I'm quite happy with models performance, yes there were flip flops for whatever reasons, but basic path was nailed days ago

If it weren't for the GIV Missions sampling the environment around Matthew we would of been screwed in Florida despite Matthew riding the extreme right side of the forecast cone last minute.


Models had Matthew riding up the Florida coast for over a week. How would you have been screwed?

By then it will be nothing left. And won't be in a favorable area to reorganize.



We can only hope, but the models have been horrible with intensity and size so we won't know for at least another 5 days on size and strength.


Again, how have they been terrible on intensity and size? Models have had a major hurricane riding up the Florida coast for over a week now.

Yeah. It's not the like models, and therefore the NHC, nailed Matthew's path since before he struck Haiti or anything...

I'm not happy that the models had it coming farther into shore than occurred, but I'd rather have them err on the side of caution and dodge a bullet. I'm happy that my top winds went from the forecast of around 90 or so to about 56 actual because of the last minute east movement. They were never more than 50 or so miles off for the past 3-5 days even if they were making me too nervous. Considering how slow the storm was moving and the crazy changing atmospheric conditions to the north and east of it, I think they did a pretty good job.

Euro and GFS now agree on full loop albeit weak reflection in 5 days.

The models nailed it in my opinion... Being off a bit as it went east of forecast is still amazing because they were not off by a lot at all. Thankfully, it was enough east to spare most of our coast especially in PB and Treasure Coast.

Never did the models have it reach Cat. 5 like it did and it showed a large storm that might of reached Cat 3 but not Cat 4, so intensity was always off.

Very good agreement between euro and gfs now. Both models make the turn south after Hatteras. The euro's 24 hr time warps are killing me though. Wish they could get that day to 6 hrs.

I'm not saying the track was off, I was saying intensity

I will say this. I am just historian, not a pro met..but I am going to go out on a limb here. First, intensity forecasts are really hard. We are still trying to get them right. I think the pro mets can chime in here. Second, we are never really going to completely figure out weather. Everytime we get close, Mother Nature throws a monkey wrench into it. Third, this storm has baffled everyone. The models, the pros, the amateurs, everyone. This is ( and most are not) not a textbook storm. Take it all in for what is worth. We will learn from Matthew. Just my four and half cents.

This is probably asking a lot, but did anybody take the time to save any of the model runs from Matthew's birth up to now? I'm really curious to see that compiled into a video or gif. From what I can recall, most of the models always seemed to show the storm off of Florida's coast.

The end of that run with the remnants of Matthew traversing SE back towards Dominica seems extremely bizarre.

NHC nailed the track by using their expertise including model output..the models themselves had a good idea and the nhc as usual takes the models along with their other tools and gives us a track and their track was good and better than average on error. They get better over time and the cone will continue to get smaller each year.

The fact that it's still around 10 days in any shape or form in October is mind boggling. :lol:
