Lesser end. water temperatures in the upper 80s. all of this is conducive for development. we think it will develop for landfall at 7:00 across southern mississippi. this will pick up steam before landfall. this could be a quickly developing system. we talk about putting these systems over the gulf and keep it there for another day. this could be a major hurricane. we are fortunate it doesnt have enough time to develop beyond what we think might be a category one. the steering environment will p...

Wind speed but its the water element with a tropical system. the storm surge threat still extreme for 2 dominican republic, get into turks and caicos thats 9 feet above the ground. they dont have 9 to 12 feet to give. that is one of the biggest stories for them. 2 feet moves your car, 5 feet gets into the first story of your home. 12 feet gets to the second level of your home. the storm looks, best case, to just dodge the islands from a direct landfall from 30 or 40 miles. still a major hurrican...

Harvey did. and then about half of the other models want to take it in for southwestern florida. but notice outliars take it to the gulf. a decent number want to bring it up that coastline. because of the nature of the land mass is how the u.s. bends to the east. they will probably interact with the u.s. at some point. so the steering environment is a little different than hurricane harvey because there was very little steering. this particular motion will want to keep them to the south. at this...

Because of the nature of the land mass is how the u.s. bends to the east. they will probably interact with the u.s. at some point. so the steering environment is a little different than hurricane harvey because there was very little steering. this particular motion will want to keep them to the south. at this point, the air we watch for the storm sz typically four to five days out. you think four to five days out saturday to sunday it could be 200 miles in any ch direction but either way florida...

North. a few models pushing it back into the gulf. but the highest concentration in the southern region of southern and southwestern florida. the steering environment is such that we think it will take that track. and real quickly, want to lay ley out the models comparing what is the best models, a look at the european models. theyre overlaid on top of each other there is one, there is another, bringing both right around the keys. continuing into this weekend and early next week. notice both of ...
