AN ACR B757 FLC HAD TO USE THEIR EMER AUTH TO AVOID TSTMS DURING THEIR CLBOUT.

Narrative

CLBING OUT OF MCO WE ADVISED ZJX WE NEEDED TO DEV L OR R FOR WX. THE CTLR SAID HE WOULD TELL NEXT CTLR AND HE WOULD TELL US. WE CHANGED FREQS 3-4 MINS LATER. NEW CTLR ACKNOWLEDGED OUR CHK-IN AND WE ADVISED WE WOULD LIKE TO GO L. HE WORKED OTHER TFC AND WHEN HE GOT BACK TO US; SAID WE NEEDED TO STAY ON COURSE. WE COULD NOT AT THAT POINT; AS OUR COURSE TURNED R; WHICH WAS INTO THE TSTM. HE ASKED IF WE WERE GOING TO USE OUR EMER AUTH AND AS THAT SEEMED THE ONLY OPTION; I SAID YES. WE ASKED IF WE COULD GO EITHER UP; DOWN; OR L FOR HIM. HE CAME BACK A COUPLE OF MINS LATER WITH A CLRNC TO DEV. WE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO BE TOO ACCOMMODATING IN LETTING THE CTLR DECIDE WHICH WAY WAS BEST FOR HIS TFC. BY THE TIME HE GOT BACK TO US IT WAS TOO LATE. WE WERE COMMITTED TO GOING L. FLORIDA HAS GREAT PROBS WITH ACFT NEEDING TO DEV FOR WX ON DEPS AND ARRS. CTLRS MAY NEED MORE INFO AS TO HAZARDOUS WX AS IT SEEMED HE WAS UNAWARE OF ANY OUT THERE. THUS WE HAD TO DECLARE AN EMER TO KEEP FROM PENETRATING DANGEROUS WX.
