Andrea looks to stay a tropical storm as it heads toward the Big Bend of Florida...

Yes. She's a garbage can tipper for sure. 
It'll be interesting to see if the environment will be as sheered as forecast early tomorrow through late tomorrow. I have my doubts, but it might make for a few interesting storms.
Overall it's a mess.

It's actually interesting, this storm; as of 1PM central this afternoon it still only had a 60% cyclone possibility; the NHC statement at that time there was a chance it could become a depression by the time it reached Florida tomorrow night. But as soon as the Air Force overflew it - surprise, TS!
Looks like the projections have it hugging the coast for the next week. Some places will get a decent watering at least.

Good day all,
I was able to chase this system in the Cedar Key area ... I was able to get some 60+ MPH winds and storm surge footage. This area shows pictures taken from the observations of tropical storm Andrea in northwestern Florida's "Big Bend" area (near and around Cedar Key) during the day of June 6, 2013. This storm developed from a stalled trough of low pressure / cold front that extended southward into the southern Gulf of Mexico earlier that same week. As upper level winds improved somewhat, a broad area of low pressure and tropical storm formed in the central to eastern Gulf of Mexico. The storm continued towards the northeast, intensifying until just offshore of Tampa and Cedar Key, Florida during the day of June 6. Landfall was later that same day just north of Cedar Key, Florida with passage across Georgia and the southeastern states over the following days before extratropical transition. Heavy rains, some storm surge flooding (in NW Florida), strong winds, and some isolated tornadoes were spawned east of the center as it came ashore. The storm made landfall in Florida with 65 MPH winds and a central pressure of about 993 MB. The storm was intercepted by a drive up the east coast of Florida, then across to near the Tampa area south of Orlando, and off to the target area in and around Cedar Key, Florida. This was the first tropical cyclone intercept of 2013.
