Irma looks to be NE of the Euro's initialized position so I'm not sure it'll go that far west.

no joke this is board wide hit!! **IF** this run is right. Yes, less extreme for NC, but there is going to be wind and rain for sure. SC, GA and even AL get nailed with this one.
It even says hello.......person un-named.....how about some weather from me, Irma..lol[/QUOTE
so the west trend continues ever so slightlyAtlanta takes on much stronger winds this run

About the same as 0z. I saw a Mac of nearly 100 mph in central to north ga then. Still looks bad. Finished trimming the vulnerable trees, so we should be fine here

Actually, the winds are slightly weaker this run..... doesnt really matter.. Euro hasnt lost its notion of severe winds in North Georgia

Wow, if it goes further West before turning north it's going to stay over water longer and take longer to get on land, which is going to make it worse further inland for GA.

If a track like this verifies I would think with up sloping in far western NC Mnts there are going to be some pockets of very heavy rain.

The inland track to the NW is pretty much a lock regardless of the Florida track is 50 or 75 miles east

Agreed
Agreee Larry is run is likely a bit too far west. But maybe not. It may just keep chugging WWWWNWW for awhile longer and catch back up.

The inland N/NW track does appear locked in but if it turns 50 miles further east. That's a big difference for many.

I think Irma is done with Cuba now.
Winds are pretty gusty out today! Had a gust of 28 a bit ago. Mostly been in the 15-25 range though.

The current surge maps for West coast of Fl. are absolutely scary. Every beach from the Keys to north of Clearwater minimum 3ft water depth. Cape Coral and Naples completely flooded with a depth over 9 feet across most of those cities. The Pinellas/Tampa area will see some of the highest surges since the storm of the century and Elena. That area in particular is going to be very sensitive to any change in the angle and location of the center. Currently its actually best case for them but any swings west then back in to say Clearwater and almost all of Pinellas county could potentially be under water. Remember these are estimated surge depths, not counting wave heights on top. Absolutely scary stuff.

It's been pretty windy today, I've wondered if whether it's the hurricane or a front causing it.

I don't either, but if Shawn insists, then I guess that goes.

Well I checked frontal maps and it looks like its being caused by the hurricane, I don't see a front that is near.

We already addressed the Spann posts. Post in the Irma banter thread about that.How dare someone remove my post!

As for Irma, yeah, she's strengthening again. Dvorak estimates show a spike after the fall she just had, so intensification is coming.
FFC NWS said in their morning disco they expect at least 40mph sustained winds (50-60mph wind gusts)statewide (higher winds south). In addition to 4-6inches of rain in North/Central GA and 7-8 inches in SE GA. http://forecast.weather.gov/product...FC&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1

Yes, the winds are being caused by the hurricane. It's pulling down brezzy northeasterly winds.
