Re: ATL: MILTON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Port Saint Lucie checking in. Lots of people out buying stuff today. Worried about further southern shifts. Family and I have most of what we need already but we are out getting a few things too.

The whole time NHC was saying north, ICON said south. And now that the NHC says a little south, ICON goes north. Really ICON?!?
Icon was helping to drag it South so not good for Tampa. Storm Seems to be zoning in now between Tampa to Port Charlotte

Good news for Tampa, bad new for Port Charlotte/Ft. Myers.
Could it even go south of fort myers?

Average track error at 3 days is about 75 miles.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I looked up Tallahassee hotel availability Tuesday - Friday. Most of the city is booked solid now. Most of the remaining hotels are dumps.
There is still a lot of availability further west toward Panama City.
Pensacola has good availability too. Another bonus is the Naval Air Museum is open for civilians again so it’s a good place to go when it’s raining.

Vero resident here too. I was just about to make the same post. With the angle it’s coming in, seems like tropical storm/ hurricane conditions are looking more possible. I do wonder though how rain would be on the southern side of this. I hear about dry air wrapping around.
here's the issue. it's supposed to rain all week as you can see it hasnt stopped raining today. it makes tree uprooting very likely with winds if we get hit by milton. crazy stuff.

Re: ATL: MILTON - Tropical Storm - Discussion
There’s a good chance RI has started with Milton, judging by how the cloud tops are moving in the cdo. I doubt there’s any tilt left in the circulation, and windfield symmetrization will take less time in such a small core. It’s possible this incoming recon flight finds Milton as a hurricane. If not, may only be a short time afterward that it does.

Appears that connective burst will sustain as his CDO.

I’m getting some Delta vibes from Milton’s current appearance, combined with the hurricane model runs. We may be about to witness an insane phase of RI over the next 24-36 hours.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

I think the south shift will stop and go back to where it was last night. Just waiting on the Euro.

Not impossible that it could track south of Ft. Myers, but I'm thinking between Sarasota and Port Charlotte. Not buying the 12Z GFS shift well north of Tampa.

We're hoping for the 1946 Hurricane 6 solution where it weakens before landfall. But don't count on it gang. I fear a Venice to Englewood landfall which would still create a nasty storm surge along the Suncoast.

The average CDO temperature has cooled by 8 degrees over the last 2 hours and some pixels around -86C are popping up on the recent IR loop. Considering how Milton is running ahead of ADT and models, I'm expecting recon to find 60 kt or maybe already a 65 kt hurricane.

This is reminiscent of Ian. Ticks southward and a north weighted QPF field. It's too soon to say this for sure...but it seems like a process...Give Tampa Bay a scare...then figure out where...we will see...but I definitely feel more concerned for sw florida at this point...
