so that is no eye trying to form


It's still early on that pic and what you're seeing is the shadow of a tall storm cloud. Look at the hi speed loop I linked too to see it better and more recent.

Looks like shes over some farm land now.


That is lehigh. I was trying to see if my daughter was going to be on the east or west side. I guess she was on the east side.
Didn't want to call till later she only has a cell phone and didn't want to run it down.

I just ran that animation and that's what it does . . . . my thoughts - - - "ARE YOU KIDDING ME???" Surely yes. . .

You can see on this loop clearly just how much Fay has slowed down in the last hour or two. I didn't notice any of the major models calling for a slow down this far south. Did anyone else?

The only good thing about that animation is that there's still a possibility of it reaching my forecasted wind speed in the GOM. That is also the bad part, too :(

Let's not forget the upper level environment got extremely good over the last 6-12 hrs. Notice the fingering clouds from the outflow. This combined with swampy, flat land conditions close to GOM and Atlantic has provided Fay with a boost. However, as she tracks slowly N-NE, she will wind down with time.

Hurakan,

She is stationary. Steering currents becoming very weak..


Stationary? It's moving NNE at a very visible steady pace (9 mph, per the NHC advisory)...

It was south of Immokalee (in Collier County) at 7 a.m., but, it's now in western Hendry County, near LaBelle, so, it's moving all right...

Actually, it seems to have picked up the pace slightly over the past 2 hours...

The fetch from the circulation center to the NE is still well-established, so, I'd have to disagree since it's still moving towards the trough...

That radar clearly shows it moving at a pretty decent clip

I see her drifting East now and building up convection in a ring east of the center. Fay sure seems to like land......over Hispaniola she organized, over Cuba she organized, and now over South Florida she is organizing.

I'm going to guess 10pm to midnight or so and she's on the coast again. That's assuming she stays the same general speed as in the last 2 hours.

Looks like she has better western outflow now than she did over water.

All local MIA stations are on their regular broadcasts. They are providing hourly updates...can't speak for WPB though.

Interesting that some of us see it moving along while others see it drifting or being stationary - guess it all depends on who's doing the watching...

But, as a bicyclist who often does move along at 9 mph (per the computer), I can tell you for a fact that it's still moving at the speed mentioned in the advisory, so, 9 x 8 hours = 72 miles (had to do that on the calculator - LOL), so, hopefully it'll be in the Fort Pierce area before sunset...
