On and off thunder and rain in Northern Summit County, OH. Nothing too extreme yet. Cooling down for sure, though.

Here in Summit County, it did not seem as bad as nearly all the surrounding areas. I actually did not lose power, surprisingly. Anyone know what the record highest winds are in the Cleveland area? I know they hit 85 mph gust at Burke Lakefront, I wonder what the highest ever recorded was.

Yeah in Summit we got hit hard. I have had enough of winter. Usually we get snow and cold like this twice a winter here in NE Ohio, and this year it has been almost every week.

The last few runs of the GFS show a hurricane threat to Western Florida mid November.

The GFS continues to show a hurricane near Central America in the next 300 hrs. Likely more 992 mb than 892 mb though...

Thankfully Melissa had tighter-wound bands that I expected, so the massive rain amounts were more limited than I expected.

One or two of the GFS ensembles had a Cat 1 hurricane into SW Florida around November 11th.

Dropped a category, I see. I figured they'd at least hold at a 4 since the satellite appearance had recovered this evening. But a few knots difference is paltry. I read that maybe recon is not finding much to support above 115 mph.

How far can we go until we reach restricted Cuban airspace?

I am amazed at how this thing has never weakened except while crossing Jamaica earlier today. It is an amazing machine of nature.
