Steve-O, we can add two more sources that are calling for wind:

1) Weather.com is showing 16 or 18 out of the south depending on when you look.

2) The Danimal is also calling for wind from any direction, mostly based on the fact that he is taking the day off and wants to kiteboard.

So thats 4 out of 5, 5 out of 6 if you count wind guru

I can almost for sure say there'll be NO wind, since the Low decided to make its Center on top of us instead of to the NW of us.
NW of us would'a given us wind but it is tracking instead over us s,,,, so rain here we come....:(

Hate to say it but I think Big R is right. This low is just sitting on top of us and doesn't show any signs of going anywhere at the moment.

Well at least my grass is green and my car is clean.

Speaking of green I have made some changes in my daily routine. I have been riding my bike to work and running errands. Gas is just crazy. I am lucky that I have just about everything I need within a 10 minute ride of the house. Last week I went 4 days without driving. Cool stuff.

I'm not looking into any scientific weather model. I'm just using the "it is too good to be true" model but You guys are better forecasting wind than I. however, I don't want to be seen as a negative rider with low expectations so I hope it blows 25 knots all day. iF SO That would be SUPER AWESOME!

Ola, Mexico!! We Panhandlers are hoping that it tracks toward the big bend and pushes wind our way. I am developing a cough as we speak!! I'm surprised you guys aren't getting anything, you must be in the vortex!!!(sorry, local joke) In any case, I hope we all get something outta this. If not, there's that wave moving south of the Virgin Islands soon!!!......

BigR 07-16-2008 12:26 PM

if anything , it'll track to the NE towards jacksonville, but it does "suck" to be stuck in the middle of the vortex

Yeah, I guess I was seeing things:-(

BigR 07-17-2008 01:37 PM

I think its about right, seems around 10-12 kts at the SW as well,


Prolly an odd passing shower or two, let us know if it was any good :D
