Wild situation depicted by the globals

#1 Postby Stormsfury » Wed Oct 29, 2003 10:45 pm

The GFS, Canadian, UKMET, EURO, and the GFDL all indicate an energy split in the Central Atlantic with one vorticity center darting westward towards Southern Florida while the other develops in the East Central Atlantic. Only the NOGAPS now has a solution of a very deep EC Atlantic storm, while the others are weaker (as a result of the split). The EURO is furthest south keeping the center roughly around 25ºN from Day 5-7.

Ummm, the globals are pretty focused right now, generally offering identical solutions.

The forecast tracks are almost identical through the period...doesn't get much better than that.

They look identical or very close to me. Even in height of season with well developed systems it is rare to see that much solid model consistency. Intensity models are across the board but that is to be expected.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Model Runs Cheat Sheet:
GFS (5:30 AM/PM, 11:30 AM/PM)
HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.

OTHER FEATURE IS AN UPPER LOW JUST S OF PUERTO RICO WHICH IS
ENHANCING SHOWERS/TSTMS IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN. UPPER LOW IS
PART OF A TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHWARD ALONG 67W TO JUST W OF
BERMUDA. COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST SOME SORT OF
SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT COULD RESULT FROM THE
FORMATION OF A STRONG UPPER LOW SW OF BERMUDA ENHANCED BY A
PIECE OF ENERGY CURRENTLY NEAR N CAROLINA. THIS AREA BEARS
WATCHING JUDGING FROM THE MODEL CONSENSUS... EVEN IF THINGS ARE
RATHER QUIET AT THIS MOMENT

If it develops, it's a good bet that the pressure gradient north of the system could cause gale force winds all the way up the FL. east coast. This is something to watch for sure and the SST's are still very supportive of a hurricane. Not saying that this will become a hurricane but the possibilities are there for sure!
