Look at that eye on second link!
Here's uniformed me predicting the eye misses Jamaica.
That SE droop over Al and GA worries me a little for myself.

Poor Jamaica....I challenge anyone to look at a IR loop of the last few hours and tell me this isnt a Cat5 now. Of course recon leaves right as begins to intensify. I bet pressure is near 920mb or so right now. What time does next recon get in there? I saw 5z, is that 1am? Still havent gotten around to learning zulu and all that. Still cant help but feel bad for the folks in the path, to bad they have been ignoring officials today and venturing out. Hoping for the best.

You are SO right. I'm sweating an off-shore track because what delt us was no picnic. I'm guessing an off-shore pass would be worse than .
Will I stay? Time will tell.
Gah!!! After 25 years of living here, we have this?!

The cyclonic circulation centered near 30N/ 63W seems to be nudging the ridge toward the west. How much effect will this have on the ridge. I.e., break it down, or build it up?

Not so sure it will miss Jamaica...I really hope so..I was just there a few months ago. It has been stair-stepping and if you extrapolate, it will hit the island.

Is it me or does the current WV show the ridge eroding and another ridge pushing down from the Northwest ? Looks like the path for the storm to move northward is starting to open

Recon is ?inbound at this time. Looks like they are coming from Keesler AFB.

To convert Zulu to your time. Subtract 4 hours for EDT, and 5 hours for CDT. This will give you military time. Subtract 12 from the military time and it will give you the correct time of the observation or flight, for your time zone.

I think it is...but whether it's a "Strong 4" or a "weak 5" does it really matter? They're going to see a whole world of s---

Personally, I can't see much beyond 12 hours (at the outside).
I've seen so many flip-flops with the "It's gonna hit here!!!"-type tracks that I've put myself on a 12 to 18 hour limiter.
So, based on that... http://www.cira.colostate.edu/ramm/rmsdsol/TROPICAL.html
The VIS & IR floater still looks to me like a ridge-extension building to the NW of .
May it Weaken tomorrow. (and miss Jamacia tonight!)
Edit: With the eye... even so it's going to cause mass distruction....

I knew I didn't know much about this stuff but I guess I know less than I thought. I was about to ask if it looked like the trough seemed to be shrinking? Then you all come on and say that it may be close to making the move north. I think I'll leave it to y'all from now on.

If anyone was watching since 10:00...it's what I had feared. The folks who aren't evacing are the same folks who fear their property will be looted IF they decide to evac.... That's just not right, but I guess ther's nothing that can be done about it now....
Hunkering down, in the face of a CAT IV (or possibly a V) because they are more afraid to leave than to lock their doors...jezus...this is only the beginning...wait till it gets up here...Be afraid...be very very afraid.
