Thank you! I just upgraded my subscription to tell you that I really appreciate your thorough discussion in terms a “layperson “ can understand. I have at least five weather apps that never satisfy me up here on the western Florida Panhandle!

I'm a CoCoRaHS observer in Palm Bay (FL-BV-151), good thing I just got a bigger, shiny new gauge...I guess.

Thanks, as always, for looking out for us!

As for late October, do not forget hurricane Willma.

A classic example of how the hurricane threat persists into late October in South/Southwest Florida.

I was surprised to see many ensemble members in the 12Z ECMWF with a strong storm.

Me too. I don't want to be completely dismissive of the run, but the environment in the eastern Gulf is pretty marginal.

Both the GFS and ECMWF ensembles are sticking with the stronger storm idea. Interesting to see what will actually happen.
