oh, BTW...JB has mentioned briefly that this could either come under the ridge or go out...and that the wave behind it could keep it west...

why is he not doing to the video update, they have some other guy, the guy said 2 options, 1 being it stays on a westward course and miss the weakness and be a threat to florida and gulf

#24 Postby **Ivanhater** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 11:17 am

Dunno for sure, I assume he will

Just by looking at the video I get the impression a more W course.He brought that the models had the system position N of were it is now(yesterday models).Derek brought up that it missed the ULL at 40'.Then the strength of the ridge to the W and that the teleconnectins look to have little effect on the ridge in the upcoming 2 weeks.

yeah, he will be back next week...looking at the upper charts...the ridge is filling nicely...the weakness is almost gone...

im telling you people are writing this off, oh its weak, that is the worst thing that can happen, meaning a more likely u.s threat down the road

That's a good point Ivanhater, the slow development may appear good for us in the short term but could mean bad news in the long term for it will be more likely to go W/WNW

What would a tropical weather board be without loving or bashing JB? Personally I'm kind of sick of it. I'm no fan of Accuweather or JB but bashing the guy and virtually accusing him of hyping hysteria to sell subscriptions goes beyond the pale. Let's discuss the "science" and leave the mud where it belongs back in the gutter. I think we do a disservice to this board when we allow those kinds of posts to remain. Just my two cents!

Maybe we could use this thread for what the creator of it wanted it for.Everyone has it's own opinion about Accuweather but let's do it with respect to the members who may not have the same thinking as you.

Ivanhater, Where did JB state that? i just read his statement and i didnot see anything posted about an east coast storm, did i miss something in his write up? :wink:

I read today's column and he said it COULD be a threat, but ihis analogy was like a small running back trying to break through an 8-man front of linebackers, so between the lines I think he is saying it will try to break the ridge but will most likely fail.

watch his video, he said "i DO NOT believe it will recurve"
