snippets from 2pm NHC updated:
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Irma was located by radar near latitude 23.1 North, longitude 80.2 West. Irma is moving just north of due west along the north coast of Cuba at near 9 mph (15 km/h). A northwest motion is expected to begin later today with a turn toward the north-northwest on Sunday. On the forecast track, the core of Irma will continue to move near or over the north coast of Cuba this afternoon, and will reach the Florida Keys Sunday morning. The hurricane is expected to move along or near the southwest coast of Florida Sunday afternoon. Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher gusts. Irma is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Irma is forecast to restrengthen once it moves away from Cuba, and Irma is expected to remain a powerful hurricane as it approaches Florida. A NOAA plane is airborne en route to investigate Irma. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 941 mb (27.79 inches). |

I'm boarded up over here in Tampa. Going to be bad. So many huge live oaks that have never seen a major cane. Tampa will be changed forever. Sent my family to east coast.

Radar shows eye staying off the Cuban coast. Sure they are getting hammered but at least the strong part is off the coast. Thanks for the key west live feed!
5pm update with help of radar!!!! Hurricane Irma Discussion Number 43 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112017 500 PM EDT Sat Sep 09 2017 Data from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter plane sampling Irma indicate that the hurricane has not recovered yet from its interaction with Cuba. It is estimated that the maximum winds are 110 kt. Given the excellent satellite presentation, the lower pressure just reported by the NOAA plane, and the fact that the hurricane will move over the warm waters of the Straits of Florida, some intensification is anticipated during the next 24 hours. Irma is expected to remain a very dangerous hurricane while it moves near or over the Florida Keys and near or over the Florida Peninsula. After 48 hours, Irma will be moving farther inland and weakening. Radar data indicate that Irma is moving toward the west-northwest at about 8 kt. The turn toward the northwest and north-northwest is about to begin since the hurricane is already at the western edge of the subtropical ridge. The track guidance continues to be tightly packed, and the bulk of the models take the hurricane over the Florida Keys and near or over the Florida Peninsula. The NHC forecast is in the middle of the guidance envelope, and given the good agreement among models, the confidence in the track forecast is high. |
