close TS Cindy will get to the Florida Panhandle at landfall. She needs to get moving to make way for a potenial Dennis, now that that system is officially an Invest.

If I understand everything I've read correctly, I don't think it will come very close to us at all because of a ridge. I'm thinking no further east than Louisiana but that's simply my guess.

But a caveat: it actually may head farther east.

I don't think it will go any further east than Grand Isle, LA. If you don't have a hurricane kit ready, get it ready now. Don't wait until the last minute.

Your house??? Hmmmm.... :lol: :wink:

I really doubt that. I see it going no farther east than New Orleans(and still think TX/LA border). Understand though that squalls would affect the Panhandle under that scenario.

Still looks like LA to me, maybe a cat 1. It looks like it's back to NW after reforming near the coast. I'm sticking with Lake Charles to Vermillion Bay.

Well, Brent, when you stop and think about it, most storms in theh past couple of years HAVE been close or in Florida. Just statistics.

The peninsula is a magnet for tropical storms, obviously, as is the northern GOM and Carolinas at times.

Hi Dixie, Hope you have a safe season this year.

I am seeing the trend east...so, I'll be a panhandle hit as a Cat 1.

TD3 will get much closer to the FL Panhandle than is being suggested.
That's my opinion, not any type of official forecast.

It's possible it could get pretty close,especially if the storm heads in a more due north motion in the 12-24hrs,which is very possible.But right now i'm going with central LA.Everyday the track has been changing,would not be suprised to see a track even more to the east tomorrow.

My opinion is for an Alabama landfall strong tropical storm.
