Tropical Storm Alberto

[jdray]

This should be a good test for my new weather station. Need to hurry and get the server setup with UPS so I can at least update till I lose all power.

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

A rainmaker for my area of Florida IF it verifies.

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...

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

Tis true...I forgot that most of the time its only if nessecary...thanks That sucks though...hope you have fun on your day off if you take it off...

[CHRISTY]

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

not even..if it tracks way west we might just end up gettin some rain showers but not what i thought before.

Guess its time to fire up the generator for a test run today. Didn't have to use it at all last year and even thought about selling it but think I'll hold on to it now

[mtm4319]

The public advisory statement was corrected to remove the possibility of 4-8" of rainfall for the panhandle.

Drudge has been on this thing since it was being mentioned as just a disturbance. I wonder if he visits this site.

Not so much different than some of us on this forum......

The exposed circulation appears to be the dominant one at this time. Do you think it will change. I have my doubts.

I think they do close them on I-75 at 45 mph

NASA GHCC is on rapid scan mode today! This is going to be a pleasure today!

Also in the visible shots you can see a little competition for energy. There seems to be a LLC near belize with a ton of deep convection as well.

I noticed the increasing thunderstorm activity near belize. Seems klike a trough extending down from the main system

[CHRISTY]

question for PROMETS can we discard the possibility that this thing ends up turning NE sooner then expected?

[tailgater]

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.

Yes it was an error, Belize is now back up to 1008mb.

Christy, this will be a very lopsided storm with all the weather well to the east of the center. I would expect some heavy rainfall for S FL with the deep tropical connection of moisture that will stream north with the system.

[Weatherfreak14]

After this storm leaves FL will the SC and NC coast will under a TS Watch and Warnings?

[CHRISTY]

guys iam trying to find out from any promet if we can discard down here in southflorida the possibility that this thing might turn NE sooner then expected???

[DESTRUCTION5]

Depends where it starts the NE turn...I doubt it on current forecast

[Evil Jeremy]

i am not going to rule out SFL yet. this is still the first forecast, and the discussion says that most of it is uncertain, so i am watiing for the recon report this afternoon.
