Strange question....

My flight takes off at 315pm EST on Saturday, out of MCO (orlando international)

It's obvious that tropical storm force winds won't be there yet....probably not until Sunday sometime

Will airlines (i'm flying spirit) cancel flight before the winds pickup??

Planes can only take off/land up to I believe 15kt crosswind.

In fact I think that's FAA standards.

Airports will ground halt if it goes over that.

Leave it to the Euro to update their better model - with like 3x the ensemble members - to a new engine while the US drags up the rear with the GFS and a handful of ensemble members.

I know you follow models a lot which one do you think is the best at dealing with ridges?


Eh, I'm not experienced enough to say with authority.

In general, having that ULL in front of Dorian pulling out west and how the ridge responds is tricky for the computers. I've seen the Euro build in the ridge too quick at times. The new GFS though could well be underdoing it.

Just get comfortable with the uncertainty for now.

ETA:

If you aren't following @tropicaltidbits and @pppapin on Twitter, you should go ahead and do that. Some pretty in depth shite from dudes who know what they're talking about.

12Z Icon wants to pound Miami and head west. Upper Level Low on Louisianas coast will be an interesting player in where this run will make a second landfall.

Good day to bust out the radarscope. The San Juan radar has the core of Dorian in range.



Thx Duke!

I hate that in Euro ensembles you don't see any northward turn so if it did enter the GOM and those ensembles are correct, it puts the entire Gulf at risk.


These are 12 hours old, but they're not going to change drastically in that 6z update:

Potentially terrifying for LA:



Not nearly as worrisome:

Yall keep posting the ICON which has to me consistently been the worst case scenario for us.

Is the ICON reliable historically?

I'm really only familiar with EURO and GFS.

ICON nailed Barry for better or worse. Its also consistently honed in on a South FL and Gulf track for close to 2 days now. Every other model has bounced around in that timeframe. Also the first to show rapid development to the east of Puerto Rico.

It did well with Barry (but the Euro was still the best overall). It's done well short term with Dorian too but I'm not sold on it in the mid range yet.
