> Hurricane Isaias

.
Hopefully Isaias will weaken.
But it is surely a threat to the eastern states bordering on Atlantic.

In addition to the National Hurricane Center: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/gra...732.shtml?cone
and Cyclostorm https://www.cyclostorm.com/,

I have found "Mike's Weather" graphs/tracking informative even though he is not a meteorologist:
Spagetti
https://spaghettimodels.com

Does anyone reading here, have other weather sites they like?


Wishing safe outcomes for trf members in Isaias' path.

We have a house in southern FL and in NJ. Can the same hurricane hit both?

Hopefully it’s not too bad. Doesn’t look like it will be.



Look on the bright side though. It’s the most normal thing that has happened in 2020 so far.

I just finished putting the last of my shutters up. I'm just north of West Palm Beach.

Just what we don't need right now.

Prepared for the worst and hoping for the best.

Chris, wishing you the best. Dorian was truly catastrophic for the Bahamas.

What this "Rona" will unleash to people who have to shelter, if needed, as a result of the storm is surely a concern.

Hey Captain.... If it mimics Matthew, I am hosed but trying to stay positive like you.

If it stays in Atlantic, we will be blessed as long as there are no spawning tornadoes which are what bludgeoned my property during Matthew.

Meh. Cat 1. That's nothing. Beware of Mike’s weather page. He’s a sensationalist because he needs the clicks. Every hurricane in his eyes is a catastrophe that will possibility end the planet. Of course you need to stay tuned to find out if it will end the planet.

Considering the media panic madness, anything less than a category 5 is unacceptable !

I've found that local news stations do a better job with the local forecast than any of the bigger sites. Probably because their area of focus is so much more condensed.

We have a house in Palm Beach county and suburban New Jersey. I said to my wife we can have two houses wiped out by the same hurricane. A 7-10 split in bowling.
