Those are pressures at landfall.

RDS or one of the other experts can explain, but in general the larger storms need a lower pressure to generate the same speed maximum winds as a smaller storm (Sandy and Katrina =large; Andrew and Charley =small).

Irma's threat of a direct landfall to the panhandle remains low. These things are fluid, but as it sits today, the east coast of the state is a much bigger concern.


I hope you're right, these slight shifts to the west every model run are starting to make me a little nervous. This thing went from an afterthought here in the western panhandle to a full-blown panic seemingly overnight, people that were barely aware of Irma yesterday are doing major prep today. I have enough elevation to not worry much about surge, but I'm close enough to the GOM to feel the full unfiltered effects of CAT 4 or 5 winds easily.

Thinking about shuttering up the house and heading back home to AR to visit the folks if it continues to trend W over the next 48 hours.

These threads are so much better late at night when people like that are asleep.

It's a pressure gradient issue.

Katrina had a broad one. Hurricane force winds extended way out but it wasn't as tight right near the center. Air is going to move from high to low pressures and the bigger pressure change over smaller distances will create stronger winds.

Potential possibly yes. Depends on many factors much of which is too early right now to know. I'd say Louisiana, Mississippi, Bama and Florida all need to watch it next several days especially Florida. Right now most models project anywhere from east coast storm to a panhandle one. Pretty big area

Are we looking at a potential gulf threat?


In most situation with the model runs and ensamble splits I'd be a firm no. There is still a fly in the ointment of some energy off the West coast that will enventually determine the nature and timing of the late week trough. It's too unknown to completely discount a gulf threat but it's on the far end of the bell curve of possibilities at this time.

I at GFS having potential Jose do a giant loop in the Atlantic and brush the east coast as a hurricane on the 2nd pass

Just for my edification, when the models say 12z what time is that CST?

Am I seeing things correctly did the GFS slightly change to up from Miami with the eye veering off into the Atlantic and then hitting Alabama and GA?
