Don’t you all get tired of arguing over the same thing in every hurricane thread? Haven’t most of you been here long enough to understand the basics of what’s going on? It’s every storm thread. The same thing every time.

A retarded monkey can understand a forecast map. It’s not that complicated. Jesus.

They don’t get to make the cone any larger or smaller than one standard deviation of error allows.

Did you read his post?

Is the shear currently happening and just waiting on the storm's approach or is it only a projection at this time? What is the certainty of the shear if not already going on?



What’s going steer it north is also going to impart shear, it’s just a matter of how strong the storm and the shear will be at that time. Also how quickly it’s moving.

The storm is rapidly deepening. Water is plenty hot, storm is organized but small and there’s no shear now. It is bombing out.

Trying to get up to date on this one, what are the predictions for potential intensity at landfall? Seeing the Ms on the forecast but then dropping back to H as it goes further into the gulf. What are the chances it maintains the strength instead of weakening in the gulf?

The cone would be better if they used the ensemble spread.

I hear you. But just an easy observation, the cone from overnight doesn’t even overlap at all through the region of the Yucatan pass. That’s a mere 18hrs, and the cone completely jumped. Doesn’t mean anything to us here, but the folks in Cancun and Cozumel are probably flipping tables.


The NHC should reconsider making cones for tropical depressions.

The center structure is typically poorly formed and a center relocation (like we saw today with Delta) makes for erratic changes in the 24-48 cone at times.

The logic behind what’s steering the system didn’t change at all, but the system reforming SW requires a SW adjustment of the track.

Yes and everybody knows that when they predict NOLA to get a hit 4 days before landfall that it lands well over 50 miles and usually up to 100 miles away.

Alright. 3,000 miles of coast look out!

Good suggestion.

Low end Cat 1 to potentially Cat 3.

Seems unlikely to be strengthening into landfall for lots of reasons, so that’s good news. It’s probably going to be weakening into landfall, but how strong it gets will impact how much it weakens into landfall. In other words, weakening from 120kts or 90kts makes a big difference.

What also needs to be considered is if it does grow to be a major and stays a major long enough the surge would be severe even if the storm weakens.

Recon extrapolated down to 978ish


Strengthening, even if number is wrong. Not a great look in this location. Should get some interesting recon tonight.
