UKMI can suck a dick


The UK was one of the best performing models for Hermine but it is traditional about on par with the GFS. The 12z Euro was basically the same as 00z. The spread on the Euro EPS bumped back to the west at 12z with about 20% of the members getting into Florida/Gulf:

The main thing you need to keep an eye on in GTMO is the longitude of the center. If it tracks due north from where it currently is at 74.9W, GTMO at 75.1 / 75.2W would get the western eyewall.

The NHC has Matthew bending back east a little before making landfall. IF it tracks farther west than currently forecast AND/OR doesn't bend back to the east as currently forecast, then GTMO would get the western eye-wall which would make a huge difference in the conditions there - especially on the eastern end of the base.

Looks like a significant westward component of motion still exists. It may be going a little left (west) of the NHC forecast - at least for now.

Ultimately, I won't make any difference but it is fun to watch how erratic these things can be in the short term. It will eventually turn N or NE, even the UK that eventually sends it to Miami turns it back NE to Haiti.

Yeah. It's a long way from any land and still has time to split the uprights and avoid populated areas. With the compact wind field and slow movement, rainfall will possibly and hopefully be the biggest problem for populated areas.

Buoy about 20 miles north of center. Should get in eye in next couple of hours.

Not often you see such a persistent convective pattern like this with a hurricane. Seems more like something from the Pacific than the Atlantic.

For such a powerful storm, thankfully it doesn't appear to be massive in size. I remember Katrina looked like it filled the entire GOM at one point.

Matthew has been an intriguing storm to say the least

Tonight's GFS is back to tracking very close to the outer banks.
