RATINGS...Of course they want you to stay "tuned" with them. You think for once they are going to say shear is eating it up and may not survive? News director would fire them on the spot.

They want to keep you there pllus the Katrina talk is running wild!


hehe, you may be right, I've never seen CNN ever give so much attention to a depression way out in the sea as they are now....They never use to do this.

What's really funny is they slowed it down so much b/w day 4 and 5...

they don't want to make a committment. so they stall it like the NOGAPS.

I know that the high in the gulf is weak but it is still a high. The TS will go around it but not to it. After looking at the new path I would have to say charley type storm. JMO

If one of the met could inlight me on the highs and TS hurricans I thank you for it. Just trying to learn. Don't hit me hard on the head

a charley-like storm is highly unlikely.

Also...just FYI...all talk of shear killing it has stopped by the NHC. Looks like shear will be done in next 12-24 hours...looking at the WV loop...looks like the high is building faster than anticipated.

C'mon guys, you're going to get excited about a progged 5-day position when:

1) We can't even get a good fix on a consistent LLC? and,

2) Significant questions about the strength of the ridge over the northern Gulf at that time?

Bottom line: (ad nauseum) ... anyone from Tampico to Florida Big Bend. Keep your eyes open!

I keep hearing different shear forecasts. AirForceMet, what is your forecasts for the shear ahead of Ernesto, is it moving out, strengthening, or weakening?

I hope this comes to the Big Bend. It is the only area that has not been hit yet on the GOM and it is the least populated. Not to mention that means most of the oil rigs should be safe. Finally, it is within driving distance for me.

Can someone enlighten me on what the High will have in affect with Ernesto. Will it push it to a more northerly turn or push it West?

I really thought shear take the punch out now Ernesto and weaken it dramatically. I guess its time to to change my view and get ready for the ride.
