Looks like recon is descending. Down to ~10,000'.

NASA's Geos-5 has it pretty much meander in the same area, just stronger by Thursday. This model is still running it's 00Z run, kinda waits to make sure it starts in the right place.. It's up to 120hrs, where is moving west..

TRMM caught Debbie in the night.. Lot of rain & a few hot towers in there. Click on pic for a really large quicktime movie of it..

Recon is settling in around 4,900'. A few uncontaminated SFMR surface wind reading say higher surface (66mph) to lower flight winds (43mph)..have to see if this trend holds.

Magnitude 3.4 - SOUTHERN TEXAS

The chucked a dropsonde at that spot with the higher surface winds earlier..

Mid level convection is being sheared back hard. I thought NHC was missing the East gulf impact before with their track. Now I'm feeling a little left of them after LA coast. Mentioned something lastnight that it wouldn't surprise to see the toe of LA get a landfall but I still 1/2 expect a remnant to go more south & toward STX instead of staying over land.. Interesting storm to track, the multiple vorticity center reminds me of a large loose tornado.

{{{Finn}}}~ Good to see you. Saw that tornadic twist in your town & had stopped by your blog. Glad there wasn't more damage. Looked like something that might just take shingles & not roofs. Thanks for the update.

Shep~ That is awesome:))

Wab~~ Recon did have her strengthening despite the time of day..


Many models are settling on Big Bend, coming out Jacksonville area. That shouldn't be much worse than a Cat 1 at worse, surge could be an added 4 so ft. Some have settled on LA. This could be stronger, maybe a Cat 2 worse case.. & then there is the unwavering Geos-5, only run through 45hrs so far but looks the same so far, meandering off La, days more rain for FL.

Steady sprinkle continues here. 0.24" so far. Y'all look out for tornadoes.

Drastic track change. More of a perplexed circle. I see TS Debbie was even added to my local cast for next Thursday...

click for really big..

AF302 Recon is up. Just hit center ~28.250N 85.983W..991.5mb.

OMG, Tornado headed for Legoland (the old Cypress Gardens).. The kids would freak.

Tornado with debris ball hit Yeehaw Junction went west of me up the county line. A line of heavy weather looks on the way.

North end of the county took the brunt. Just a little wind & rain. Looks like a weak upper level COC coming across the state from Tampa to Titusville. It's making me sleepy..

Good morning all~ Squall line setting up & traversing FL this morning. Y'all be safe!

Still expecting Debby to sit there & drown FL through like Thursday or Friday before it starts trekking west. Maybe brush LA on the way to TX..

Flooding & tornadoes are the biggest threat. East central FL has been bumped up to the orange warning for tornadoes today.

AF309 is up.. got a fix, now buzzing the coast just south of Tampa at about 5000'..

Well the Geos-5, that I chased off this cliff finally changed it's path... Brings it right barely north over me. I've been in some pretty hard denial about this one. Not a convenient time at all for this. Though did cut a big branch down that would have tore up the barn lastnight.
