Tropical Storm Alberto

[Tampa_God]

Same thing I was thinking tailgater. One just SW of Cuba and another just W of the convection.

Other interesting observations:

Buoy 42056's pressure hasn't risen in about 3 hours, but it should be risising because the center is moving away and the time of day. This would suggest to me one of two things:

1. One of those rotating centers is coming toward the buoy

2. The system is deepening at a good clip

Does anyone have a link to any new model runs.....thanks!!

[mtm4319]

Yep, I drew it right - the NHC forecast is for a second landfall at Cape Hatteras.

Is this an error or do we have 2 centers http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/MZBZ.html
Check out the pressure.

Yes TD 1 has multiple centers rotating in the main center as do alot of TD's when they first form...

SATELLITE
AND RADAR DATA SHOW AT LEAST TWO SMALL-SCALE VORTICITY CENTERS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LARGER CIRCULATION...WITH THE ADVISORY POSITION
BEING THAT OF THE OVERALL MEAN CENTER.

Can someone tell me when measuring wind speeds what m/s stands for? I know mi/h is miles per hour and kt. is knots and mb is millibars. But when looking at this buoy and a hurricane intensity scale that I have in measures it in m/s........thanks!!

m/s is meters per second. Multiply by 2.24 to get miles per hour, and by 1.94 to get knots.

So I think I might be missing work tuesday.
Dont like to drive across bridges when the winds are 40+mph....

Most of the time dont they close bridges when winds hit 40 MPH? They do around here for tropical systems...

That buoy has e to ene wave direction.

They are supposed to, Frances and Jeanne closed a couple of bridges, but not all.
They basically close them as necessary.

i think i can now say south florida is probably in the clear.atleast looking much better.

yes........we will get some rain out of this though......much needed

I am 60 mi. NE of Cedar Key... UF closes when winds are 45 mph. Possibly a closure Monday afternoon..... Kuckily after Frances and Jeanne I had lots of tree work done. Still could have problems if Tornados hit but looks like (right now anyway) I could have a rough start to my week although we REALLY need the rain...

Expect tropical storm watches to be issued for portions of the FL panhandle and west coast later today given the 36 hour criteria used for issuance.
