I sure hope he does. They were showing Models on the weather channel and they showed him strengthening very quick over the next 24 hours. Guess we have to wait and see.What part of mississippi are you in?

Matt

P.S What have like 70 people read this but only 1 replied?

Bump...

Latest update, technically its not a tropical depression yet. Supposedly NHC says its continuing to pull it self together with some supposedly very severe thunder storms in it. An airforce plane is going out at 2pm cdt today to check on it and see development today. Models still show it being a strong tropical storm or small hurricane by tommorow afternoon now. Even if it doesnt develop, mississippi, lousiana,alabama and florida panhandle should prepare for damaging storm winds, heavy rain,hail,and isolated tornadoes. Thats the lastest the National Hurricane Center.

I hope you won't have any bad weather coming your way. But I am curious, is there a website you are getting this info from? I did a quick search on the few I go to and didn't find anything on Matthew

 

[Miss Jasmine]

You won't find the name "Matthew" because it hasn't become a named storm yet (has to reach Tropical Storm status). Matthew is the next name to be used.

Yick, it appears that no matter what happens it is going to be affecting an area that doesn't need it. However, at this point I would say from Tampa on up north, the folks there need to watch this one as well. It may track more East than what is currently expected.

I hope it just fizzels out........

I hope this one doesn't develop. Enough is enough. I'm still going to WDW next week even if I have to lash myself to the Banana Cabana.

Welcome to a fellow Mississippian.........do you hate it as much as I do.....LOL! Probably not if your on the coast.

 

[Donalds_best_pal]
