Ike Hurricane Into Gulf?
When Ike was just a little depression off the coast of Africa it was said that it's location would probably put it out of the way of harm for America. Such an initial track would mean that it would swever north before getting close enough to our mainland to inflict any harm. And it was still a depression. Ike then became a minimal hurricane tracking further south and west. And now?
Thursday Ike had burst into a full-fledged category 4 hurricane it it looked like it might head towards the southern part of Florida- can you say Miami. Having just looked at the most recent National Hurricane Center advisory # 18, hurricane Ike is now tracking between Cuba and Florida, crossing over the keys and into the Gulf before turning north.
Who knows?
Answer- no one! How low will he go? How far south will Ike track before turning back North and West? We'll have to leave that answer to the weather gods and of course the low and high pressure systems that build between now and early next week. Could tehre be a scenario where New Orleans has yet another evacuation? You bet,a dn you bet few will agree to leave unless Ike is a CAT 5 and headed dead on to the Big Easy.
Ike's top winds of 120 mph keep it a Category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, according to the hurricane center's 11 a.m. advisory. The offocial forecast calls for Ike to be a Category 3 major hurricane as it approaches the Florida coast next week. Ike was centered 425 miles (685 kilometers) north of the Leeward Islands and was moving toward the west about 16 mph (24 kph). Ike is expected to continue westward for the next several days before turning west-northwest toward Florida, the hurricane center said.
In other words, while the East Coast (all of it) is looking for a very wet weekend from tropical storm Hanna, she will be nothing compared to what Ike seems to be up to giving us. We shall see.
