Anyone in that cone needs to have preparations ready very soon. It almost unimaginable what will occur in S. Florida if this track holds up in the long run.

If Frances manages to sneak through the Straits, then Key West, et al, will be ravaged and the eveyone in the GOM will be risk.

Y'all stay safe and very alert.

Wait a minute...doesn't that give evidence that she is more then Cat 3? I don't know anything about mesovortices besides they occur in very powerful hurricanes...can someone discuss them and what it means about Frances. Thanks

oh... I hope she squeezes in between. I know the people in Florida don't need this right now.

We can deal with what she does after that later!

Yeah it looks more and more that Frances will threaten south florida but eventhough I am nervous, I think the wise thing to do is to watch it for juuuuust 2 or 3 more days. On Monday morning I will decide if I am realy goiing to be crapping in my pants or not. lol!!

That doesn't explain it, though. A high and low are opposites, why two different circulation centers at the same location cause a [more]
northerly moving tropical cyclone?

The only thing that makes sense would be the low and high pressure systems being at the low, mid or upper levels of the atmosphere.

That's one bunch i've never focused much attention on.

Looking at that track if it stays that course with Frances looks like she might enter the gulf of mexico and from there who knows where she goes.I'm sure everyone from Texas to Florida will keep a watcful eye on her.

There shouldn't be such emphasis on Frances moving into the Gulf of Mexico by moving south of
Florida (or across extreme southern Florida). The storm could move over a wider portion of the peninsula
into the eastern Gulf of Mexico off the Florida west coast, too.

Here we are very vigilant, this is a very serious threat, I think the worse since Floyd in 1999. As many of you know Floyd was a threat for South Florida until it moved northwestward, but lots of rain felt leaving tremendous floods. I don't like to say that we are in the path of Frances since the range of uncertainty is great to 120 hours or more. Let say something more, last year we had an extremely active season as everyone knows, but the 3rd Major Hurricane which was Kate formed in October, now we are in the last days of August and we are dealing with the 3rd Major Hurricane of the Season. Seven tropical systems in August, that is tremendous, and still we may have another tropical system in the next 24 hours. We may end up with 8 tropical systems as August ends.

If there is a low where the mdoels have the high, obviously the high isnt going to be as strong. This storm may not make it to Florida, it is simply too soon to tell and not good to be speculating beyond the forecast period at this time

ColdFront77 · #1357 Postby **ColdFront77** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 10:39 am

Oh yes! Hurricane Isabel's Star Trek Communicator we all grew so fond of. :wink:

I wouldn't call it a true beeline. Some changes in movement W, WNW, NW over the coming days are
quite possible with this and other hurricanes, especially one of this strength (and size).

lol roland and NBC 6 are right around the corner from my house. I seriously doubt that their station can handle 115mph winds. Safe to say, IF Frances comes our way Roland will NOT be live on TV.
