Yes those conch's don't like to leave their island home.
Don't blame them really, it's not a pleasant drive over that two lane highway into Dade County. However, it's better than being underwater and possibly loose your only highway in or out after the storm.

I think it will hit close where NHC and model consensus shows 48 hours from now. I don't think Florida panhandle or Pensacola.

I don't see it moving much north of the FL Keys. NHC has it nailed this time folks.

The Double Trouble Twins...

Rita looks better at this stage of the game than Kat did...unfortunately...what is that dry spot in the center? Is that the eye forming or what?

Max Mayfield, on local CBS, just alluded to the fact that there's a little shift to the north for the next advisory....didn't specify much, but the met asked him "any surprises, any major changes?", and Max said "just a little shift to the north which might put hurricane force winds up this direction"....now, that concerns me, but we'll know for certain when the 11am comes out....

He also reminded everyone that this could be a category 2 by the time it's in the Keys area, so to prepare for a 3 (they recommend preparing for a storm 1 category above their prediction).

Latest loop still shows a slight north of west movement. Is high pressure suppose to push Rita more to the south, or is this movement staying the same the next 24-36 hours? Makes a huge difference for South Fl.

According to recon, the center of circulation is at the very south end of that dry area, just east of the new blob of convection.

I think we'll see this start to wrap around today, with a fairly symetrical system by this evening.

To me, it looks as though that gulf high is beginning to retreat a little to the west.
