<<URGENT>> Isabel Map HERE

#1 Postby Scott_inVA » Sat Sep 06, 2003 8:21 am

10:15AM update...
Isabel is now on the WREL Model Map Page.
Henri is also on the page.
Fabian links off the Model Map Page (3 maps is very slow on a dial-up, so it is no longer on the page, but is still updating).

BTW, here's a snip from my email WeatherCenter Update at WREL last night:
...I'm quite certain our next Tropical Depression will be on the scorecard by Saturday afternoon. This system will cross 40°W this weekend so we have plenty of time. Where it goes largely depends on the action close to home with Henri and Fabian. We'll deal with this new threat when it becomes "official".

Er...did not think a TS would be "official" when I woke up this morning :?

In short words more threat to the islands than Fabian.

Scott ... they don't call this the heart of the hurricane season for nothing ... :lol: :lol:

Good job on such short notice. BTW, another very healthy looking wave just came off of Africa.

I may eat my words....but I don't think so....

If I lived along the U.S. coast between Cape Cod and Key West, I'd keep an eagle-eye on Isabel. If it's located north of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic next Friday with that large high pressure area offshore the NE U.S. -- it means trouble with a capitol "T". The GFS likes to recurve hurricanes top quickly...even into high pressure ridges....I just don't see it happening (at least if the high pressure is as large and strong as progged).

South Florida is overdue for another major hurricane...and mid-September is prime time. Isabel IMO is a major threat to be the next great September hurricane for Florida....and possibly areas farther north as well (East Coast).

Just my .02 cents worth...

As your research showed last night, Perry; there have been 11+ years (by a month) since a major hurricane last hit South FL. The average I believe is 9 years. This is not good, and Isabel (or Juan) may not be what we need. :o

The ones that concern me are the ones who cross the Fl peninsula and reform in the GOM, double whammy!

Thanks for the quick Isabel map

Nice job on short notice...Henri has come and gone and left us with a rather delightful, sunny and breezy afternoon. Lot of rain yesterday but we've seen much worse. Way to early to agonize over where Isabel is bound as the models seem to be all over the place. Your map does the best job of demonstrating the forecast model paths. Keep posting those maps, Scott! :lol:

Oh boy! I certainly hope not.. I got a bad feeling when this season started & I told myself that I get a bad feeling every year & not to worry about it. (I am an insurance agent for mostly homeowners so it would be terrible for me besides the actual storm of course.) I guess we will have to wait & see but I do not like seeing all these waves coming out of Africa.. they look like they are marching!

Colin, Hurricane Fabian wasn't exactly a fish storm... it hit Bermuda extremely hard.

Colin only one model (AVN) makes it a fish. Way to early to be sure. I don't like the general direction they are pointing, though. I think I could get much
more for my house than ins. would cover, if I sell it in the spring.

I don't think this is going to be a fish storm. The islands will get something from her.
