I would be prepared north of the cone, as well...hint, hint.

At the very least, heavy squalls and supercells from the frontal interaction

We don't normally do this but we're at a point that even with a not particularly large Florida contingent here... There probably needs to be a dedicated thread for local impacts, warnings etc. independent of this and the banter thread. There will be some good info that will quickly be lost like was shared on the last page or two.

 

There's a reason Tampa was one of the first places outside of the Mid-Atlantic to get a Wawa. There are many people on here with close ties to the region, and I agree with the suggestion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 12z NAM seems to be trending in the right direction for the Austin area.

What effect might downslope winds off the mountains of western Cuba have on the dry air we saw Ida struggling with today?

I understand that they missed the true-center to the south by a little bit.. But this is not exactly the most impressive eye dropsonde -- speaks to the structural/organization troubles Ida has had today wrt intensifying at a greater clip. For some reason the core has really struggled to become better organized/tight today, not sure why really. Not something we are going to be able to diagnose easily without the HH radar readily available. 

Dry air - you can see it in the WV loops

What's the chance we get a "Storm Surge Emergency" out of this, especially if Calcasieu/Lake Charles catches the eastern EW? Or would they just include that in a standard Flash Flood Emergency?
