ATL: Tropical Depression Fay

[Stangfriik]

What i think would be hilarious is if Fay never gets to water, turns north then northwest, then west and then tracks all the way across Florida again!

From that radar a few posts back, it seems like it's already going due north but it looks form nne on satellite though

[Clipper96]

The core tiny eye is still there, and perfectly round: http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.ph ... R&loop=yes

....The old pinhole eye is still spinning at the SW corner of what looks like a new larger eye forming.

thought that too awhile back, but I'm no longer convinced. The bigger "eye", if you can call it that, doesn't have enough integrity to prevent inflow from reached the smaller core inside, and that core's backside eyewall cells have been increasing in intensity over the last hour.

Is it possible that the trough leaves Fay off the coast of Florida and the high pushes Fay down to the south?

[LowndesCoFire]

Pro-Mets please say that Fay may not be as bad that it was thought to be just 6 hours ago for the NE FL/SE GA area.......please...and for all others too...

A nice rainy TD would be nice around here.

Yeah, and Isadore had the entire GOM to work with starting from the Yucatan to the NGOM coast... It was quite the dry storm in Biloxi, hardly any rain, but it did have a large wind field and brought with it quite a storm surge.. 8.5 feet in Biloxi for only TS winds...

Frank - you are so right about Isadore. I'm sure you recognize these places. And this was as the storm was winding down!! Remember, Treasure Bay got the doo doo knocked out of 'em... I also remember all the baby least terns dead all along the sea wall - sad sight...

Since she is exiting the coast a little south of what was projected, is it possible that her 3rd landfall prediction may move a little bit south of St. Augustine?

Nothing is out of the realm of possibly when it comes to Fay *Spears*!!!

NHC just issued a hurricane watch for the California Coast from LA to SF. Also just issued tropical storm watch for London.

ut-uh. Jim Cantore starts live reports from the mouth ot the Thames River in the morning.......
And Mike Sidell is headed to Capetown.

"AFTER FAY'S UNEXPECTED STRENGTHENING EPISODE OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA EARLIER TODAY...THE STORM IS NOW BEHAVING IN A MORE NORMAL FASHION." NHC 11pm


How long will she stay normal...stay tuned

[TexasSam]

I think fay is on a whirlwind vacation, just stops to look around from time to time...
That or She's trying out for the first red spot on Earth, or even Jupiter...
As for the drinking, I have been doing that, and if this keeps up I'm going to need a much bigger monitor, or new glasses....

Izzy was a fun storm, remember it well... Treasure Bay got pounded... nice pixs Ixoilb... sat out in my front yard on the beach in a lawn chair enjoying the 50 plus mph winds and watch the Collesium pier wash up in front of my house... awesome experience... exept when the Biloxi police wanted to arrest me, for sitting in my lawn chair during the TS.. that was really funny...

Man Charlie Crist has really ticked off the ladies. Francis, Jeannette, Wilma and now Fay. Oh yeah and Ivan. I forgot.

Frances, Jeanne, Ivan, and Wilma were on Jeb's watch if I'm not mistaken...

SFT

I think it is a "party" thing with the female hurricanes.....

Can't stand either Governor lol

[Clipper96]

I have suddenly become more skeptical of westward tracks, for the following reason: http://adds.aviationweather.gov/satelli ... g&itype=wv

The Texas cut-off low is getting bigger and moving southeast.

[capepoint]

Where's Joe Bastardi?? What's he saying? Just curious

Ohh...I know this one! Cat 5 into NYC and Long Island by Sunday, Monday at the latest.

Was I right??????????

[fasterdisaster]

This is insanity. There is absolutely NO way that wasn't at the VERY LEAST 90 mph over land looking at that loop. And that does look like an EWRC over water, but for obvious reasons I have doubts. Even if land is getting to her head though it doesn't matter as she's only a few hours away from water where I'm almost certain she'll become a hurricane.

[deltadog03]

She is about 15 miles or so from going into the water.

Agreed
