wxman57, you mentioned a faster and further westward track for now that could cause a more westard landfall position #2. What is your thinking on this? A stronger than forecast ridge that will not weaken as quickly? Or the fact that she is moving westward quicker and therefore the track will shift to the left a little becasue of it? If you have a good idea how long do you think this west to wnw direction will go before the turn to the nw/north? Thanks.

GFS came out with a much further east solution but nobody is giving it any credit so i guess its still a Florida into the gulf forecast for now even though i think the models that were showing the sharper right hook are more inline with the right idea and that it may turn sharp enough to hit the upper west side of the Pennisula near the big bend area.

IMO anyways

8pm discussion from Morehead city NC has a few concerns:

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEEKEND...IMPACT OF TS KATRINA STILL UNCERTAIN
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE AT THE VERY LEAST ONSHORE FLOW/COASTAL TROUGHINESS
WILL LEAD TO A WETTER SCENARIO THAN WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY
PORTRAYING. I WILL RECOMMEND TO THE THE NEXT SHIFT TO RAISE POPS SAT
AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY/MONDAY IF CURRENT TRENDS IN THE MODELS
CONTINUE.

atleast will have to deal with the troughiness or the remnants we could use the rain though

And GFDL still going gung ho with the storm, and a sharp SW turn. Im starting to think that it's consistency is incredible on a *relatively* unlikely scenario. I believe that a WNW (275) W/WSW (265-270) track is now very likely to continue.

That could be Ncdowneast providing the storm crosses in the alotted time frame but if it goes faster that messes with the models.Clark over at FLHurricane also made mention of this faster movement scenario yesterday and a play further W.For the time being the right bending models are not coming to fruitation.
