Well all who live in the islands will have to watch what Ivan will do in comming days.

We get another week break before having to get concerned in the states. Hopefully this doesn't bring too much bad weather to the islands!

enough is enough

[yoda]

Correct Luis...

84 kts in 120 hrs.? 84 kts = 95 mph... a CAT 2 in 5 days?

Here we go again...

(That's IF the SHIPS/DSHP are correct)

[OtherHD]

What is the link to those models?

[OtherHD]

Thanks, duh, that was something I should have known lol

[yoda]

Here we go again.. could Ivan do the same thing as Frances? Hmmm... but that UKMET run looks nice, cause it would spare the islands...

If this track holds true, then the US might be in for it again. WAY WAY WAY to early to tell but its not looking good.

HURRICANE FRANCES DISCUSSION NUMBER 36
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT THU SEP 02 2004

ALTHOUGH FRANCES CONTINUES TO HAVE A GOOD SATELLITE REPRESENTATION
... DATA FROM A RECONNAISSANCE PLANE INDICATE THAT THE MINIMUM
PRESSURE HAS RISEN TO 948 MB AND THE EYEWALL IS CURRENTLY
DISRUPTED. INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO 120 KNOTS. THIS
IS PROBABLY A MINOR FLUCTUATION ASSOCIATED WITH INNER CORE
PROCESSES AND FRANCES COULD EASILY RE-INTENSIFY. NEVERTHELESS...
FRANCES IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR/SIMPSON SCALE UNTIL LANDFALL.

FRANCES HAS BEEN WOBBLING DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS BUT THE OVERALL
MOTION APPEARS TO BE TOWARD THE NORTHWEST OR 310 DEGREES AT 9
KNOTS. THE CURRENT STEERING PATTERN OF A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO
THE NORTH OF THE HURRICANE IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST...FORCING FRANCES
TO MOVE BETWEEN THE WEST-NORTHWEST AND NORTHWEST DURING THE NEXT 24
TO 48 HOURS ACROSS THE BAHAMAS AND UNTIL LANDFALL ALONG THE FLORIDA
EAST COAST. ALL TRACK MODELS INCLUDING THE GFDL AND THE GFS ARE NOW
IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT...INCREASING THE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST.
DESPITE THE HIGH CONFIDENCE...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT THE EXACT
LOCATION OF WHERE THE CENTER WILL CROSS THE COAST THIS FAR IN
ADVANCE.

AT THIS TIME...CHANGES IN THE WARNINGS AND WATCHES ARE NOT
NECESSARY.

Yea when I saw where this storm was lat wise I was thinking this could be a Carribean to Gulf storm. Being so low if it did turn up towards FL/SE coast it'd have to cross PR, DR, or at least Cuba. We'll definitely have to watch this to see where it goes.

[Portastorm]

When all is said and done, I think us GOMers are going to be REAL interested in soon-to-be "Ivan the Terrible."

[opera ghost]

Because... ya know... hurricane season just hasn't been INTERESTING enough in the GOM.... !@!$#!#$#@$%

That's it- I want a fast forward to December... PRONTO!

This will most likely be a player for the US for the upcoming week of the 12-18.

[dennis1x1]

let me be the first to say....this will definitely be a cat 5 storm...will level miami then cross into the gulf and level new orleans.


but arent they all?

[golter]

Dennis1x1...finally a forecast that is based solely on spite. LOL
