Debby. Please give me some surf. I am from Hawaii and living here in Florida is tough. The placement of Hawaii is perfect to get swells from all directions year round. Florida can be magical when a hurricane passes by but the swell is short lived. If the storm is too close the winds chop it up. Too far away, very inconsistent waves.
Thanks Levi
As a Northwest Florida native I have experienced more than my fair share of storms.
I followed you way back on the old Wunderground blog when you were just a kid living in Alaska of all places, expressing your opinions on tropical systems that would directly affect me on the coast of Florida.
You were many miles away but learned you at a young age had a passion and knowledge to track and predict storm paths and outcomes..Way much better than I would be of predicting snowfall amounts in Alaska from my home in Northwest Florida!
Look at you now Dr. Cowan!!
You are my go to for sensible and well explained forecasts as well as many friends I have turned on to your incredibly legit webpage.
Thanks again Levi for everything!
If ever in the Pensacola area look me up and I will by you a beer or three!

NOAA forecast is always a consolidation of models. Levi is not giving misinformation.At this point the track is uncertain and NOAAโs forecast is not set in stone.
Who said NOAA tracks were set in stone? The point is, anyone can hand draw an arrow, in crayons if they want to, and attempt to outguess, mimic, or approximate a track supplied by NHC forecasters, who have more combined experience than anyone on the planet. In my opinion, if one is going to draw a track line on their own, it should reflect the latest track by the NHC professionals. I am not implying Levi is not skilled, but subtle differences in the hand drawn track and its length can lead to unwarrented confusion among public perception.
Wonder what the probability of while it stalls half on land and half off that it breaks apart an a new storm evolves and does the old circle back to Florida will be.

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the factors at play for 97L. Your videos help so much. Watching warily from the FL Panhandle.
Thanks Levi Cowan for the informative videos which clearly explain the systems.
Live in North East Florida and you are my go-to person for all things Hurricane ๐๐
Stay safe everyone ๐
Thank you for being the most valuable and reliable tool in my tool box!
Thanks for all that you do. Such a clear, concise overview for the lay-person…
Thanks Levi, as always you’re the voice of calm and reason.

The hand drawn arrow showing direction doesnโt precisely match the NOAA forecast, thus slight misinformation in my opinion
