Here's the LINK to the full 1099 x 587 image on postimages.

It's the same image that's erroneously displaying as something like 185 x 100 in the post linked above.

One of my posts is also doing the same thing. Sometimes it will display fully, sometimes it won't, with the exact same URL link.

Can you show me an example of it not loading?

Here's one example in this thread.
quote:





Both are essentially the same image (bottom is the original from twitter), but the postimages URL is not rendering it at full resolution – sometimes you get served the "small" or icon version instead, like there's not enough bandwidth.

After a refresh or two, it will correctly display the full-sized image.

how does this have Cancun looking

its going to go more East than anticipated

I think that's a logical guess.

Levi Cowan believes it depends on an upper shortwave coming out of Texas (see below).




If the storm moves north quickly it could intensify because of that, and if it's slower, the shortwave could eventually dissipate and force the storm to hang around the Gulf for a while (maybe into next week).

So these are showing something hitting around Saturday?

Yes, but there is a "competing" front that may push southward near the coast, complicating things.

It will most likely weaken, and steering currents could drive it elsewhere. Even if a strong storm is avoided, heavy rains may affect the Gulf Coast.

As usual, we won't know until these models resolve, closer to the weekend. Best thing to do now is just be aware.

It was my understanding these AI models have sucked

Yeah, I haven't really followed them for a while, but I was under the impression that they were pretty decent when they first came out.

I'm sure with the opposing fronts and multiple dynamics, there will be some rough runs coming up.

Maybe the ensemble approach will shine here, but I guess we'll have to watch and see.

Has not been the same since the drug cartel abduction

Assuming this wasn't all some sort of advanced hobo code (subsequent to the cartel incident), I've noticed that his last post was regarding interstate onramps.

And his previous banning involved drunk driving on the Natchez Trace.

If he ever makes a return trip to this board, perhaps HRV needs to steer clear of roadway-related content.

:dunno:
