Do you believe it will stay more south and affect NC or south.... or are you with the models and going for a midatlantic hit?

Almost everyone has faith in *something* whether it be a higher power, or cold hard science.

Right now I'm putting my faith in the hands of the experts. I reserve the right to revoke it if Isabel loops around to smack me in the eyeball :wink: But I somehow doubt that at this point LOL

Just as I forecast last night....there is no doubt in my mind this hurricane will strike somewhere between Little River Inlet, North Carolina and Atlantic City, New Jersey....my landfall prediction point is the Morehead City to Cape Hatteras area of eastern North Carolina as a 135 mph (120 kt) cat-4.

No reason to not agree with the models, however, there wouldn't be 13 votes against them [as of now] because of the ridge to the northeast of Isabel and the troughs to the west of the storm.

There were 18 votes at this time going for the late Sunday night official forecast track.

Problem

#7 Postby wxman57 » Mon Sep 15, 2003 6:11 am

There's a little problem with your poll. The models and the NHC are calling for a NC landfall then along the coast of VA to the Delmarva area. So if you pick "I'm staying south!" you're actually picking the path projected by many models and the NHC. Perhaps you should have worded it as south being SOUTH of North Carolina.

The NHC has done a great job this season in regard to the forecast tracks and at this time with Isabel they haved been right on the money.

I agree while I had my doubts earlier..at this time the experts at the NHC and the models have a good handle on the situation :wink:
