What to make of the big positive spike shown at months end before most of those members fall off of the cliff? That's new.

It's interesting that the UKMET never drives Karl inland. Makes me wonder if there is any chance at all of the storm lingering in the Bay of Campeche and being picked up by the next trough?

It would seem the loss of life with Ian in the US will be +- some 1700 fewer souls lost than Katrina. 1836 is Katrina's official death toll.

I'm not in Florida either so IDK what the local news was saying. But having lived in SE Louisiana most of my life, local news and government always trumpeted the worse possible scenario. So much so that when the big one actually did come, many were shocked at what the real deal can bring. I think social media plays a part in this too. How many times have we all rolled our eyes at people posting those 2' snowstorm 5-day model runs on Facebook and such that rarely verifies? Or the 200mph 3K NAM for a hurricane?

IDk. When have local or nationional news NOT harped on the seriousness of the situation? One could argue the "boy who called wolf effect" that accompanies so many storms is the culprut.

Different time stamps.

Why would anyone need to boil water when clearly responsible people who choose or have no choice bit to ride out a hurricane surely have at least three days of drinking water in their hurricane preparedness kits?

Yeah, I've been watching this for my old hometown. This latest jog is looking more like a heading I fear.

All this power outage talk makes me think I'm in my SE forum with .10 of ice accretion in the forecast.

If all I had was a radar and a thermometer I'd be out buying milk and bread after peaking at tonight's SE radar. Dang, can't break this snow drought here.

So does 1/10th of an inch count as a White Christmas? It does here!

So what's with the "banding" look to all of these members? 3-4 distinct ares of enhancement of anafrontal snowfall. Is it weak distinct disturbances riding up the front, or temp driven with time of day? Weird look.

Whatever. I was there.

Camille 2. 901mb 185mph

Why not? There is a patch of untouched water in the Bay of Campeche.

Dang. I grew up there. I should have chased this one.

After a lazy day recovering from its trip across the Yucatan, Zeta looks to be beginning to fire some convection around the center.

Does anyone have the EMCF and GFS gust products handy? Zeta looks to be likely to cause more inland tree damage deep into the SE states than any storm this season given it's fast forward motion once inland.

Come on people. It's not maxing out until it nears landfall. 2020 remember?

LOL. I always thought mountains were the place to be. 95.5w

Sure looks an awful lot like we have a tropical storm near 22.3n 99.5w on satellite to me.

Marco is looking rather frisky on satellite too.

Huge eastward track shift on 12Z GFS. Brings it into SE Louisiana.

Thankfully, this didn't work out so well here: Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 353 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2020 GAZ027-036-037-041>044-046>048-052>057-066>068-082100- Madison-Clarke-Oconee-Haralson-Carroll-Douglas-South Fulton- Rockdale-Walton-Newton-Heard-Coweta-Fayette-Clayton-Spalding- Henry-Troup-Meriwether-Pike- 353 AM EST Sat Feb 8 2020 Rain mixed with snow will be possible during the early morning hours. Temperatures at that time will range mostly in the upper 20s to lower 30s. It is possible that a brief period of freezing rain accompanies the precipitation which would create some traffic concerns. No accumulation is expected as temperatures should gradually rise into the 40s by early afternoon bringing a transition to all rain.
