Don’t forget to support storm2k, guys. The season is upon us. They are an invaluable source at times such as this.

little bit of land friction looks like its starting to help it out briefly and little bit of convection building right around the center..

Finally found hurricane force flight level winds:

957mb 115° (from the ESE) 61 knots (70 mph)
944mb 115° (from the ESE) 59 knots (68 mph)
914mb 120° (from the ESE) 66 knots (76 mph)

[wxman57]

I had forgotten about that South Florida Water Management District website (radar). It has the NHC track plotted on a radar loop. Looking like MS/AL border on that loop.

I don't see those reports in the HD obs. Nothing close. Peak FL wind so far is 51 kts. Here's the vortex report with the peak FL winds:

Has not deepened.

[storm_in_a_teacup]

Just glad Gordon is just a FLASH in the pan, shouldn't really do much if any damage. People on the Gulf Coast get these type of storms almost every week

Unless you have toadlets you raised from tadpoles and then released eking out a living in a storm drain.

Then the otherwise middling tropical storm might drown your precious little toadlets.

Tropical Storm Fay 2002 never forget.

[SCUBAdude]

I live on the beach here in Gulf Shores. Just got pretty calm right now and I just heard the hurricane hunters fly over. Unless there is another C-130 flying around in this storm.

[stormhunter7]

Dang, I should of bookef a flight, AA1235 from Houston to Miami!

Folks if you look out left window and below... That is TS Gordon... If you look at right window, thats the open GOM. lol

SFMR likely not recording due to shoaling issues. Nothing to suggest it is a hurricane.

That link right below yours shows NOAA42 flew right over Gulf Shores a few minutes ago.

I've been watching Allan Sealls (WKRG 5 Mobile) for the last hour or so..I've watched him many times before... but I have to say those of us in the Pensacola/Mobile area are darn lucky to have him and his expertise at our disposal.

I agree whole heartedly! He has won numerous awards for his outstanding work as a met.
