Landfall track map (I know it is still early to predict)

I know that is still too early to clarify exact landfall but the last two advisories pointed a near Miami landfall (ofcourse always room for deviation such as Charley last year).

But an interesting map to view - http://www.skeetobiteweather.com/archive/forecast/AL122005ltsz.gif

Yes that is the official Track from NHC plotted by Skeetobite.. Those can always be found liked from storm2k homepage as well

Um...they predict still at Tropical Storm at landfall....from what I have read I would think that it would make Hurricane CAT 1 at least...but again all at speculation right now...

No, NHC says 65 kts at landfall, which is 75 mph, which is a C1 hurricane if that forecast verifies.

Haven't had time to check the NHC thing thannks for that...just I heard via our storm chaser who read sometime on another credible site...guess though should use the NHC site stats.

Thanksx

These maps use the official forecast data from the NHC. The line is color coded to match the intensity forecast.

The windfields are accurate as forecast by the NHC and are the same windfields used by the Navy. We also color code the inner windfield to match the intensity of the storm at the given forecast plot.
This should aid in reading our new maps:

BTW - Mike Naso deserves credit for the occassional review of our work and guidance on a few of the technical aspects. Thanks much Mike.

Well wishes to all in Katrina's path - at least we're safe due to the high pressure here. Looks like drier weather coming and more of the oppressive heat for us! Stay safe.
