TPAwx Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 34 minutes ago, jbenedet said: If the GFS is right Orlando has much bigger issues... What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander... Tampa will have plenty of serious issues. 15 maybe 20 inches of rain is going to throw rivers over crests and create widespread flooding. A few inches of rain causes flooding in parts of South Tampa and along Bayshore. If those winds from Naples translate up the coast that's very problematic. And the surge will still come in, maybe mitigated a bit by the more easterly track. Orlando is getting plenty of spin ups and it will be a long night for them.
