Heading for Cape Coral/Sarasota area for landfall it appears. Still looks like it then slowly crosses central Florida peninsula after landfall with a stripe of hurricane force winds heading toward Orlando and copious amounts of rain (in excess of 12") across much of central Florida. Tornado threat will continue near and south/east of storm track, especially across southern Florida peninsula. Across northern Florida there will be a sharp cut off in flooding rain and high wind somewhere near Gainesville with much higher likelyhood once east toward Jacksonville. A place like Tallahassee, FL may see little if any rain while a 100-150 miles east of there could see 10-20 inches with 60-80 mph winds. I'll say this - we are still under a TS watch here in Gainesville. Not a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add, a large swath of central FL peninsula is FUCKED. Can't even imagine the aftermath from this. Glad you should miss the brunt of it up your way.

Parsley Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Hurricane Ian Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092022 1100 AM EDT Wed Sep 28 2022 Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter data was absolutely critical this morning in diagnosing the rapid intensification of Ian, despite both planes undergoing multiple eyewall penetrations experiencing severe turbulence. That data supported an intensity of about 135 kt a few hours ago. Since that time, high-resolution Tampa Doppler radar data has been sampling the eyewall near 10,000 ft with winds up to 155 kt, indicating that Ian is on the threshold of category 5 status. The maximum winds are set to 135 kt on this advisory. Ian is expected to make landfall in southwestern Florida in the next few hours as a catastrophic hurricane. No changes were made to the track forecast near Florida, except to be faster to come into line with the latest consensus aids. One important change is that Ian is likely to remain more intact as it crosses the Florida peninsula. Edited September 28, 2022 by Parsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 First things first...the thing drifted far enough south that we barely had an issue. Obviously, the damage in Fort Myers, Naples, Sanibel, etc is awful, but I've got a special place in my heart for Orlando having lived there for six years, and to see the streets I walked and the parks I visited under feet of water from lake flooding is absolutely heartbreaking. To be far away and unable to do anything to help is even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear talk of a Nor’Easter Looks like a massive rainstorm Thursday night into Friday anywhere along the East Coast (snow confined to the Great Lakes region). Then an arctic blast over the weekend, but mainly dry. Winds with the rain late Thursday night into Friday could be intense before the cold front passage. Like 40-60 mph. If you are not leaving Long Island til Saturday, the rain will have passed and cold, strong winds will be your main concern driving north. Bulk of rain will be on Friday. With a storm track into the Great Lakes, the fear of wintry weather looks to be minimal. Edited December 19, 2022 by Parsley 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Since it's the holiday and this event will be impactful I'll break down the next few days... Thursday: Rain moves into the area. Thursday night: Heavy rain and gusty southeast winds (20-40 mph) will batter the area with coastal flooding and erosion. Friday: Rain ends early then an intense arctic front moves through the area dropping temperatures from the 40s and 50s Friday morning into the 0's and 10's in 6-12 hours Friday afternoon and night. Winds accompanying the front could be intense, over 50 mph, especially near the coast. The cold front may produce a brief snow shower or snow squall, especially over interior area as it moves through. Saturday: Very cold, windy and dry with temperatures only in the 10s and 20s. Sunday: Cold and dry. Temperatures in the 20s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Had to remove a sheet of ice on the inside of all my windows this morning. Forgot to lower the whole home humidifier from 35° to about 20°. That much condensation+15 below wind chill=sheets of ice on windows. The hair dryer was busy.
