Atlantic - Irma forms August 30, 2017 (colder, tornadoes, warm, storm)

Hurricane Infrared, GOES East - NOAA GOES Geostationary Satellite Server

This clearly shows eye that appears North of Cuba.

Also notice the giant band of clouds off the East Coast

This is where the huge rainstorms are that are helping to drive pressure lower.

That north band is just south of Ft Myers
Rain will move up coast and winds will,strengthen
People moving to,shelters should go now IMO because some close at dark and it takes time to,get in.

[dunno what to put here]

I'm starting to think that Irma isn't going to move north at all, or won't move north until further west. Maybe the FL peninsula could avoid a landfall entirely.

While I hopefully won't be glued to this forum 24/7 like I have been I will certainly be stopping by...

So grateful that the politics have not surfaced yet in all this, gives me a bit of hope, that we can still pull together when tragedy strikes. And thanks again for the great posts. I am here in Delrsy Beach, and these posts have been my go to all week, cant thank you enough.

2 Loops..


Infrared Rainbow with Lat/Lon on. Definitely moving WNW but I think it will be moving NNW tonight. This is about like 100 miles from missing Florida. 100 more miles WNW and I think would miss even with a north turn

i agree. did they ever have an estimate when it was supposed to turn north? just looking at it if it does turn north couldnt it hit mobile?

I'm glad coastal sc is pretty much out the picture. Feel bad for Florida though

[ilovemycomputer90]

So much uncertainty even with the storm already impacting Florida. Yesterday it looked like a disaster for Miami and points along the east coast. While they're (east coast) not going to be completely spared, it's looking more troubling for the Gulf side.

Within next 6 hours we should "start" to see it. Was supposed to be around western Keys longitude. About 81.5N?
