  1. wow, sub 900mb is just so rare. Only 5 ever to do it in the Atlantic right?
  2. Not trying to hype here - this has the *potential* to change Tampa Bay. The population, development, vulnerability, and already hard impacted state from Helene makes this such a bad situation. We are talking a mega strong Category 5 hurricane's surge being potentially shoved into the Bay. Even if it weakens to a Category 3 at landfall, the surge will be unreal.
  3. Yeah, we are going sub 900mb. This is a run for the money over the next few hours
  4. I am in awe of what we are witnessing right now. This may be the storm that changes Tampa Bay. Up to 15 foot storm surge being forecasted now. Wow
  5. Just stunning. I am just amazed this is moving west to east vs our typical east to west movement. The norms are being thrown out the window so often now, it seems.
  6. Hurricane Milton has definitely started more ENE now
  7. This could very well now be a Cat 3 landfall with cat 5 storm surge. And it's moving east to west... Wow - Speechless.
  8. And it's not just the landfall location, but the NE heading to that landfall. The worst possible outcome
  9. Location aside, how often do we see a straight up west to east moving Category 5 hurricane?
  10. For the northern Yucatan coast, this is such a rare occurrence for intensity and direction. The new NHC track has the core scraping the coastline. Wow
  11. Wow, he is taking off now - Looking great and stacked on stacked
  12. If Milton hits Cat 4+, the damage will already be done in regard to surge, even with any weakening upon landfall. This needs to be the primary focal point for public messaging.
  13. 12z GFS is north of Tampa and a brutal track for storm surge
  14. It's already at 991mb and this is showing 48 hours out...
  15. I would assume that most people are just finding out that there is even a storm to look at. By tomorrow night, I suspect many more will begin go take notice.
  16. I was thinking of Hurricane Charley and how that hurricane veered NE before reaching Tampa. Everyone was very worried for Tampa Bay but I have to imagine, the trajectory for Milton vs Charley is much worse, if Milton comes ashore at or just north of Tampa Bay.
  17. Tampa has, for the most part, avoided the worst case scenario and worst impacts of storms for years. This one is looking ominous and the track is pretty unique too.
  18. March 7th, grass is green, weeds growing, shorts weather outside, and I’m legit being pulled back in by a 384 GFS plot…
  19. Here we go, pulled back in again… Even a dog learns by repeti…
  20. Agreed. I am ready for spring. All they hype for perfect upper air setups which fell apart overnight, along with last nights disappointment, I am all but resigned for any winter weather now, unless a HECS shows up.
