Wrap-Up For The Night

Way, way behind tonight... still doing the morning radio feed for tomorrow. Wanted to post a few thoughts before I get back to radio:

*I will have the usual long morning post by 6:30 a.m. tomorrow. Shortly after that, I will post a long list of recommended actions for everyone who lives in the ABC 33/40 viewing area. Now is the time to prepare. We will all have to prepare for extended power outages... so if you need something you might want to run to the stores early Friday before the crowds hit later Friday and Saturday.

*Model output and the NHC track and now very tightly clustered around Pensacola. The 00Z NAM is even getting into the game with a track along with the others. This will mean great potential for widespread tree damage over most of Alabama. Hopefully Dennis will come in a little east of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, but there is no guarantee that will happen. It will be a very close call.

*I am still getting a ton of e-mail from people asking if they should cancel their beach trip this weekend. You can forget about a beach trip this weekend if you are going anywhere from Dauphin Island to Gulf Shores to Destin to Panama City.

Back to radio... and home for a short nap. Brian Peters will be picking up a program for me at the Calhoun County LEPC meeting tomorrow in Anniston... then he is off to the coast. Sure is great having good help!
