Lapses in radar coverage.

Could be a storm issue, or a power thing, or laziness, or whatever.

And those coordinates listed in the Tropical Weather Discussion are from the 11 PM

They still use the old advisory info, so do not expect it to be accurate until after the NHC updates issues a new advisory.

So far, they are open tomorrow, though there is speculation that they might have a half day tomorrow. It is not to late for minor changes like those.

The speed has me very very concerned. This thing if it keeps rolling like this those vicious outer bands will get to the Miami area in just a matter of hours.
