Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
Waves starting to build, this is about 20 offshore of Wilmington. Barrier Islands are really going to take a hit.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
Thanks JR for the Isaac update from the NHC. That is good news if it indeed comes to fruition. Like you said though, we have seen many strange things including storms regenerating once they get to the SW Carib or the Gulf.
After watching JB's daily summary I am not feeling as good about the outlooks for a quiet rest of the season. Originally he thought that after this burst of activity, the tropics would really start to quiet down, but he now is seeing signs that we may see another burst at the beginning to middle of October. This is normal climatologically speaking, but was hoping that we could stop the storm watching and start enjoying the Fall season by then.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
I'm not sure why the NHC has me in the "potato of doom" per Largo's NHC graphic. The storm is hundreds of miles from here and no longer a threat as it was a couple of days ago when models were showing a southward bend.
System has come to the predicted stall off the NC coast. Coastal NC has been getting some heavy bands of wind/rain for awhile. Surge will pile in near/north of the center.

NWS Miami...354 AM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY WEST PALM BEACH COUNTY BEACHES...
...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WEST PALM BEACH COUNTY BEACHES...
...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING...
This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
Rip currents: Building north-northeast swell from Hurricane Florence
will lead to a High Risk of rip currents along the beaches of Palm
Beach County. It will also bring a Moderate Risk for the Broward and
Miami-Dade beaches.
Thunderstorms: Scattered to numerous storms will be possible this
afternoon into this evening over South Florida especially over the
interior and east coast metro areas. Primary impacts from the
thunderstorms will be lightning strikes, gusty winds, and locally
heavy rainfall.
Flooding: Building long period northeasterly swell from Hurricane
Florence will bring the threat for localized beach erosion along the
Palm Beach County coast, especially at high tides which is between 12
PM and 1 PM EDT this afternoon and again between 11 PM and 1 AM
tonight.
Waves: Seas will build to 6-8 feet in the waters of Palm Beach
County and 5 to 7 feet in rest of the Atlantic Waters in a long
period north-northeast swell.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
The long period northeast swell from Hurricane Florence will slowly
dissipate through the weekend in the Atlantic waters. This will keep
the enhancement of risk of rip currents ongoing along the east coast
beaches of South Florida this weekend.
Thunderstorms will be most numerous over the eastern areas on
Saturday before shifting to the western areas early next week.
However, most areas will still see scattered thunderstorms through
next week. Occasional to locally frequent lightning strikes along
with locally heavy rainfall will be the main hazards from the
thunderstorms.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
424 AM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018
...HOT WITH LESS RAINFALL COVERAGE THROUGH SATURDAY...
.NEAR TERM (Today and Tonight)...
Hurricane Florence remains off the coast of North Carolina this
morning. Higher seas related to the storm have subsided, though we
may still see some minor coastal flooding and the possibility of
rip currents again today so have let those advisories stand for
now. The main weather story today are the hot and humid
conditions, nearing record high values again today for
Jacksonville (today`s record is 96 degrees). Heat index values
will reach the 100 to 105 range across the area. PWATs have
steadily declined with the subsidence (1.67 inches on the 06z
sounding at JAX), and as such only very isolated showers and a few
storms are possible across north central Florida where SBCAPE can
reach greater than 1000 J/kg. Some of the hi-res solutions suggest
an outer rainband from Florence may make it to the coastal waters
or the Altamaha River Valley this evening.
SHORT TERM.../Saturday and Sunday/...
Drier conditions are expected at the start of the weekend, with
isolated storms and showers possible. Above average temperatures
are expected on Saturday, with potential heat indices reaching
100-105 degrees in northern and central Florida. Sunday is
expected to have a much higher level of precipitable water enter
into the region over northern Florida, bringing overcast skies and
more abundant storms but will also result in lower temperatures
than those that will be experienced on Saturday.
High temperatures are expected to be in low to mid 90s during
this span, with low overnight temperatures dropping into the mid
to low 70s.

not really, considering. Something like Flo, it'd be 99.5% percent of FPL customers would be without and probably for over a week!
One city in west Broward, Weston, has all their electric underground or whatever. They didn't even lose power with Wilma. There were like 6 million Floridians without power in her aftermath. UGGH 3 of my neighbors were 22 days without (different grid then mine, thank goodness)

Hope the folks to the north have done well with Flo. It's wore me out watching from afar much less being at ground zero.
Sunny, 95, and near calm winds locally today with the subsidence from Flo.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
For those following Isaac here's the 5pm advisory. I can sum it up in much fewer words........"We have no idea what's going to happen".
Tropical Storm Isaac Discussion Number 29
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092018
500 PM AST Fri Sep 14 2018
It has been a very interesting flight of the NOAA Hurricane Hunter
aircraft this afternoon. Dropsonde and SFMR data indicate that the
maximum winds are around 35 kt again, and the pressure has fallen
to about 1002 mb. However, the system is tilted southward with
vertical height due to northerly shear, and scatterometer and
Hurricane Hunter tail-Doppler radar data indicate the system is
elongated from northeast to southwest, albeit closed. Note that the
plane was unable to sample the southwestern quadrant well because of
strong convection and intense lightning, so the flight-level winds
showing no circulation were unrepresentative.
The intensity forecast hasn't gotten any easier with Isaac.
Vertical shear is expected to decrease a bit more, which might
diminish the effects of dry air seen on water vapor images around
the cyclone. However, the GFS and ECMWF continue to insist that
Isaac will degenerate into a wave within the next 2 or 3 days, which
is almost unanimously supported by their respective ensemble
members. This is the solution that the official forecast follows.
It should be noted that none of the global models show pressures
this low now with Isaac, except the UKMET, and that model is the one
that holds onto the circulation the longest. The reality of the
situation is that the long-term future of Isaac is cloudy, and the
best advice is just to follow NHC advisories every 6 hours to see
if we gain any confidence.
Isaac is moving westward at about 12 kt. A ridge over the
southwestern Atlantic should steer the cyclone westward over the
weekend then west-northwestward early next week as Isaac reaches a
weaker portion of the ridge. Just like yesterday, a stronger system
would likely turn more to the west-northwest earlier, moving
closer to Jamaica. Since the system is forecast to be weaker, the
forecast lies on the westward and faster side of the guidance, and
should also be considered low confidence since it depends on the
intensity. Interests in Jamaica should monitor the progress of the
Isaac.

Morning. Gonna be a bit on the warm side today for mid September. Another 95 degree day with a heat index of 106 in the forecast. No chance of rain. Pretty much a repeat of yesterday. Pattern seems to return to more normal tomorrow into next week with rain chances returning and temps "cooling" a bit to 90 give or take a couple of degrees. Up in this part of the state we should only be a month or so away from the first taste of cooler, fall air.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
Hopefully the red tide will subside soon Largo - doesn't it generally start to dissipate when the temps start to drop a few degrees?
Hey Bills, don't you just love those odd % on the precip maps?!?!?! Ruskin NWS has been doing that for several months now, I just LOL when I see them.
