No that is not a relaiable track for Isabel as it is going to be well north from Georges where it entered the caribbean and made landfall in Puerto Rico.

I would say a track more like Andrew's is more likely that that one, as far as the progression of Isabel while over the Atlantic.

I agree with PTrackerLA. Isabel is just too far north.

A trough will likely stop any repeat of Georges

IMHO, a Georges scenario is unlikely. Areas west of Pensacola are probably safe from the Cape Verde storms coming up from the SE for this season, although a storm spawned in the Gulf is certainly not out of the question. As for Isabel, I don't see how she can get very far west of the Florida peninsula, if at all, without a rather abrupt northward turn per several runs of the GFS today. By around the 18th to the 23rd of September we should start to see a major amplification pattern developing across the lower 48 bringing a real taste of fall weather down the plains. Isabel will take the flow out in front of that, and unfortunately, endanger a yet to be determined area of the extreme eastern Gulf or the east coast.

I'm more concerned with the Andrew path, which has been on my mind watching this system. Time will tell. I'm watching, but, again, the storm is very far away, still, so we have plenty of time to watch nature unfold its' intentions.

I mentioned the possiblity of a George track the other day at HurricaneCentral. But it appears that that senario is becoming less likely, at least according to a few of the experienced posters here.

I agree with most others here, as well... A path similar to Georges would be the most
southern route, which isn't expected.

At this point, it looks like Isabel's track will be further north than Isabel. Plus there is a chance that Isabel could make a right turn at or before it reaches Florida and hit the Carolinas and/or further up the coast.

As I mentioned in another thread, several minutes ago... it appears, as of now, that Isabel may take a track similar to Georges in direction, not in position.
