This new burst of convection may send this thing to the moon overnight

Yep, easily Cat 3 by morning. With how small it is currently, I wonder if we can push the 900mb level for the first time in years.

Milton is looking more ominous tonight. The IR sat shows an expanding CDO and continued organization. The situation for FL is looking more ominous. Landfall as a major with increasing forward speed will expand the damage inland across the entire FL peninsula. This severely threatens central FL and presents coastal threats of wind and surge damage on the east coast.

They are really not ready for this on the west coast of FL after Helene. Tampa Bay - St. Pete area hasn't experienced this kind of impact in a lifetime. It's time to send some prayers up for our FL brothers.

Probably Wilma was the last one I can remember with RI like this

Yeah 1848 nearly every home in Tampa was destroyed so yeah...

And that was with hardly any population. The article about 1848 mentions uninhabited Florida lol

Snow_chaser · 2024-10-06T23:21:06-0400

Is it supposed to get bigger or stay about the same size wise?
