Still a large amount of uncertainty with Erika but the slow shift to the left continues

Do you think that leftward shite continues or do you think it's temporary? Is the ridge just stronger and bigger than originally thought or something?

It's not that it's stronger, it's just that it's getting pushed south and west by a couple of troughs that develop over the period.. the one currently over the northeast, and then one that develops over the great lakes in ~3 days

the window for this thing to stay in the atlantic is quickly closing

here's what i'm thinking, if it stays on its EXACT path, its coming straight for SELA. But you know it doesn't stay on path so its gotta hit somewhere else right?

Hard to say without caveating this sentence to death Certainly more uncertainty than normal in the D3 to 5 range.

the plot that rds just posted shows that the extrapolated path puts it in mexico (black triangle line)

sorry Chad

honestly I've been in the "never making it to the Gulf" camp since Danny, but this one is starting to concern me.

I tend to agree, things started pointing towards this yesterday. The WC trough and any kickers that come out ahead of it will play a big role in the evolution of the ridging over the top of Erika. A lot of wild cards at this point.

I'll drive the RV to BR in a "1", but a 2 is iffy.

A 3 is out if the question.


Probably.

Is there a way to plot a potential timeline this far out?

Like, if was gonna be in the GOM it would be there by Saturday or whatever?

You guys may have done this already...

most of those lines have it going pretty well to the east of us.... when is this supposed to be around the coast?

it's gonna have a hard time gaining strength anywhere... between terrain and shear. The GOM is pretty moist right now but the trough projected over the eastern US will render it pretty inhospitable for development... and it's gotta plow through Hispaniola and Cuba to even get there in the first place.

The best place for it to develop right now is over the Bahamas but it looks more and more like the steering flow just isn't going to let it get there.

So, in your opinion, do you see a hurricane landfall in SoFL?

that front won't be there in 5 days when Erika is coming in.. but its remnants will help steer her north. The exact location of the feature will determine where she turns.

As for hurricanes in Florida... I'm not sure yet. I can say pretty confidently that I don't think this will be a major hurricane threatening Florida... especially with the Bahamas closing off.. and honestly I'm not even sure it will be a hurricane by then. But there's so much disagreement in the models past 48 hours that it's impossible to nail anything down.
