Typical errors in a 7-day track forecast are over 500 miles so they basically are.


For complex weather systems that are chaotic in nature, this is pretty damn good

Not like a standard linear regression or anything like that in terms of predictions.

I can't remember exactly what rds does but he's pretty much one.

baytiger actually is a meteorologist. Pedro is studying it I believe.

I graduated with a bs in atmospheric sciences this spring. I'm far far from rds/bay level on knowledge though. My interest trailed off the last two years and I learned just enough to get by. I know things that most don't but Im far from being a dependable source.

Everybody get out now...! LOL..!

I was a kid... my mom & sister, grandparents & great grandparents were in a hotel in Slidell (deep enough to get far enough away from the water... while being close enough to my dad who was on duty in the NOFD)

she did that shite... my great grandparents saw it... woke us all up at like 4 AM and we hoofed it to wherever was the next place we could find a hotel room

ended up just outside Memphis, in Mississippi

All I can say is the models today are impressive... When they predicted that loop in Harvey, it did exactly what they said it would do..

As a lifelong resident of the Gulf Coast, I fully understand the (guilty) "survivors remorse" feeling when somebody else bares the brunt of one of these nasty storms. But, I can't really feel "relaxed" when the "new GFS" essentially shows an entire state getting absolutely obliterated.

Fla is going to be devastated if things continue this way; chin up it may all change and I could get screwed with no lube in the Carolinas. The State is so damned long. Are they thinking bout evacing the Keys?

Have any of them commented on the upturn? It seems by the models that it will happen, but just depends East or West.
it depends on the feature projected to build in over the south central US here in the coming days. Right now the thought seems to be it will build pretty far south which is what will send it into Florida (and also give Louisiana cooler weather). A lot depends on timing and accuracy of that projection which sometimes can be tough to project.

I feel government may start issuing voluntary evacs soon (late Tuesday possibly) in the keys if current models hold.

If I was there and had the luxury of up and leaving, I damn sure would already be gone because I wouldn't want to be on one of those islands and on that highway when everybody realized it was time to go.

I had an aunt and uncle who were in the process of building a home during Andrew .. maybe it was just framed up? Anyway, near where the front door was going to be they put a flower pot to "make it homey". They just knew they'd return to NOTHING.

Structure was fine ... the flower pot had been knocked over but not broken.

To put some illustrations behind what Pedro is saying - GFS is acting the way it is because it has the trough moving out as Irma approaches.

Hour 48:


Hour 72:


Hour 96:


Hour 120:


Hour 144:

Until it takes a major north turn, it won't be necessary. It will stay easily on page 1.

Unless Tigerhoney starts a bunch of threads and/or there is a major civil unrest.
