So in 300 hours that thing is over NOLA then 54 hours later it has moved south into the gulf? I'm no meteorologist, but I feel confident in calling bullshite.

I take it as two different models have a track on the potential tropical development but have different landfall times. The second model being 48 hours or so behind the first model.

I brought this up in the other thread. GFS is currently being very consistent with something brewing up. The path keeps flopping from the mouth of the river to east of Florida.


This is like 99% a false alarm. We have seen this the past couple of years out of the GFS. It is pretty normal for large unorganized areas of disturbed weather and lower pressures to develop in the WCAB this time of year. The GFS does a few odd things that help consolidate low level vorticity (spin).



In the image above you can see the enhanced vorticity off the coast of Nicaragua. Then a series of feedback issues within the model let things get out of hand and we start to see the formation of the system. In the image below, the GFS is off to the races even with the system still being still somewhat elongated.

So this storm forms over new Orleans then moves out into the gulf?


About thirty years ago give or take, a cold front came down, and then stalled on Pontchartrain, and became a hurricane that then moved offshore. I don't recall it ever reaching more than a Cat 1.

No doubt.

Mmmmmhmm. And so, in summation, you think this will do what.....

No. First image is from the operational GFS and the second image is from the experimental GFS.

GFS is iffy...I mean sometimes they hit it....sometimes the EURO does and there are plenty of others that nail the middle of their disagreement. What are other models showing? Obviously they are sniffing something, what do the other's show?

I've seen better GFS in the quad.

Even though nothing should come of this, that’d be some shite if that panned out

Right! Could you imagine a category 4 hurricane bearing down on the Gulf coast in MAY?

Arnt water temps still in the mid 70’s? Have to assume that is low for this time of year. Cant see how a category three would form with cold temps like that.

Latest GFS takes "it" over Florida. I get that the GFS is notoriously aggressive with early season formation, but what's the likelihood that this is indeed a significant rain event and not so much a tropical storm?
