central Florida is on the east side and most of the energy is well east of the center.

Probably because, like I'm saying, they anticipate an east panhandle hit with most of the convection and stronger winds being carried in on that eastern side into central FL.

No. Allison in 1995 was a hurricane the first week in June.

fact -- different Allison. Allison of 1995 made landfall, I believe, as a strong tropical storm near St. Marks (south of Tallahassee), doing very little in the way of damage.

Actually, the remnants of Allison of 2001 caused more damage to our area via flooding rains than the Allison of 1995 did!

The earliest hurricane that I can think of was Hurricane #1 of 1908. I believe it became a hurricane on March 6th.

Hurricane Alice of 1954 was a hurricane as the calendar switched over to 1955, but it's considered part of the 1954 season.

Not even close. A Category 2 hurricane formed on March 10, 1908.

In May 1951, there was a Category 3 hurricane just off North Carolina.

Well, well, well. I am shocked! When I went to bed at midnight people were saying Alberto looked like it was dying and now it's back in business.

This thing is almost a hurricane and people were saying that will will be dead by morning and it's nothing :lol:

. All I can say is I gave it a 20% chance of becoming a hurricane and now that's bumped up to 65%

. Somehow I knew Alberto had a trick up his selve and fooled everyone. Wow....2006 hurricane season your already surprising people!!

I'm still not certain it'll make hurricane status... but it's very close. The latest recon said 76 kts at flight level, so only about 4 more mph until we reach 'Cane status... but the shear should start to increase soon, so we'll see...

it's also moving out of the loop current into an area with less oceanic heat content....so it will be a close call

I think its best chance at hurricane strength is in the next 3 hours. Even if it does reach hurricane strength, I think it will weaken a bit before landfall. (This was my prediction all along!)

There's a few places now calling for a cat1 at landfall...I think it will be borderline if it is a hurricane at landfall.
