8/18 - 4pm - TS Fay Has Intentions Now

After meandering near Cuba for a time, Tropical Storm Fay has now made it clear that it will make landfall on the western coast of Florida. It will do so as a weak hurricane unfortunately. The exit plan isn't totally clear yet, but most models are taking the storm generally up the Appalachians. A few models (including the famed GFS) are taking it out to the Atlantic then having it turn around, go back through Florida, and then hit the Gulf Coast. I don't know how valid that type of track is. At any rate, this will transverse Central Florida, which is something that I didn't expect it would do. I guess it's going to break the historical track pattern of veering east or west of Florida. Here's the latest track from the NHC:



The rest of the week here looks sunny and dry. A low will pass west of us on its way up from Texas, so we could get a shot at a few showers here Thursday into Friday. Other than that, we're clear until early next week.
