Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 1)

[La Plata]

GOES-16 updates much faster if someone is just looking at the :15 and :45 floater. The most recent GOES-16 does look like it started moving north, but because the eye is continuing to shrink it is hard to say if it is actually pulling NW or just the eye getting smaller and wobbling toward what looks like NW. Look at the 50 image loop and zoom in and you can see it.

Well I wasn't on the website, lol.

And yeesh...if that track verifies I hope my aunt and step uncle leave tonight. They said they might stay and go to a hurricane shelter, but this is now looking worse for Tampa then it does for Miami, and they're in Bradenton, which is close.

Yup tick W as well

Soooooo does the track continue to jog W or about the same or shift back E? Place ur bets

There was a lot of focus -- rightfully so -- for the areas along the Florida east coast the past couple of days ... I REALLY hope the folks on the Florida west coast have been paying attention.

keeps on slipping west where does it end lol

Did the west coast of Florida even prepare for this? All the focus seemed to be on the east side and now it looks like they will miss the brunt of it?

I say we may go another 20 miles west, but I think otherwise we have stopped. It's going to be a Florida hit.

Scary. Kind of looks like a skull yikes.

Well they're going to now...it looks like they've been caught with their pants down...wouldn't be shocked if a lot of the Florida gulf coast issues mandatory evacuations tomorrow.

I am going with continued shift W...GFS data uploaded and ready to run in 10 minutes
