Latest 5 am track

It has weakened but has slowed down. This may give it time to gain strength again?

Except for those parts of SC when this thing decides to turn. It really slows down to turn and could drop alot of rain

It has turned further away from SC with each new advisory. Are there any models that have it shifting west?

Byte check out this link to the surf report I use when I go surfing. A good day of surfing out here is about 3 ft waves and a wave energy of between 140-150. Look at Thursday and Friday's surf report. Holy shite
surf report


Goddamn..it has Edisto Beach in SC (basically Charleston) with 15 ft waves Sat a.m. with wave energy of 7337.

ETA: GetCocky...at this point I'm not sure anybody knows wtf this bastard is gonna do. Hope to God it does miss us but the projections keep changing so drastically I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to make any decisions.

The forecast track has shifted Matthew a bit further to the west which will mean increased conditions along the Florida, Georgia and Carolina coasts.

. is this not the slowest moving storm ever?

New GFS has it paralleling the Florida coast then looping back around to hit Florida again.

yeah, the speed of Matthew is becoming Florida's downfall

what seems to be happening is there's a 500mb trough that zips pretty quickly across the US. It develops over the Rockies Thursday and then pushes east to the Atlantic coast late Sunday. The positioning of this trough relative to Matthew will determine if it continues north or does its dance over the Bahamas.

If it manages to get north fast enough, the trough will just push it north along the coast and then out to see

if it doesn't get ahead of the trough, Matthew will instead be blocked by the trough and stay south for an extra few days, which makes it do its loop.

What really concerns me is the fact storms can get really unpredictable when they're looping in slow motion. Once it starts looping, it's hard to say when it's going to stop and what it's trajectory will be, especially 4-6 days out as we are now.

Matthew did show a little bit of acceleration in the last update, but I don't know if it's going to be enough to get ahead of the trough.

I believe it was Hurricane Betsy did a similar loop back in 1965. It was headed up the east coast, made a loop the came around south between Florida and Cuba, entered the gulf and hit Louisiana.

yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. there's no telling when it would stop looping at this point. Could go in to the gulf, could make a full loop and go north again, could just go harmlessly out to sea. who knows.

Fortunately Matthew and Nicole should remain sufficiently far enough apart that Fujiwhara won't complicate the forecast any further

Yeah, Nicole isn't going to stick around long enough for anything really interesting to happen.


Also, hey Robbie, we should catch up some time
