ATL: Tropical Depression Fay

[Bgator]

Can someone explain to me how to see if the winds are close to making it down to the center? There is near no wind in Miami right now.

[Sanibel]

The storm is badly synoptically sheared as the displacement is showing you.

However it is looking good as far as being at the beginning of a run over very favorable waters. I think we know what this will look like prior to landfall.

NHC site is very slow or down ----

[HURRICANELONNY]

Looks like it's coming up Floridas turnpike. Better pay tolls:

Is it me, or is the NHC website down/slow?

The winds come with the rain bands. If you are not experiencing any or light rain right now, there is no wind.

[Jinkers]

I couldn't get onto the NHC site either

Visible Floater has gone inoperative for me.

Didn't you hear, they are open, no need to pay, from the Keys to Miami-Dade county!

Half the people in South Florida are probably checking for updates...

I guess I am not the only one. Must be all the Floridians waking up realizing that they should of taken this storm more seriously lol.

I don't know, looking at the loops, I find it hard to beleive Fay is getting better organized. I see no solid convection around the center. I don't see her getting to hurricane strength landfall. I see the east coast of Fla. getting the worst of it but thats just my opinion.

Me too, briefly.
Working again now.

USE RAMSDIS:http://www.cira.colostate.edu/cira/RAMM//rmsdsol/tropical.html

Yeah, a ragged minimal hurricane or strong TS.

[cpdaman]

nice fun little south east wind swell has picked up in boca this morning (surf) and winds are still very light. may give it a go

radar from http://weather.cod.edu/analysis/paulradar.pl?BYX

LLC found near 23.6 81.5 moving NNW 330 or so, forecast surprises seem over for now

[drezee]

I don't like this. After Humberto last year, we should have learned our lesson. This thing is not far from a stacked inner core at all. If that happens, then this thing (personal opinion)will go to a hurricane in 3-4 hours.

[O Town]

Forecast peak winds from NHC.
