Yes a growing "pop".

We had a 1/4" band and some light winds come through earlier tonight. I was heading out to Popeyes in Elmwood and saw dark grey skies to the east and south. It wasn't much, but I'm always willing to take whatever tropical action I can get. Even if it's outflow clouds to watch, you know it's tropical season.
Interestingly, Bob Breck mentioned tonight that the NHC had some "animated" discussions over whether or not this system should have been re-named Ivan. He opined that it perhaps has to do with the insurance industry but definitely said there was "pressure" (whatever that means). I haven't checked the buoys, but he said pressures were falling in the western Gulf and not east of the Mouth, so that would indicate (that even though it appears to be moving pretty slowly), the trek toward the NW Gulf should continue.

Quick note on Jeanne - some of the models are bringing her inland in Florida, but curving her up fairly close to the coastal areas through GA/SC. If this were late August or early September, it's hard to imagine a tougher track for interests on the SE Coast. It will be very interesting to see how things go down with Jeanne.
