What the Tampa Area Can Expect

I would belive with the new track and the new forecast points, after the center has been relocated, would mean less conditions for tampa. I'm not sure but I wouldnt seem to think frances like conditions would be felt but merely TS Gusts and lots of rain. Could be sustained tropical storm force winds as well but I wouldnt see much more than that.

This is my new prediction for the Tampa area:
-Worst winds: 30 to 50mph sustained with gusts to 50 to 70mph (especially right at coast).
-Rains: 3-8" likely
-Damage: widespread minor damages likely to branches, small/weak trees, mobile homes, and signs. Isolated shingle damage is also possible.
-Power: Scattered power loss.

If the track shifts further north = reduce wind speeds by 5-15mph.
If track shifts further south = increase wind speeds by 5-15mph.

Why are there so many people say no... track going North. its seems the NHC is usually right in the beginning. I clearly see east jog. I still think Tampa Bay and north will get worst weather.

Well they are now under a hurricane warning. I think we got our answer from the NHC with the last adv.

Hurricane warning for Tampa - wow. That loop current is some powerful stuff. It could actually be a little worse than what Frances brought - have to wait and see.

You're right I take it back, they could see Frances-like effects. But not Category 1 effects.

Hey qtalum how would you like your crow served? :lol:

No crow necessary, sorry. There will not be Category 1 winds in Tampa.

You kept arguing yesterday that it would just bring the Tampa area lots or rain and little wind......

I don't think Sarasota will see winds of 60mph+ though...

Well that's still what it's goign to get. Just depends on yoru definition of "a little wind" :lol:

Okay, I guess I do deserve a small helping of crow for that, but I stand by my statement that Tampa won't see category 1 winds.

Agreed. We will likely see some TS stuff though.

Hey qtalum no hard feelings

- stay safe this season

I'd say Alberto is pretty much done with Tampa now. Radar and satellite both show nothing much left to go through the area.

There is a convective flare up now SE of the center with extremely cold cloud tops that is headed in the general direction of the Tampa Bay area...

Extremeweatherguy · #58 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:02 pm

Yeah, it looks to be heading more NE. If the current trend continues, then 20-30mph winds with gusts to 40mph may be all Tampa gets.

Noles2006 · #59 Postby **Noles2006** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:05 pm

Honestly, I don't think ANYONE will get above 40 mph sustained winds from Alberto...

Breezy and overcast in Largo, no rain presently, but from the looks of this

Maybe some nasty squalls setting up for rush hour in Tampa...
