Since retiring for the night and getting up this morning, there has been little change in Isaac. Max sustained winds remain at 65 mph with pressure slightly lower at 990. However, recent sat images has showed a more healthy looking system with a more concentric look with blow up of deep convection and even what could appear […]
While the outer bands of Isaac have been sweeping up through South and even Central Florida throughout today with wind gusts to 60 mph across Miami along with torrential downpours, the centre of circulation is just about on Key West. Pressure is now at 994mb so it’s barely strengthening though it’s highly likely that over […]
Florida Keys: Don’t be caught out my last minute rapid intensification! If you looked at my forecast track issued late last night (below) and then have a look at the new NHC track issued this morning (above), their near identical. This track which takes Isaac through the very deep warm waters of the Florida Straits is […]
As Tropical Storm Isaac continues to churn away in very unorganised fashion off the north coast of Cuba, the latest model guidance shows a slightly more westward track over the Gulf and this is most worrying for the Greater New Orleans area. The overnight shift west means that there is greater risk of a potentially major hurricane […]
Tropical Storm Isaac is emerging out over the bathtub warm waters of the Florida Straits and with the core largely intact from interaction with Hispaniola and Cuba, the concern is that with the high heat content available and good atmospheric conditions, the large area of energy could bundle and this system may rapidly intensify over […]
Although it is still very far out. I am wanting to state that I believe Isaac will enter the eastern Gulf starting early next week following a landfall somewhere along the Florida Keys. A lot depends upon track, how long it spends over Cuba and what state the inner core is when it remerges out over the Florida […]

Typhoon Tembin came crashing ashore in Taiwan early Friday morning packing sustained 80 mph winds and widespread 16-19 inch rains. As much as 24.6 inches of rain was reported in 20 hours in the southern town of Checheng and wind gusts were reported as high as 96 mph. The system is slow moving and so flooding and very high […]

Since the last time I looked at Isaac earlier today it remained a weak and rather disorganised system with a large envelope of energy but as of this evening, that energy is beginning toshow signs of consolidating and we knew that once this occured then, look out! Maximum sustained winds are up to 65 mph now and this will cause […]
