also Pensacola and Panama City after that.

Not just the Keys, could be any (or all) parts of southern Florida.

It appears that fourteen will also the Gulf of Mexico early next week and visiting Texas.

The most interesting thing about this is that there will be two storms in the gulf at the same time, one of the west coast of Florida and the other just south of Houston.

As of now at any rate.

I'm sure this is giving forecasters fits.

All we need now is the Trumpster to pull out his marks-a-lot...

Will be interesting to see how they interact. W/14 going higher up into the Gulf before 13 gets there, I'm going to say 13 will fizzle out. Unfortunately not until it gets past Marco Is., so S. Fl should get ready.

Guaranteed they will both be hitting Alabama.

I think the greatest impact could one from rain, two storms right after other could bring significant rain flooding

[dwedeking2]

we shut down the cemetery so it's all good.



We got 50 knot winds on Wednesday, and this storm is supposed to bring 30 - 40 knot winds, I think we're ok.

[jimbunyard]

Think the Keys are in the clear.

But if the latest track forecasts hold, even if the storms fail to amount to much in intensity, which is far from certain, if the first one doesn't cause much surge flooding, the second will, because that from the previous one won't have time to subside.

The hope right now is that both continue at a steady or fast pace to limit the build up of surge, and the daily rate of rainfall.

Even so, again at current track predictions, looks like southeastern Louisiana and western coastal Mississippi are in for, at minimum, storm tide levels we've not seen in quite a few years (15?).

Got a busy day tomorrow...
