OT: Severe Weather Discussion III

[Nosebleed40]

It’s too far out to say for sure, but all guidance seems to signal for some kind of tropical system east of the Bahamas around Friday of next week

Can’t pinpoint anything at this point, but definitely worth watching

Tres - do you think the Bahamas will be storm free beginning this weekend until early next week?

Yes and no. The hurricane will more than likely stay far enough away where the only threat would be strong surf on Atlantic Ocean facing beaches, though you’re in the middle of the Bahamas it seems so not as bad as say, Abaco or something like that

However, a cold front looks like it’s going to get hung up around there. While there’s always a threat for showers and thunderstorms basically any day in the tropics, that boundary will likely lead to more widespread thunderstorm activity across whatever parts of the Bahamas it settles across

So tropically, I think you’re fine based on what I see, but at the same time I think it will also likely be more showery/stormy than usual

Okay - thanks so much. Iffy forecast.

Isnt Homeland from Tampa Bay?

How did the weather turn out, btw?

As for Tampa, yeah… someone between Tampa and say Sarasota is going to get hit directly by Milton… not good

really shocking storm from a meteorological perspective. i have never in my life seen a storm bomb out this fast (maybe gilbert, idk). hard to say exact point of landfall but anything slightly north of tampa bay would be absolutely catastrophic. "They" say that it might do 175 Billion dollars in damage - given how many people live there, I could believe it.

If anyone knows anyone in that area that is staying, please tell them to change their minds - they still have time tomorrow morning.

Tropical depression to category 5 in less than 48 hours. Amazing.

Seems like everyone in the Tampa area is heeding the warning and already got out. Hope they have something to come back to. Also hope the handful of insurers still in Florida survive.

Hockey is meaningless in the grand scheme, but we might find the Lightning displaced for a long time, like the Saints after Katrina.

Almost everybody. 2 idiot friends, one in Oldsmar and one in Indian Shores refuse to evacuate.
