• The hurricane watch has just been lifted for all of Florida, yet remains in effect for the coastal region of Georgia and the Carolinas.

• Rob  you called it...
  
  "at 8 PM EDT...0000z...all hurricane watches for Florida are
  discontinued."

• Aaaand... Ernesto is now downgraded to a Tropical Depression. Expected to regain Tropical Storm status over the Atlantic but basically it's finished with Florida.

  Imagine if this was now the case of Atlantis being in the VAB!

  And that it why I posted that it was a big error to move the STS within 10 mins of the start yesterday.. ... They broke the rules... if the rule says 70 kts predicted, it means just that...
  
  but back to the weather and a question for Rob...
  
  If this EH.. storm.. moves back over water, will KSC feel any strengthening in the winds it has now or will it take some time to strengthen without a change to KSC, as it should have cleared the area before strengthing??
• #147 by rdale on 30 Aug, 2006 19:26
• I'd doubt it'd ever strengthen up to the 70kts, but even if so it would be WELL past KSC...
• #148 by Joffan on 30 Aug, 2006 20:17
• NOAA forecasts of Ernesto show little chance of more tropical-storm-strength winds in Florida, although the track of Ernesto is forecast as pretty well straight over KSC.
  
• #149 by rdale on 30 Aug, 2006 20:31
• I don't think any tropical storm force winds have been reported that I can find.
• #150 by Joffan on 30 Aug, 2006 21:57
• I could believe that. Although the NOAA wind history does seem to show some tropical storm winds blew in the southernmost counties of Florida, the graphic does warn that the winds vary from place to place around the storm and not all indicated locations will have experienced the same level of wind force.

  well now as the storm moves out into the Atlantic just off the Cape.. we have winds of 22 MPS max that I can see reported from stations...  I am sure that the local Thunderstorm would be higher in windspeed.. but KSC takes the day off...
• #152 by astrobrian on 31 Aug, 2006 01:50
• MPS? wow hehehe I would say thats a typo Avron lol pretty sure you meant MPH.  There are some activities that are said to be starting up at 2 a.m. tonight, so rain rain go away and concern us not for the next 20 days
• #153 by Joffan on 31 Aug, 2006 02:16
• Of course if he meant 22 metres per second, that's roughly 50mph  so a respectable blow...
• #154 by RedSky on 31 Aug, 2006 02:22
• Looks like the circulation center just passing off (over) the Cape...
  
  (sorry... had a nice RADAR gif of this saved... but was 295k... and over the 100k limit to attach)

  But he didn't - so that's not.
  
  Max sustained winds at the Shuttle Landing Facility were 10mph with a gust to 18mph.

  Its a metric conversion thing...   22 Miles per sec.. she would be launched.. crew or not...
• #157 by astrobrian on 31 Aug, 2006 02:36

• #158 by Avron on 31 Aug, 2006 02:39

  Not quite. The center is about 20 miles due south of the VAB moving north/northeast. Still more rain to come.
