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.
