ATL: ALBERTO - Post-Tropical

[stormhunter7]

Recon has turned inbound now. GPS Dropsonde (obs 3) on NW side showing Tropical Storm Characteristics... from 10kft to surface. Just very, very little wind at surface!

[JarrodB]

Good Jarod ! how about you ?

Just trying to stay dry. Its been a wet 2 weeks down here....especoally working at an outside bar.

Hoping for the storm to quickly get out of our area so the weekend wont be a total wash.

Monday may be salvageable...tomorrow not so much. We had to postpone the Minimum Regatta that was scheduled for tomorrow.

Oh yeah ? where are you living now ?

[JarrodB]

Recon has turned inbound now. GPS Dropsonde (obs 3) on NW side showing Tropical Storm Characteristics... from 10kft to surface. Just very, very little wind at surface!

All the wind is on the east side....still a very lopsided system.

[JarrodB]

Key West.

The minimum regatta is a bunch of homemade kayaks and rowboats racing and sometimes sinking in the Key West Bight marina.

Cant do it with tomorrow's forecast.

[stormhunter7]

Many Hot towers going up as recon arrives at center. Bet thats a bumpy inbound flight!

[Aric Dunn]

Key West.

Oh very cool! next time I come to key west we will have to meet up. been a long time !

[Aric Dunn]

its moving.. 23.6N 83.8W is where I have it now..

[Steve H.]

I have been watching a shortwave that's been dropping down from near New Orleans now and should hook up with Alberto later today. This is also bringing moisture with it and I believe will be the catalyst for further intensification.

[JarrodB]

Oh very cool! next time I come to key west we will have to meet up. been a long time !

For sure.

I may even be able to surf somewhere on the island tomorrow.

[tolakram]

5 MB weaker than earlier on recon pass. Or am I wrong?

Not at the center yet, should be around 7:40ish, maybe earlier EDT

Yeah once it gets north of you. should get some swell and surf the north sides of the islands and have offshore winds.

man do I miss surfing.. been a year since I surfed last. still have not jumped in lake Michigan yet. plenty of waves just soo cold.

[tarheelprogrammer]

5 MB weaker than earlier on recon pass. Or am I wrong?

Okay sorry about

[slamdaddy]

its moving.. 23.6N 83.8W is where I have it now..

coc looks west of 85W to me...but then again...I ware corrective lenses...

[tropicwatch]

I think they will find the center not far from the 1pm position.

[tarheelprogrammer]

To my untrained eyes, the center has not moved much if at all from the earlier position. I think it is almost half exposed to the sw. Dry air is still taking its toll for now. That could change.
