ATL: Tropical Depression Fay

[cpdaman]

perhaps fay would like to take a breather in the w and NW sides of the lake.

i would recomend anyone from port st. lucie thru cape canaveral take precautions for the potential of minimum hurricane force gusts - with the NE heading at about 40 degrees

does this make sense to anyone else

[jinftl]

There is a huge blow-up in cloud tops off the east coast of florida....very near the Gulf Stream. Could Fay somehow be getting a charge by tapping into the 85-90 degree water and pulling that energy in?

Are we looking at an eye feature developing over land?

[gatorcane]

Doesn't she seem to be moving west ? I thought the movement was NW?

Its moving NNE/NE.

She's clearly wobbling (or maybe changing direction) to ENE now:

MY bad I meant E

If she was moving either of those directions she'd be giving people in the TB area the heebie jeebies right now.

This thing looks like it's going NE, ready to parallel the north coast of lake O

Better overhead and venting up trough like Charley but inland version. Those SST's can be delayed when they finally play out. This is what I was looking for but only over water and more towards us.

Winds from NW here now with no rain.

Here's a dozey of a question what happens if fay stall on the atlantic coast then moves west back to the gulf meanders around then waits till the next front come to sweep her up?

WOW, what a very impressive storm being over land

i mentioned this last page, her eye was oriented w-e and is now rotating to N-S making it look like a east jog

The eye like feature is beginning to show some clearing.

Radar:

[stormy1970al]

Living near the Gulf Coast of Alabama I am watching this incredible storm. (I still can't believe how it looks on radar.) Looking at the models I would say that there is a good chance that Fay could make it to the GOM.

And if it does how long would it be over the GOM? Would it have a chance of becoming a hurricane while over the GOM? And where would it go?

[RainWind]

While this has been a frustrating storm, I stand amazed at the tenacity it has exhibited as it has visited several islands, the Keys and the mainland. My hope is that it does not make a hard left and just keeps on going right into the Atlantic, never to return again! Hope and pray all are safe in Florida. RW

[RL3AO]

My 90 minute radar movement estimation is 25 at 8kt.

Note to self: TC's have learned how to strengthen over land.
I hope the media doesn't figure out that she strengthened over land. The news reports would just start piling in!

[TreasureIslandFLGal]

Look at all that storminess to her east and northeast. If she then heads back inland and drags all that with her, we will be lamenting for the days when we were once in a drought!

we must be in an alternate dimension where they weaken over water and intensify over land, lol.

[cpdaman]

over the next 3 hours watch for hurricane gusts to pick up over buckhead ridge and okeechobee , (along nw coast of lake) there will be a long swath of water that the SE,S winds will be traveling .

[tolakram]

Okeechobee - should pass very close to this station

[Over my head]

stormcenter...it feels like a hurricane over Fl...we've been getting soaked for hours & the winds are steadily increasing along with the gusts..I'm starting to wonder if maybe I sholuld've boarded up. Faye is certainly making her presence felt here in inland central Fl...having big bands continue to ge over us.
Anyone not impressed with this measly tropical storm should not be allowed to post anymore.

Or fix their IP's so they get "Page cannot be displayed" errors when they click on this thread 'till she's over.

This has been and continues to be an amazing storm. She seems to be "looking" around now with that eye.

[TreasureIslandFLGal]

So...how many of those autmoatic sprinkler systems do you think are going off right now in Broward and Miami/Dade Counties?
