Tropical Storm Chris

[CronkPSU]

I want to take this chance to say thanks to Derek again and everyone else for their expert insights, as someone living in florida I really do appreciate it

How high does the Dvorak estimate have to be for Chris to be classified as a hurricane?

[Scorpion]

4.0

[PTrackerLA]

Not sure what to make of the track. The models seem determined now to send Chris over Hispanola or at least Cuba. Wonder if the NHC will change their track later or if they think the models are underperforming right now.

[Rainband]

Rainband,

you are looking at the wrong models. Only the GFDL is valid in this instance, but the rest of the CONU is well north of that track

I was reverse -removed-. I can't imagine another hurricane hitting the United States.

Reverse -removed- - I didn't think that happened here.

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not but I saw the Accuwx track on the local news and their track goes all the way to TX/MX,but almost all the Gulf coast is in the cone.

I simply cannot see this track verifying. The system I (remember I am saying I) think would have to ride the periphery of the area of high pressure in the GOM. I can't see it traveling straight west and ignoring the High.

[HouTXmetro]

well there track has been N of the consensus since last night. I don't see why they will change now.

will he try to copy Rita as he is wanting to?

[Kennethb]

Typical tropical delimena. Many will make a prediction, a few will be correct.

On serious note, we in Louisiana are just beginning to make signficant progress. It seems like a bad dream that we could have to deal with a storm so soon.

Too, How much will we be paying for gas if Chris does cross the GOM?

Do you really want to know?

[Cape Verde]

I could have made Accuweather's forecast eyepath. Somewhere between Belize and Panama City, or maybe still 250 miles offshore.

[KatDaddy]

Regardless of who thinks what about Joe B and Accu-weather its a very scary possibilty for us Rita and Katrina victims of last year.

Watch this movie I found last year.

The DR is not gonna kill Chris, unfortunately.

[perk]

Derek let's hope this is the last time you will have to tell those (it's gonna hit hispanolia) members that their looking at the wrong models.

[HouTXmetro]

looks like it's wobbling back North.... now we can lay off the crashing into Hispanolia scenario

[Brent]

The DR is not gonna kill Chris, unfortunately.

Yeah, I don't think so. I do think it will produce some squalls for Hispanola, but I just don't see a track like that happening.

[Normandy]

First of all, for it to bury itself into Hispanola it would have to hit PR, and to hit PR it needs to move due west.

[gatorcane]

Busy at work today but just checked the latest sat pic and as I suspected Chris is looking better and better.

I think it has the possibility of being quite problematic down the road and expect a track that is north of the Greater Antilles.....
