8/26 11 pm EDT discussion from the National Hurricane Center:

satellite imagery has shown an increase in the area of cold cloud tops
near the center of Isaac. However...there has not been any significant
change in organization in radar data from Key West this evening. In
fact...the aircraft fixes have been near the southeastern edge of the
convective cluster seen in both satellite and radar imagery. An earlier ship
observation and SFMR measurements of 50-55 kt supported increasing the
intensity to 55 kt on the intermediate advisory. Since that time...the aircraft
has not found any stronger winds so the initial wind speed remains unchanged.
The large scale environmental factors...warm waters...and a conducive
upper-air pattern favor strengthening during the next couple of days.
However...the lack of an inner core and large wind field could continue to be
impeding factors for significant strengthening in the short term. The NHC
intensity forecast shows a gradual increase in wind speed during the next 12
hours or so...followed by more steady strengthening. The official forecast is close
to the SHIPS/lgem guidance and the intensity consensus.

Aircraft and radar center fixes indicate that Isaac jogged westward
and slowed down this evening. However...the longer term motion is
285/12 kt. The models show Isaac turning toward the northwest into
a break in the subtropical ridge. Although the models agree on
this turn...there is an unusually large spread in the track guidance
after 24 hours. The spread of landfall locations along the northern
Gulf Coast ranges from the Texas/Louisiana border eastward to the
Alabama/Florida border with the HWRF...GFDL...and GFS near the
western edge and the UKMET and ECMWF along the eastern edge of the
envelope. Overall...the consensus has shifted a little westward
and the official forecast as been moved in that direction. The NHC
forecast is between the ECMWF and GFS ensemble means and near the
hfip multi-model consensus. Because of the very large spread in
the guidance...there continues to be greater than usual track
forecast uncertainty.

Throughout the period...it is important not to focus on the exact
forecast track due to forecast uncertainties and the fact that
significant hazards extend well away from the center.

Yep, I was JUST looking at this. I saw this about 24 hours ago, and some of the tracks as you can see have moved it in the vicinity of Tampa. Also the NWS has given it an 80% of tropical cyclone formation within the next 48 hours:

This is all going according to plan to stop Kokesh march. HAARP has been very active lately.

Hell, why not? We can put a spacecraft on Mars...

I am more concerned about the immediate and known!

can't find the post... but we had a thread about how Tampa was preparing for a Hurricane during the RNC... about 2 months ago... time to breakout the Ron Paul umbrellas and ponchos

No shit....drought? What drought? Damn sure not in Panama City, Fl area, it's rained here nearly everyday for well over a month, and rained hard, at least .5 inch/per day. We're having to cut our grass wet in between downpours lately. Please make it stop.

Don't you just hate that? I know I do.

It's never too early to plan the hurricane party.... and then not cancel it if the hurricane doesn't show.

 

[SilenceDewgooder]

Sounds to me like this is the backup plan if the RNC thinks the convention will be anything other than a Romney-fest. "Okay boys, if it looks like the Paul crowd is big enough to be noticible, we'll just call up Gov. Scott and he'll cancel the convention because of a 'projected hurricane'"

Seriously, this is Florida in the middle of hurricane season. They knew that when choosing the location.

"Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."

Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.

Well, this would make the second hurricane...


The first being the surging tide of Ron Paul supporters descending upon Tampa leaving a huge swath of better-informed citizenry in its wake! Hurricane Liberty!

 

[Razmear]

Seeing how we were hoping for blizzards in Iowa to keep the less motivated voters away, having a hurricane hit during the RNC might just play right into our hands. Get all our alternates ready to pile in once the pansy Romney supporters head for the hills.

No it won't, they'll cancel the event as soon as the storm makes a flinch north when it hits the gulf, or when it hits the gulf, period..


Besides, we already have the nominee anyway, so who cares, right? /s

Is it Whiskey Joe's where the owner is being told by the city that he doesn't have the right to serve alcohol on the beach? I looked for it in the news, and it must be someplace else. Somewhere around here, there's a beach bar owner in a skirmish regarding who owns the beach in front of his bar.
