She took a taste of Cuba and does not like soil ... Does she like Tampa cigars? Or Big Bend grouper sandwiches? Or Creole? Or is she hummin' "Alabama Getaway"? This thing is far from settled ...

Maybe she's singing Sweet Home Alabama!

18hr on top of Key West

Well, don’t see this too often. A Tropical storm watch. With winds gusting up to 70mph

whose geographical concern is in an area that represents only a small portion of all the folks here, btw ...

So glad to find the people a lot smarter than me about weather feels the same way I do. I have 2 different family members on the gulf. I just keep sending them the models.

 

[skywatcher]

I believe they did for Ivan. Either that or an inland tropical storm watch?

Inland TS warning if I remember correctly.

Looks like she may be familiar with that tune, like Ivan was.

From this point you can toss out models like these thats start off wrong

 

[Xtreme Weather]

And yes little W of the 12z

 

[Shawn]

Run is not horribly off from 12z UKMET if I am not mistaken. In fact, UKMET may have ended up a bit further East in GA.

42 between Tallahassee and gainsville

messin' with God's country, now

 

[accu35]

Gfs is west this run, but east from other models.
