I may be splitting hairs, but how can the graph show it still moving NNW @ 26.9N while the plots show it moving NNNE? Oh well, that's a long time from now and it'll change again.

<edit> never mind...looking at the GFDN.

Poor Accuweather - the first two landfalling storms of the year may just land in their 'low' odds section. Ooops!

Does anyone have an intensity forecast for the 18Z GFDL? I think we all can be concerned with it moving at 4.5 kts at the end.

Personally, I think that a high will build in to the west/north/and south of the storm, and then Ernesto confused by all this, will do 3 loops and then head back to africa.

*due to the amount of useless posts, I'm to lazy to find this*

Go back and look and what Jan/XYNO mentioned about what she seen in one of the models. Gives a plausible explanation for the possibility of a slowdown/stall, and she may be on to something...

Guys I am really questioning the strength of this "ridge."

Here we are again today in south Florida with storms about ready to move in from the west - a sign the east wind pattern is still not here and the steering currents are minimal. I think there is a ridge but it may not be the type of ridge we saw in 2004 and last year with Dennis.

This ridge seems weaker..

They're taking their time with the 8 o'clock... I know its only 7:56... but they're usually earlier than this.

What have we learned today?

#314 Postby Vortex » Sat Aug 26, 2006 6:56 pm

I think the 00z runs tonight will provide the most reliable runs yet. We should have more continuity with the models later tonight and going foreward.

The facts:

(1)The overall trend today with the models has trended east.

(2) Due to a reformation of the center and/or movement Ernesto is slightly further North than expected.

Based on these factors and the forecasted overall synoptic environment the threats to the western gulf have decreased somewhat. The central Gulf coast remains unchanged. The eastern gulf threat has increased to include the west coast of Florida and the keys even those these area remain low target zones overall at this point.

**Bottom line the trend is your friend and this is what we have this evening. This is a very fluid situation and the next 6-12 hours will give us a beter idea in determining the areas of greater risk.

EWG, with the GFDL shifting slighty west on the latest run, do you think the other dynamical models will follow?. IMHO I think the NHC will leave the track basiclly the same for the 11PM package. Now 5:00AM Sunday may show a change. Time will tell.

Does anyone notice that not one global model really intensifies this storm in the GOM? Seems strange to me - why?
