I have no idea what all that means. Can you do it in "Hurricanes for Dummies" language?

You know you're a hurricane freak when you wake up in the morning and hit "REFRESH" on CFHC instead of the Snooze Button.

Jason, I agree with you. Those runs tomorrow should give us a better idea. I think its because the NOAA Gulfstream planes should be out examining the enviroment around . Am I right Jason?

Well looking over 00Z model runs looks as though not much has changed. The 5 pm track is on the western edge of model guidence. I would like to see run to run considency, but this maybe a start, they are clustered fairly tight now. Expect a possible slight adjustment to east on latter period of forecast.
Not giving up on Bonnie and would expect some come back tomorrow as conditions improve but may worsen closer to landfall as winds race from west and wnw.

Bonnie has been a very odd storm-that's for sure. Just get the feeling she's going to fire up any time now.

Look for the tracks of both to shift west tomorrow. The data from th bouys in the gulf indicate that Bonnie may be drifting a little west of north still.
I think the models shifted east for based on a reformation of the center further north. Maybe they mistook this for a more northerly motion. he has been on a very consistent WNW motion and I beleive he will continue all the way to the South Central Gulf before turning NW. Could be a LA storm. more likely from NO to Destin again.

I have a weird feeling about this storm. It isnt going to just stay like this, drifting northward as a weak tropical storm. I bet it either dies or deepens tommorrow. I dont think it wll be a weak tropical storm though.

Tampa Bay's ABC Station just showed the track of on our doorstep on Saturday morning as a possible Cat 2. Phillips is the met and he is good. He also pointed out that the model runs (all 5) have hitting somewhere along the west coast of Florida. I do not know if those model runs are from the 5pm advisory or the 11pm advisory but it does look a lot closer to Tampa than it did at 5pm. THAT BEING SAID:
He also mentioned that there are different scenarios (i.e., goes over the middle of Cuba, etc) that would change the track. Then he said if this track is still the same tomorrow, we may see Hurricane Watches/Warnings up for the Central Gulf Coast of Florida.
Oh...Dennis Phillips is not one to overreact and he is probably one of the most dependable mets in our area.

Hi Colleen,
I'm in Orlando and noticed the new track as of 11pm puts Charlie almost directly over the bay area. I think a lot of people will wake up in the morning and be surprised. Always appreciate your posts.
Looks like we're in for an interesting next few days. I watched the three wx forcasts here in Orlando and only one station had the updated track. One even had Charlie out in the gulf the other N. of Cedar Key. Although too early to tell, it's nice to note who is on top of the latest information.

Did you say was plotted west of Tampa Bay, or what will be known as Tampa Lake?

This is the discussion of the eastward shift of from the 11pm Advisory:
Quote:
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FAST FORWARD
MOTION IS LIKELY ENHANCING THE WINDS IN THE NORTHEASTERN SEMICIRCLE
BEYOND THAT WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE SUPPORTED BY A 999 MB STORM.
THE INITIAL MOTION IS 295/22...AND THE SHORT-TERM MOTION MAY BE JUST
A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF THAT. IS ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE...WHILE TROPICAL STORM BONNIE IS OVER THE
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO AND A DEVELOPING DEEP-LAYER TROUGH OVER THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES. THIS COMBINATION SHOULD MOVE
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD FOR 24 HR OR SO...FOLLOWED BY RECURVATURE TO THE
NORTH AND NORTHEAST. THE BIG QUESTION IS WHERE WILL THIS HAPPEN.
THE VARIOUS MODELS ARE NOW TIGHTLY CLUSTERED FOR THE FIRST 72 HR...
CALLING FOR TO TRACK ACROSS JAMAICA...THE CAYMAN ISLANDS...
AND WESTERN CUBA ON ITS WAY TO THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO.
THE CLUSTERING HAS BECOME EVEN TIGHTER THAN 6 HR AGO SINCE THE
AND HAVE SHIFTED WESTWARD...WHILE THE HAS SHIFTED
EASTWARD. THE FIRST 72 HR OF THE FORECAST TRACK IS NUDGE JUST A
LITTLE TO THE EAST OF THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE. AFTER 72 HR...WHILE
THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE DIRECTION.S SIGNIFICANT
DISAGREEMENT ON THE SPEED BETWEEN THE FASTEST ...THE
INTERMEDIATE ...GFS...AND 98...AND THE SLOWER BAMS. THE
FORECAST WILL COMPROMISE ON THE SPEED...CALLING FOR TO MOVE
INLAND ALONG THE WESTERN GULF COAST OF FLORIDA AND ACCELERATE TO
THE NORTHEAST. THE 72-120 HR PART OF THE FORECAST IS CONSIDERABLY
FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST BASED ON THE STRENGTH OF THE
TROUGH SHOWN IN THE MODELS.
I think it's based more on the trough/ridge than a reformation of the center of . Phillips just made another point of noting that 5 of the models are in agreement on the track; although he is trying to stress it could change, I think he is yelling PAY ATTENTION!!! if you read between the lines.

Thanks, Stormpath. It was the updated track, so that would mean two consistent runs between 5 and 11.
I think tomorrow will be "Hurricane Hell" here in west Central Florida. 
(Please stay on topic - and that wasn't)

I'm not seeing any data, and I know that one of the WX Chan mets was on the last bonnie flight. He's back at Keesler now.
I think they may wait to make a 06Z or 12Z run. At least the 12Z run. Should be airborne nlt 05Z or 11Z. So we have to wait a while. Good time to catch up the other data. IMO.
