Merry Christmas guys!!! Congrats to all who cashed! .

Got down to 30.4° near the coast this am! Forecast was for 34°. Had to start the wife's car to rid it of frost.

Yes they are the first. Currently in the low 50's with a strong NW wind (Wind advisory all day). Temps won't budge all day!

Welcome to Hurricane season 2020!

Just saw this, hope I’m in! 903 155KT .

Has the TD look for sure!

This may be one of the strangest disco's I've ever seen (MOB).....2020 I guess. .NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Friday/...Hurricane Zeta was moving rapidly northeast at ~30 mph over the interior of southeast MS/southwest AL. Along the path, Zeta has been responsible for downing widespread trees which have taken out power lines and have contributed to structural damage. Life threatening/dangerous storm surge will continue over the coast. Zeta will continue to accelerate northeast through the night and is progged to lift out of the forecast area shortly after midnight. As the center of Zeta lifts out and weakens, strong winds will begin to taper as well as the tornado threat. Rain bands will also gradually move from west to east. A vigorous southern stream mid-level trof ejects eastward over the Lower MS River Valley Thursday and makes steady eastward progress over the southeast US Thursday night. This feature supports the passage of a strong cold front Thursday, which brings drier and cooler air to the local area in its wake. Coolest highs will be over the western zones with numbers in the mid 60s. Mid 70s along I-65 and 77 to 82 east of I-65 southward to the FL Panhandle. Overnight lows dip down into the mid to upper 40s north of the coast Thursday night.

Getting a decent blow in Navarre now, gusting to the mid 50’s. .

Lightning in the eyewall this late in the game....wow!!! .

Found this little gem while checking our weather. .

Impressed with the HWRF on this one. It wasn’t perfect but it got the gist of it. .

Look at this!!! .

Looks like these are flagged but it makes one wonder what they’ll find in the NE pass. .

MOB has a decent write up about some of the inland affects below in last nights ST disco... SHORT TERM /Wednesday night Through Thursday night/...Bands of heavy rain and gusty winds will increase across the area on Wednesday night as Zeta approaches the local area from the southwest. At this time, landfall is forecast to occur in southeast Louisiana sometime early Wednesday evening and then lift northeast across southeast MS and into parts of southwest AL Wednesday night. Tropical storm conditions (strong wind gusts and heavy rain) will spread northeast across our forecast area Wednesday evening into the early predawn morning hours Thursday. This system will be interacting with a cold front and broad region of associated diffluence aloft, so it is unlikely we see the typical decay after landfall that we would see in storms earlier in the season. In fact, model soundings continue to suggest upwards of 80 to 100 knots of flow in the eastern quadrant just off the surface (925-850 mb layer) persisting well after surface winds have weakened as Zeta moves inland over interior southeast Mississippi even up into central Alabama. This will serve as a source of momentum for heavy convective bands to transport to the surface. Therefore, while locations along and west of I-65 will have the greatest chance of seeing sustained tropical storm conditions Wednesday night, can`t rule out frequent strong gusts to tropical storm force farther east as well. As a result, a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the entire local area. a weakening Zeta accelerates quickly northeastward and by early Thursday morning Zeta is expected to be over northeast AL and moving rapidly away from the area with winds and rains gradually subsiding during the day on Thursday. .

Recon just arrived, let’s see what they find. .

Hello!

Multiple warnings popping up in this watch area. More added after this screenshot!

On the ground obs from well outside the cone: We have gorgeous outflow clouds and tropical soup at the lower levels here in Navarre. .
