I was a little surprised to as well as the Hurricane Center, especially with the shear in place. Hit the warm current is what happened.

Thanks, B'ham. No, really, thanks.

Just kidding.

Seriously, I hope that if it does happen to hit close to here (Wakulla County) that it does not strengthen any more than where it's at now. Last year, Dennis hit hundreds of miles west of here, yet we had a 10'+ storm surge. Yeah, that was freakish and we probably won't get close to that even with a direct hit from a Cat 1, but I'd assume 6' is possible, and even then I seriously doubt many of the residents of Wakulla County were even thinking of this as a possibility last night.

I'm not entirely surprised by the strengthening. I did predict it would become a hurricane way back when it was a blob...

good observation the reformation was most likely the cause of the perceived eastward motion.

so now that the storm is leaving the loop current could it die back down convenction appears to be waning slightly although a new influx of moisture/convection seem to be entering/ developing in the south west side


how much of a temperature contrast in SST are there between water in the loop current and 50 and 100 miles east

Appears to be some definite convective banding going on in the southern and southwestern quadrants.

Based on your location, I'm not terribly surprised.

If Alberto becomes a hurricane would it be a record for the earliest hurricane to form in the season ever?
