Into the GOM?...........

Some of you have to be wondering by now if this due west moving Hurricane just might tear across the Peninsula and dive into the GOM. Anyone?

IF it does, it'll be like Frances.

I think now she just might. Exactly where she will emerge is the question.

I know it might be like Frances, but Frances exited north of Tampa Bay. If Jeanne exits south, couldn't Tampa Bay and the exterior counties suffer much worse conditions...i.e. flooding due to winds pushing much more water into the bay?

Why do you think it might do this? I haven't had time to look at the reasons why but all of the models that I've seen plus the NHC official track show a curve to the northwest, north and then northeast.

Southerngale, because she continues to move due west; the ridge appears to be building westward; and because it is the path of least resistance. Plus, a very real hunch.

Ok dixie...thanks. I was just wondering why you thought this. I would assume the NHC expects the ridge to weaken soon so it can turn north. No signs of that yet?

With the westerly flow, could it exit near Sarasota?

With Every Advisory the Track keep shifting left. Getting Near the Gulf of mexico now. Maybe Further west next advisory if current heading continues.

No... it'll turn. Only a brief GOM re-emergence if at all.
