles or so). Here at home (Callahan - north and west of Jacksonville), we've had light rain (maybe an inch and a half) and a few good gusts - but nothing major (yet). Nothing like our neighbors to the south.

13 inches and counting here in Oviedo (NE Orlando). Nothing compared to our friends in Brevard County though. I just hope we don't get to 20+ inches.

Naw, she is over the south end of Flagler county not the north end. You got her over St. Johns county where St. Augustine is located.

I was thinking the county right below it. It seemed like the convection was wrapping around it there.

Chris, I think your position is way to far north

[tolakram]

I'm watching this MADIS station. This should be west of the center.

I agree. I think it is 1-2 counties lower.

I'm probably about 0-7 miles from you, in Winter Springs near the edge of Oviedo. It seems that we have a powerful rainband parked over us.

[deltadog03]

It might be a bit too far north, but remember that northern band is still almost 4000 feet from the radar and the system is not strong enough to be vertically stacked...

[cpdaman]

not strong enough to be vertically stacked?

how strong does it have to be

[SoupBone]

Ok Dr. Lyons just said that a new center has been found a tad north of Orlando. Anyone else hear that?

That is where it is at. Look at the radar very closely you can see a better center forming about 1-2 counties north of Orlando.
