forecasts tend to change drastically from each TWO for developing systems this year. I wouldn't hold much weight on one TWO until if and when it gets 3 to 5 days to approaching land.

Well it is too early to say, but if it moved west it could either be a Caribbean then GOM issue or it could be an EC issue.


Based on the latest NHC track there is no way possible they could be that far off and this thing ends up in the Carrib & GOM.


I disagree, models often trender further and further west over time.
Plus, there's only 2 scenerio's. Either it curves out to sea in the weakness in the ridge, or it doesn't and heads westward towards the islands....It can still go North of the Islands, but it may also enter the Carib sea. The current models are assuming that it will hit the weakness, if it doesn't, then the models will be DRASTICALLY shifted westward.

Unless the track keeps shifting left as Stewart hinted at as a possibillity in the discussion. If it shifts left enough that it enters the caribbean, then the current forecast track wont be the forecast track no more and they will be right.

as steve lyons said, the chance of it getting 3900 miles across the ocean is unlikely as 35 of 39 canes that have formed east of 35w have recurved. 4 have though, so remain vigilant

well i thought the nhc doesn't rely strictly on the models in the first place and creates a track accordingly?

Climatology means nothing on a storm-by-storm basis. They are governed only by physics, not statistics. I.E., Vince of 2005 made landfall in Spain. First one ever.

AND WE MAY SEE THE CYCLONE
TURN OUT TO BE MORE OF A WEST-RUNNER THAN A RECURVER THROUGH THE
STRONG SUBTROPICAL RIDGE LOCATED TO THE NORTH.

BUT this may be developing slower than they thought. In fact, on the latest advisory they reduced the wind speed for the first 48 hours....If we want it to recurve, we want it to strengthen. The quicker the stregthens the better.

But you might be right, it can still recurve. We'll just have to wait and see.

Statement as of 5:00 am AST on August 22, 2006


...Outer rain bands spreading over southernmost Cape Verde
Islands...
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Cape Verde Islands.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected within the warning area within the next 24 hours.

For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.

At 500 am AST...0900z...the center of Tropical Depression Four was
located near latitude 12.8 north...longitude 24.6 west or about 140
miles...225 km...south of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands.

The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph...26
km/hr. A gradual turn toward the northwest is expected today.
On the forecast track...the depression will be passing just to
the southwest of the southwesternmost Cape Verde Islands in a few
hours. However...outer rain bands and squalls will continue to
affect the southern Cape Verde Islands today.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph...55 km/hr...with higher
gusts. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm
during the next 24 hours.

Estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb...29.74 inches.

Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches...with isolated maximum amounts
of 10 inches in areas of higher terrain...are possible over the
southern Cape Verde Islands in association with the depression.
These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mud
slides.

Repeating the 500 am AST position...12.8 N...24.6 W. Movement
toward...west-northwest near 16 mph. Maximum sustained winds...35
mph. Minimum central pressure...1007 mb.

An intermediate advisory will be issued by the National Hurricane
Center at 800 am AST followed by the next complete advisory at 1100
am AST.

Tropical Depression Four Discussion Number 3

Statement as of 5:00 am EDT on August 22, 2006



the overall cloud pattern has increased slightly in organization
over the past few hours and new convection has been developing
close to the estimated center. However...satellite intensity
estimates remain 30 kt from TAFB and SAB...and 25 kt from AFWA.
Therefore...the initial intensity will be held at 30 kt.
The initial motion estimate is 285/14...slightly faster than
before. Global models remain in good agreement on a west-
northwest to northwestward motion south of a mid-tropospheric
ridge through 48 hours. Thereafter...the UKMET model depicts a
weaker cyclone...that is steered more westward by the low- to
mid-level flow. The GFS and GFDL depict a stronger system that
continues northwest into a weakness in the ridge that develops over
the central Atlantic. The official track forecast remains a little
left of the dynamical models early in the forecast period...but
is near the middle of the model guidance beyond 72 hours...and is
closest to the GFDL and CONU consensus.
The depression is forecast to remain in a favorable atmospheric
environment and over warm water for the next few days...so gradual
strengthening is anticipated. The official intensity forecast
closely follows the SHIPS guidance and is unchanged from the
previous advisory. If current trends continue...the depression
could become a tropical storm later this morning. It should be
noted that the SHIPS model halts strengthening at days 4 and 5 due
to increasing southerly shear associated with an upper-level trough
over the central Atlantic.


Forecast positions and Max winds

initial 22/0900z 12.8n 24.6w 30 kt
12hr VT 22/1800z 13.7n 26.6w 35 kt
24hr VT 23/0600z 15.1n 29.3w 40 kt
36hr VT 23/1800z 16.7n 32.0w 45 kt
48hr VT 24/0600z 18.3n 34.8w 50 kt
72hr VT 25/0600z 21.5n 40.5w 60 kt
96hr VT 26/0600z 24.5n 46.0w 65 kt
120hr VT 27/0600z 27.5n 51.5w 65 kt

Its a longgg way from the US now and I think its too early to say that even if it doesnt develop rapidly it will make it this far west.

You are right about the media. Thats why my only 2 sources of tropical cyclone info are NHC and storm2k.
