[Shawn]

Looks south so far?

Little bit faster and further SW compared to 12z so far.

Now it's a matter of where it hits. Definitely going to hit the SE this run.

Hello Euro

Bahamas getting wrecked at 168... heading for Florida

 

[Brent]

looking at the ridging the Gulf could be back in play

 

[Brent]

could be a Category 5 headed for SE FL at 192... this run is a nightmare

 

[Shawn]

Oh man. 921 MB approaching Southern FL.

 

[Shawn]

Nothing to direct it. No troughs, no cutoffs, nothing but ridging forcing it into FL, possible over into the Gulf

 

[Brent]

this is going to the Gulf absolutely awful run

[accu35]

921 mb, GO AWAY!!!

 

[Shawn]

Worst case scenario. I'll get the in-between frames soon for pressure.. but this has Cat 5 into FL, into the Gulf as atleast Cat 3 then restrengthen all over it.

 

[Brent]

Andrew strength but much larger disaster run for Miami

 

[Shawn]

Okay looking at better maps, It's coming NW.... this could be bad for FL, GA, SC.

 

[Shawn]

What is causing the strong hook NW on frame 192 & 204?!

 

[Shawn]

What?

 

[Shawn]

 

[Brent]

ok so this is Floyd again cancel the Gulf
