I'd keep a close watch, especially if you've got interests in the lowcountry.
I hear ya.
Everything I'm seeing has the lowcountry a bit south of the cone, seems more like the Grand Strand being the southern end.
Obviously, this thing could change and hit Jacksonville.

Why's it so rare for storms to hit central america? Just curious. Is it geography?

The potential spread is still wide, and there's a reason the NHC cone goes out five days max. It's a good time for our coastal Georgia, SC, NC, and VA posters to think about your plan if a Cat 3 storm is to head your way next week.

Looks like 92L and PTC8 will move into the central Atlantic per weakness in AB ridge.

The earth's rotation. In the northern hemisphere, the path of the storm is naturally going to deflect toward the right. The only reason all storms dont just curve out to sea is the subtropical high that parks over the central Atlantic (Bermuda High). So for Central America, there has to be a high pressure in place blocking the paths north for the storm to end up in Central America.
Which is good, because when the do manage to hit down there, it's typically a human tragedy.

What's the elevation like over there?
Posted on 9/7/18 at 10:47 am to Duke
Yeah, I was curious as to why it did that. Makes sense. I remember they had one that hit down there back in like 06-07 and it devastated them. Even tropical storms seem to cause major death. It's crazy.

Where are you seeing that at?
The models I've seen seem to mostly agree 92L is just going to drift westward for quite awhile.

94L has been activated and there is still potential for something in the Gulf that isn't currently on the board.
Euro EPS has been trying to sniff this out over the past few days, this wouldn't be current 92L but 95L(?)

Are they talking about the blue or the purple?

Was it forecast to be a more active hurricane season this year?
Posted on 9/7/18 at 11:15 am to rds dc
It's always crazy to me how the season can be so quiet and then like a light switch being flipped it's game on

Is there some place other than NHC to find good satellite imagery of the storms further out in the Atlantic? Everything on NHC is so skewed that far out that you can't see the waves until they're much further along.
