GFDI looks like it turns it north. I wonder how reliable that model is. We sure don't need another tropical system threatning the gulf coast. Usually storms don't go into Mx/Tx this late in the season. Usually the ridge breaks down enough to allow it turn north. I remember when TWC kept saying Lili was heading for Texas in the beginning. But, my gut instinct on that one said Louisiana.cjrciadt wrote:

Looks like from the 12Z model suite that the GFDL and BAM Deep are picking up on a more northerly component of flow toward days 4 and 5 of the model runs. Both models slow the system down & intensify 96L into a hurricane by then. Looks like if the system stays weak it passes west near Cuba but if it strenghtens, it gets influenced by a mid-latitude trough and turns more northward into the GOM.

Maybe the GFDL is on to something.. we will see but the ETA seems to possibly lend support. take a look at the 500MB high the ETA starts to retrograde the 500MB high westward.. Interesting to see if this does indeed happen..

bam bams arent good with systems this far north more like systems in deep tropics like our new td not to say they cant be correct but keep on an on the globals instead

This was written yesterday by NWS Corpus Christi:
.LONG-TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PICTURE THROUGH THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN NO SIGNIFICANT PRECIP AND ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. MAIN FOCUS THIS FORECAST CYCLE IS ON TROPICAL SYSTEM
MODELS ARE DEVELOPING AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE YUCATAN AND INTO THE
BAY OF CAMPECHE/SOUTHWEST GULFMEX. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE TOO STRONG TO AFFECT SOUTH TEXAS EXCEPT FOR
PERHAPS AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE COME LATE WEDNESDAY/EARLY THURSDAY.
MOST MODELS EITHER KEEP SYSTEM FURTHER SOUTH OR DO NOT DEVELOP IT
MUCH. GFS IS MOST AGGRESSIVE IN SYSTEM FORMATION...BUT MOVES SYSTEM
ON MEXICAN COAST LATE WEDNESDAY WELL SOUTH OF BROWNSVILLE NEAR
TAMPICO. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR BECAUSE IF UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS AND/OR
MOVES MORE EAST THAN PROGGED...SYSTEM COULD MOVE MORE NORTH THAN
PROGGED. RIDGE DOES WEAKEN ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...SO EXPECT A
LITTLE COOLER TEMPERATURES BUT STILL ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY.

I must say this is slightly concerning....the GFS coming out

I know that these models (GFS above, for example) are concerning for those in TX, etc., but can we mention, perhaps, how the model run is getting the system there? For example, in the run above, is it south of FL, or going over the Keys. Those of us in the southern part of the state think that's important too

Sure Np.
It shows a rather week system but remember this is one model out of many. It could very well be much stronger.

Circulation is finally noted at the easternmost part of the convection. Now, the game begins!

So far, all the global model guidance except the Canadian keeps it well south of us, either through the straits or even over Cuba.
