June 10, 2005. Once in the Panhandle we continued to monitor recon
data and the National Hurricane Center fixes on Arlene. At the same
time watching VIS and IR satellite imagery.
The evening before she made landfall in the Florida panhandle she was
showing signs that she was trying to become stronger with deep bursts
of convection on the east-northeast quads of the system. By the next
morning we was wrapping in dry air from the west Gulf of Mexico and
convection was fading fast.
Landfall around Pensacola Beach, Florida that midday. Pretty much
right in the same locations hit very hard by Category 3 Hurricane Ivan.
First noticed the first mild storm surge on the west side of the island.
As the late morning continued the winds just east of Pensacola Beach
increased to 50-55mph with a "few" higher gusts right along the waters
edge.
Most of the photos and video in this report were shot 3-5 east of
Pensacola Beach along the Gulf waters on the island side. With little
rain due to very little deep convection at the time of landfall, the
coastal towns and island became a sand-storm as dry beach sand was
being blown all over the place.
The center of Arlene moved over the beach area and the winds shifted
northwest and the sun came out as the west side of her was convection
free and nothing but dry air wrapping in.
A little impressive area of winds encountered on such a weak
non-convective Tropical Storm. A early start to 2005 Hurricane Season.
