Florida Keys and Isabel?

CMH777 · Sep 11, 2003

Just wondering if any one in the Miami, Florida Keys area have any ideas about the conditions of this storm. I am suppose to be in Key Largo on the 15th through the 22nd. Just wondering if we should go on down or reschedule our trip. I looked at the 10 day forecast on weather.com and it looked pretty good. I guess I was wondering how drastic the conditions there can change.

I have friends on the keys and I've been keeping an eye on Isabel out of morbid curiosity.

At present, it's about 60 miles from the caribbean Islands and now a full catagory 5 hurricane.

NOAA does not want to say "yes" or "no" if it will hit Florida. There is some speculation at NOAA that it looks to hit southern Florida head on this weekend. Now, everyone else says "who knows" so far. I think it will take at leasy another 8 hours of tracking this system before they will have point of impact if any on the south eastern U.S. coastal cities.

Take a look at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT13/AL1303W.GIF

I am on the East coast of Central Florida and the reports we are getting at this time aren't very specific, but none of them show Isabell hitting anywhere (US) until at least mid week.

Hope they are right!!!

Here is a good site to track Isabell...

http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/

Click on computer models, and it shows different tracks
the hurricane might take.

At the moment, none of the tracks are taking Isabell near
Florida.... Good Luck, dive safe.

Just got back form the keys a week ago, went to key largo for snorkeling and key west to check it out. Seemed nice while i was there.

Models are taking the storm into the Hatterus area, far from Florida....The east coast of Florida will pounded by huge ground swells but they shouldn't make it to the Keys

PS...Before the models took the storm northward, and a north central Florida impact looked likely, we were going to evacuate to the Keys!
