Meanwhile on the Swampgas OT board, there is one post on Irma with no replies. Florida Man apparently gives zero fricks.

these pressures that the models keep spitting out are super questionable. Run after run the GFS is putting it on the edge of the strongest hurricane ever... and now this?



it's honestly the lowest pressures I've ever seen over multiple model runs.. I'm finding them really hard to believe.

Keys and Miami-Dade obliterated by this run

881 is nuts but even if it would be 915-920 it would be Cat 5

the absolute best case scenario from this run is if that High settles over louisiana and mississippi and kicks it back out into the atlantic, like Levi was talking about on his video today.

You're the expert, but I'll just say that people found the Harvey rainfall projections hard to believe, too.

Each run that N turn gets pushed further and further west. I don't want to frick with Irma.

Do the models struggle near the lower end of their pressure ranges? Just guessing.

These pressures are hard to believe but it's pretty consistent across runs. Taking this to be a signal it's going to be really powerful, just not as powerful as some models are throwing out.

Still basically a cat 3-4 after traversing the entire Florida peninsula. Irma may end up being the Bugs Bunny gif.

yea that is what is worth watching the south and west movement with the models before the north turn.

even then... it has to be off by 50mb+ to not be a significantly disastrous hurricane making landfall somewhere in the USA

the difference is that these are projections 8 days out vs. projections 3 days out for Harvey

GFS is notorious for doing crazy things after 120 hours or so.

Euro doesn't have anywhere close to these extreme low pressures either.

helping push away the low pressure system that could push Irma harmlessly back out to sea before it can pick Irma up
