JEANNE NOW PROGGED TO MAKE DIRECT LANDFALL ALONG THE E. FL COAST AS A CAT 3 OR 4
lololol
Well, it looks like TWC has chosen Stephanie Abrams to make like a kite again this weekend, too, as she is covering live from Jeanne. If you haven't seen what she looks like wearing a wind breaker during a cat3 hurricane before, well.. here's your chance! lol
In all seriousness, Jeanne is now fully a Cat3 and progged to either hold it's own, or, even increase some in strength.
The eyewall is just 125 miles or less off the coast of West Palm Beach!
From NHC:
"HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THE
EYE IS OVER MARSH HARBOR ON THE ABACO ISLAND. THE CLOUD PATTERN IS
MUCH BETTER ORGANIZED WITH VERY DEEP CONVECTION SURROUNDING THE EYE
AND EXCELLENT OUTFLOW. IN FACT...T-NUMBERS FROM BOTH TAFB AND SAB
ARE 6.5 ON THE DVORAK SCALE SUGGESTING WINDS OF 127 KNOTS.
AN AIR FORCE PLANE HAS BEEN FLYING ACROSS THE HURRICANE AND
REPORTED MAXIMUM WINDS OF 113 KNOT AT FLIGHT LEVEL. INITIAL
INTENSITY HAS BEEN INCREASED TO 100 KNOTS. THIS MAKES JEANNE A
CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR/SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE.
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE HURRICANE COULD BECOME A CATEGORY FOUR
BEFORE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA."
NHC 72-HOUR FORECAST TRACK OF NOW CAT 3 JEANNE
TWC is having excellent LIVE broadcasts from all over Florida, of course. JIM CANTORE is at Daytona Beach. Stephanie Abrams is ready to fly her wind breaker a kite again.. etc...
