ATL: LEE - Remnants - Discussion

[South Texas Storms]

Wxman, do you think it will miss the trough and head back WSW into TX?

[BigB0882]

I think a lot will depend on how tightly this system wraps up. If convection is displaced due to shear or not getting its act together then some places very near the center of circulation could end up seeing very little in the way of rain and just have a cloudly, drizzly very windy day. Then those further off to the northeast could have all the rain and less of the wind. It just depends, really! I think someone will get a lot of rain but I think it might be displaced, just my opinion.

The NAM may have been on to something when they had this developing earlier then most models yesterday.

I'll give it 2-3 days before the thread on 93L/Future Lee passes the thread on Katia in number of pages.......

Don't forget to add the 32 pages that this got to before it was even an invest. The Katia discussion is only at 30 pages. This could already be leading, haha

If it stalls for a few days in the GOM as some models have it may well get close to Irenes one.

The Euro is very close to getting picked up by the trough to be fair. How far west this gets in the short term is going to make a huge difference in this getting picked up or left behind in the Gulf imo.

Yep, almost but not quite picked up. Wonder if the 00Z GFS will do a switch and show it blocked then moving west once the blocking high moves east?

I wonder if the 00z Euro will get fully picked up?

Regardless, looks like a lot of rain for the Gulf coast.

[Turtle]

Hey guys, how far inland is the flooding potential (should this happen to go as projected)? I probably won't get much, but I am along I-20 close to the TX/LA border and am hoping to see some rain.

Aric...can illustrate on radar with an arrow or a circle..the area of a possible LLC..you mentioned before the topics changed?

Somewhere about here underthwx

[Ivanhater]

Very uncertain

[Portastorm]

Just as I suspected. Euro has been all over the place. Euro Fail...Still too early though to know for sure..

Give it a rest. So you don't like the Euro. The GFS has had plenty of failures this year. Euro was pretty consistent with Irene, keeping the track close to the coast...when the GFS has started moving it out to sea and had to bring it back towards the coast. The GFS was horrible with Don. The Euro wasn't much better. A blend worked OK.

It's a model. The GFS is a model. Any Euro-hating...or even GFS-hating agenda's are not going to be tolerated. Either add something constructive or don't add anything at all.

with that being said...i almost hate to ask..and i understand that yall are very busy...but as a beginner...are the Euro and the Gfs the main models the NHC use mostly?...for reliability?

Not a euro hater a model consensus lover - just for the record

"Any Euro-hating...or even GFS-hating agenda's are not going to be tolerated."
Good - glad to hear it

[Portastorm]

underthewx, the GFS and Euro are considered "global" models and used to predict weather throughout the world. Then they are tropical models which are designed to forecast the movement of tropical cyclones. You will find those on websites like the South Florida Water Management District and Colorado State and others in the "Model Sites" link above.

thanks...i was looking further west....everything to me looks like its spinning out there...

[SEASON_CANCELED]

Alot of people are fans of the Euro, and its a good model. I personally think the GFS is better. But that discussion will lead to fist fights here on s2k. It really doesnt matter, always look for the consensus.

[cycloneye]

Let's not quote images.If you are going to quote a post with an image,take off the img tag.Thank you for your cooperation on this.

[caneman]

Sure looks like a North Gulf coast threat but way to many variables in play.

[Tireman4]

I love NOGAPS myself...Woo hoo...Back OT!!!

I hear ya. Model consensus is always is a good way to go. Will be more right than wrong. I use to 2nd guess NHC for a long time but I don't think I ever won any of those battles.
