And winds still at 160 degrees wonder what the tampa buoy will read in a few hours?

Looks like she'll make landfall somewhere in the Big Bend area.

[Derek Ortt]

she's also moving ENE now

[Anonymous]

The NHC may have to adjust their track, as it probably wont make landfall where they pinpointed it to do so.

[Thunder44]

So what does this now mean for Bonnie?

[Anonymous]

Could it emerge back over the water, perhaps?

[Steve H.]

More importantly for us in East Central Florida, would this have any impact on the track/intensity of Charley?????????????

[The Dark Knight]

We'll find out at 11AM..,.

[Steve H.]

Reading the discussion at 5am, it seems the NHC is tempted to move charley's track more to the left, but is waiting for more data. What happened to the stronf trough? Again if Bonnie is stronger and further east, wouldn't she tend to cause Charley to take on a more NE track?? Is this starting to smell a bit like Irene (not that far east of course)?

MAX FL WIND 64 KT SE QUAD 1007Z.

I don't think pressure is right here. Buoy near the center is showing lower pressure than 1007mb.

[Air Force Met]

They must be having a real hard time hitting the center. I have a hard time believing the pressure fell 15 mbs in 4 hours. Now they are reporting 1007 mb....but there is a buoy with 1004 mbs.

Somethings not right.

[Brent]

Winds are up to 55 mph on the 7am CDT advisory.

[Thunder44]

They also have the pressure at 1003mb at 8am.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1970
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0700 AM CDT THU AUG 12 2004
   
   AREAS AFFECTED...ERN FL PNHDL AND SWRN GA
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAINFALL
   
   VALID 121200Z - 121500Z
   
   CHANCES FOR ISOLD TROPICAL CYCLONE TORNADOES SHOULD INCREASE ACROSS
   PORTIONS OF THE ERN FL PNHDL AND PARTS OF SWRN GA THROUGH THIS
   MORNING AS TROPICAL STORM BONNIE MOVES ASHORE. A TORNADO WATCH MAY
   BE REQUIRED FOR PARTS OF THE REGION IN ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS.
   
   EVX RADAR REVEALS THE RAGGED CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH T.S. BONNIE
   MAKING STEADY NWD PROGRESS TOWARD THE FL PNHDL EARLY THIS MORNING.
   AT 11Z/7AM EDT...THE CENTER APPEARS TO BE LOCATED JUST SOUTH BUOY
   42039 /85NM SSW PAM/...WHERE WINDS WERE GUSTING TO 50KT. LATEST
   RECON DATA ALSO INDICATED A BAND OF 35-40KT LOW THROUGH MID LEVEL
   FLOW WITHIN THE ERN QUADRANT OF BONNIE AND THIS WIND FIELD IS
   CONSISTENT WITH ALL SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE. SATELLITE AND MODEL
   TRENDS INDICATE THAT BONNIE WILL BE RAPIDLY ASSIMILATED BY
   UNSEASONABLY STRONG MID-LATITUDE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
   APPROACHING THE SYSTEM FROM THE WEST. AS THIS OCCURS...BONNIE SHOULD
   ACCELERATE INLAND ACROSS THE FL PNHDL AND SWRN GA LATER THIS
   MORNING.
   
   LATEST VWP DATA FROM EVX AND TLH SHOWED GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING LOW
   AND MID LEVEL FLOW. HOWEVER...LIMITED DIRECTIONAL SHEAR IN THE
   BOUNDARY LAYER HAS SO FAR RESULTED IN WEAK 0-1KM SRH AOB 100 M2/S2.
   SHEAR IS LIKELY TO INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING AS THE CIRCULATION
   CENTER NEARS THE COAST AND BAND OF STRONGER FLOW WITHIN THE ERN/NERN
   QUADRANT OF THE CYCLONE OVERSPREADS THE REGION. FCST SOUNDINGS FROM
   ETA AND RUC SUGGEST THAT 0-1KM SRH OF AT LEAST 150 M2/S2 SHOULD
   DEVELOP OVER THE REGION IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. GIVEN VERY MOIST
   AIRMASS AND LOW LCLS...THIS SHOULD SUPPORT ISOLD TORNADO
   POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE CORE OF THE CIRCULATION WHERE WIND
   FIELDS AND HELICITY WILL BE GREATEST.
   
   IN ADDITION TO WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN ACROSS A LARGER REGION... DEEP
   LAYER SHEAR WILL INCREASE OVER MUCH OF SRN GA LATER THIS MORNING AS
   SYSTEM BECOMES INVOLVED WITH FRONTAL ZONE AND ACCELERATES INLAND. AS
   DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS STRENGTHEN OVER THIS LARGER AREA...EMBEDDED
   SUPERCELL POTENTIAL MAY INCREASE WELL AWAY FROM THE CYCLONE CENTER.

7:00 AM CDT ATLANTIC BASIN TROPICAL UPDATE
THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2004


Tropical Storm Bonnie is still a small compact and now disorganized storm with the stronger convection to the East of the center. She is located at 29.0N, 86.1W moving Northeast around 22 mph about 80 miles Southwest of Appalachicola, FL. Ts Bonnie is expected to continue this motion and accelerate today and make landfall between Panama City Beach and Appalachicola, Florida in a few hours. Top winds in Bonnie are currently at 55 mph with higher gusts. Tropical storm force winds extend about 45 miles from the center of this small compact storm. The minimum central pressure measured in Bonnie is 10030mb or 29.63 inches. Tropical storm warnings are in effect from the mouth of the Suwanee River Westward to the Alabama/Florida state line. After landfall Bonnie is expected to continue accelerating Northeastward and become extratropical as she heads up the the East coast inland from the coast.

In the Caribbean Hurricane Charley is approaching the Cayman Islands this morning. Charley is located near 19.2n, 80.5W and continues moving in a Northwest direction at around 16 mph and is expected to turn towards the North-Northwest during the day today. The estimated central pressure of Charley is 986mb or 29.12 inches. Charley continues to strengthen and is expected to continue this trend. Current winds are estimated at 85 mph with higher gusts to 100 mph in some squalls. Hurricane force winds extend 25 miles from the center of Charley and tropical storm force winds extend up to 115 miles from the center. A Hurricane warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. A Hurricane warning is in effect for the Dry Tortugas and Florida Keys to Seven mile bridge and from East Sable to Bonita Beach on the Southwest Florida coast. A Hurricane watch has been issued from Bonita Beach to Tarpon Springs, FL. A tropical storm warning is in effect from 7 mile bridge to Ocean Reef in the Keys and on the mainland up to East Sable, FL. Hurricane watches are also in effect for the provinces of Pinar Del Rio, La Habana, Ciudad de La Habana, Matanzas and the Ilse of Youth and will probably be changed to warnings later this morning. Jamaica and the Cayman Islands can also expect large and dangerous battering waves along their coasts today as Charley moves by and away from these islands as well as heavy rains that could cause life threatening landslides. Storm surge flooding of 2-4 feet can be expected in the Florida Keys with storm surges of 6-10 feet expected along the Southwest Florida coast. Charley is expected to continue strengthening and could possibly strengthen into a major Hurricane as he moves into the Southeastern Gulf of Mexico overnight. All interests in the warning and watch areas should rush preparations for a Hurricane to completion and closely monitor the progress of Hurricane Charley.

Elsewhere, no tropical cyclone development is not expected in the Atlantic Basin through Friday.
