Gonna be close. That high is closing, but Irma in that position still has a shot to hook east or loop. That's a shock to me. 1 day later and the door is slammed shut.

Crazy, crazy, crazy flip-flop this run by Euro. Not too characteristic of this model. We'll see....

ridge is there...but second trough below it is blocking it from having any steering influence....at least until it reaches the far NE.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Feeling better here in the Wilmington, NC area. GFS had me worried some, but I trust ECMWF more in this case. It is still early, but I like the way the ECMWF is trending.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
The Euro has no idea what it wants to do with Irma in the last couple days. Even if this storm ends up recurving, I won't say this will be a huge win for the model.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Lots of scenarios still on the table. A monster cane in or around the Bahamas on a 180 hour plus model is still to close for comfort. The final chapter of this book is a long way off.

The models just don't know what to do with the trough yet and they will not until this nears the islands.

It's Day 8+ lol... would be more unusual if it did not flip-flip.
Inside Day 7 the models have been fairly consistent in their solutions.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
honestly this still has a ways to go. I don't know about in the US but down here models handle these troughs / trough extensions pretty terribly in the medium- long term.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Something to remember...RL3AO pointed out that statistics show that 5 to 7 day forecasts confidence is lower when a typhoon is recurving out of the WPAC. I'm not sure where he got that information from...just something he posted a few days ago.
