Well, this is interesting. Since the 11am advisory #Helene has moved Southwest, and away from its convection. Could be a temporary wobble, but a perfect illustration of how hard it is to predict these early stages of developing storms. It's feeling that High Pressure. #FLwx

This is our local meteorologist. She’s not in it for ratings. Not in it for clicks, likes and follows. She’s very measured with her forecast. She is calm and doesn’t report with panic in her voice. Everyone else on social media and traditional media is going crazy. 🤔

Yes, the #Ian forecast has trended a bit west, but keep in mind the worst weather will be on the east side. I circled yellow where there could be impacts even if the storm technically stays west of Tampa Bay #FLwx (and even this will change)

With the latest advisory shifting southeast…IF that happens the storm surge threat would go way down for Tampa Bay as winds would blow offshore. But hold tight as this track could still change. Entire area is STILL IN THE CONE. # #Hurricane #Ian #FLwx

This is going to be close Tampa Bay #FLwx By model standards the GFS and Euro are in good agreement, but slight wobbles could make the difference between 100mph winds and/or 60mph winds. We need to prepare for worst but hope it stays west #Ian

exactly why meteorologists hate when storms get 'hyped up' too early because the multi-week trek across the Atlantic leads to unnecessary anxiety. Social media and long-range modeling has been a bad thing for the weather franchise in this regard.
