Can someone take over...

I've got some things to get done.

[Aric Dunn]

I will start making long loops .. for everyone.. (well 9 images verses 3 on that site)

The guidance models indicate good consensus until Dean reaches Grand Cayman. Beyond that, it seems that the bets may very well be off. In any case, some of the models (or at least GFDL) are indicating considerable weakness in the monster ridge. I expect the track to continue meandering around a bit.

Wow, I cant believe this. A 9mb drop in 3 hours, as im pretty sure the 11am said 979. This thing is bombing, im pretty sure with a pressure drop like that!

The 11 AM pressure was an estimate.

I would think we all need to chill a bit until they run the models with data from today's recon.

By the way... this site is much faster @ uploading pics, than imageshack right now.

MAGNIFICENT!!!

Amazing, it has improved dramatically just from a few hours ago. A true monster in the making... water only gets warmer and deeper from here.

Can someone give me a link to the website you got this off of? I dont have the link to the RAMDIS page

[PTrackerLA]

Where can I get animated maps of the 12z models of the GFDL and HWRF? I can't find the link I used to have. Thanks in advance!

[Starburst]

I can try to. This computer keeps freezing up today

Yes,lets take a break from the 12z runs and focus tonight on the 00z guidance that will have the data ingested from the gulfstream jet.

Aric, Does the NHC archive it's satellite images anywhere for download? I would like to make some full lifecycle loops and have been downloading them as they are posted, but have of course missed a few.

GFDL is here. Has the "WRF" but not updated past 6z.

I know I may be over-sensitive here...but adjectives like "great" "improving" and "awesome" are a little hard for those of us in the islands to stomach at the moment, regardless of the power and intensity and perfection of a storm moving into a high mode. Can the thrill of watching this be couched in a bit more thoughtful terms? And we will do the same for CONUS when it applies (though, I can't think of any of the island posters who use these terms, for obvious, or maybe not so obvious reasons).

[hurricanefloyd5]

is it just me or dose anyone else here seem to think that the models shifts ever so slightly to the north alittle bit on every model run towards the end of the 5 day forecast??

[DESTRUCTION5]

Yes,lets take a break from the 12z runs and focus tonight on the 00z guidance that will have the data ingested from the gulfstream jet.

I don't think they will change much...previous storms have proven that..

you can use the NASA site .. and go back quite a bit

Its possible....I was thinking the same thing earlier.

Sometimes we weather junkies tend to get a bit too excited when a storm really blows up. All my thoughts and prayers to you and the others in the islands, stay safe!
