So did I miss a forecast of slow SE movement? What a wobbler Fay is.

Still drifting west with winds near 60.
And of course the pressure dropped to 993 because it's over land.

If she affects the NW Panhandle, will there be a county unaffected?
Is this a first??

The center appears to be 29.3 81.1.
Question for the mets.
Why is it that when she was over the ocean the eye got real big but now that she's over land it seems to be getting smaller with more convection toward the center?

Friction-induced low-level convergence over the land.

Winds gusting to tropical storm force at MCO and ORL. Well inland.
I used to live in Orlando, FL 32813 back in 1983 and 1984, not too far from an airport, which I assume is ORL. Lots of time on the OBT. Good times.

Ahm, you know what hangs around OBT don't you? LOL

Could you explain if you have time?
