Problem with this storm is the current upper level steering winds will be shifting soon. Historically, two similar storms have in fact struck our area from this position at this time of the year in the past. Not sure why, (Maybe because it is a Cape Verde borne storm?)but this storm concerns me and it has since it was just a low rated tropical disturbance off the coast of Africa...There is another one right behind it . http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200906_climo.html#a_topad Again, I'm just an amatuer weather guy. I look for trends,positioning and development mixed with all available computer models. So dont take anything I say as fact. The fact is, nobody can tell where this Gal is going to go yet. We all have to wait and see how she acts in relation to any existing upper level troughs,winds and shears. I use a myriad of different websites in making my calls. As both a resident of Florida and a First Responder, I suggest everyone should at least educate themselves on these things. The first one is new, but a good one. www.stormpulse.com Storm pulse is easy to read and since it's early beginnings has been almost 100% in forecasting storms in the past two seasons. Next would be www.crownweather.com Crown weather has been doing this kind of stuff for a long time. This is where the experts go. The emergency managers and government people hangout. The owner of this website basically collects all relevent data and makes good predictions. This is both a website for the novice hurricane tracker to the most seasoned educated meterologists with multiple doctorates hanging on thier walls. That's just two, if anyone is interested I will post more.I dont want to clutter up this fine website with links unless there is an interest. I'll be here everyday to check in Lets all hope it continues making a right hand turn. Problem with this storm is the current upper level steering winds will be shifting soon.
