Why is this said so often in these threads?

I'm copying this from another forum, but it explains it well.

quote:

Just to reiterate. This model cycle all need to be technically thrown out due to the initialization. A more right system early on equals a more left system later on.

But think of it this way. with the track that is steady nw to wnw dorian from its earlier position would keep it moving along the edge of the building ridge over the Atlantic ...before the secondary building ridge behind TD6 builds in and thus would gain more latitude over all.

In the case that dorian is right of the track, as it is right now, means that it will be deeper behind the already entrenched Bermuda high and will turn west at a lower latitude and farther east which would allow the ridge to build west and close any gap up when the ridge behind TD6 fills in.

hence why you see in the models everything that was on the right side of the envelope ended up stronger and farther south overall.

Because the models are showing it skipping across Florida into the Gulf

A hurricane tracking west just north of Miami is never a good thing for Louisiana. Hopefully it hits further up the coast but I definitely don’t like the way the track is trending

It was Hurricane Juan and I was stuck in Venetian Isles for 5 days before we could get out because the water was so high. It was 6 to 8 feet above normal flood stage. The only land you could see was the L&N train bridge.

18z GFS coming in a LOT stronger, and still east.

Looks like N. FL or Georgia, which should safely keep it out of the Gulf.

Looks like it has it near the Georgia/Florida border this time on landfall.

Has a hurricane ever come into NOLA from due east? I remember thinking Erin was going to do that back in 1995 or 1996 but it ended up curving northward into the panhandle.





Pretty close

That explanation actually reinforces one of the earlier models that had a further south stronger ridge. Icon I think it was

So basically we need to see how far north and east it gets before it makes its bend back to the west to see if it eventually would get into the Gulf?

what's interesting on this GFS run is not only is it much further north, it stays on a general nw path so far it's showing before landfall before it makes that possible west movement. It then seems to slow down and doesn't move a lot for 36 hours. It just lingers near FL/GA border before sliding into GA. That's a big change from their last run.

Would be worst case scenario for gulf especially if it missed any land interactions as it made that path

It will probably just swing to the north after it crosses Florida. Example below:
