Just making a point the best model and the official source for forecasts say the west motion will begin. Still waiting on east of Fl like the 0z nam lol lol

Is the ULL as strong as forecast though on those models in real time?

I do not recall ever seeing the widespread "draining" action with a tropical system.. Is this due to the overall size of the windfield?

Our friend lives in Mobile she posted way earlier in the day that the water in the canal behind her house was being pulled out. I would think it is just her size and isn't the gulf more shallow? It's still crazy to me that she has been pulling that much water from so far away.
 
One thing to remember the more extratropical this becomes the more this gets in the Euros wheelhouse. Don't be surprised to see it suddenly jerk her westward, the ULL over south AL has already captured it.

I think that if Irma stays too far east, the winds will be much more gusty up here due to the center being closer. But then again, we could have the same due to a weaker storm.

FFC mentioned exactly what you are saying in their morning discussion. Essentially said the two solutions would have the same results for us

You'd think the more east the system is the more gusty the bands on the eastern side will be. Either way there is a steep pressure gradient so winds will be strong regardless

I will say Irma being over Fl is a win for the gfs. Euro was too far west

That’s very true. But to the people who don’t think it’s gonna get captured and pulled NW.... guess what.... GFS does it too.

Oh I've never said it would never go NW, I just said I think based on a weaker SW, climo, and what Irma is doing in Florida, the NW turn will be further N in GA versus the FL GA line.
 
I'm not very good at reading these water level charts but as I go up and down the west coast of Fl. from what I see there are a lot of record LOW water levels on the gauges. Not sure I'm reading the data or the record keeping properly but if that's correct, Irma is an "inverse surge" record setter. Hey it's something lol

And that wasn’t directed at you or anybody in particular I agree with you on the late or delayed turn

Brave the storm to come

They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails
Second takes the after deck, third the planks and rails
What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line
Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time
 
Yeah it's dropped down to 1-2mph here since about 6. Very eerie.
