August 30, 201610 yr 2 pm EDT Thursday afternoon. [ATTACH]57678[/ATTACH] Dang. That's not good for the Gulf Coast.
August 31, 201610 yr @swamprat We are already getting rain squalls. It's been raining hard on and off most of the day. Oddly enough, during a lull in the squalls, the normal afternoon thunderstorm still sprang up as usual. You can tell the difference. The bulk of the storm now looks to be coming inland well north of Tampa Bay, though the coast is still under a tropical storm watch. I probably won't even bring the grill in.
August 31, 201610 yr It's still drifting west, too. The path from 5 to 11 pm changed, showing a more northerly pattern. I suspect more of a northerly change in path by the 5 am update.
August 31, 201610 yr I'm in Orlando flying out Thursday about 6 o'clock. They are saying they might not be quite as bad is first anticipated line has moved north of Orlando now. Hoping my flight goes smoothly.
