Euro is correct we will have Irma, Jose, Katia, and potentially Lee near Africa late in the period.

I don't buy the northward turn. It just doesn't seem logical for it to do it with a storm this large. HWRF doesn't seem to buy it either. GOM here we go!!!

How accurate is that model...?

just find it hard to believe it takes that hard of a turn. That would be one hell of a shift in direction.


It's not hard to believe as a normal low level trough will change a hurricanes path on a dime. But the shortwave that may or may not be there that they're counting on doing that isn't confidence inspiring and even if it's there I'm not sure it'll be strong enough to drag Irma straight north.

I still think it gets in the central gulf and landfall will be between Nola and Destin

i think matthew did the same thing last year if i remember right. its completely logical depending on troughs/ridges and their strength. shite a storm could go into complete reverse if it interacted with the right system.

these models isn't about looking at an individual model

it's about looking at trends and changing dynamics

the fact that 1 is starting to not recurve is just something to keep an eye on... if more models start doing it then it becomes a great concern

ETA: rds if I'm wrong please correct me

We've seen it before.

I take that rouge shortwave as the key opening the door by building a little weakness on the western edge of that ridge. I've got the right idea on that or no?

No but it'll still be early to see what this thing ends up doing. Its far enough that they'll be out of the catastrophic threat and can very easily go north/ west from there.

I was an idiot who evacuated from NOLA to Picayune, Miss. (grandparents' house) for Katrina

so don't take evacuation advice from me

It would literally traverse the full length of Cuba on that track, which couldn't be a bad thing at all if it has to go on that track (for us, would suck huge for Cuba).

Water is sold out at several walmarks here in West Palm. I'm waiting to see a better track over the next few days before I start putting up hurricane shutters.
