It's already above 15N, even though it's only a 40W - that says a lot...

The center is analyzed by mets themselves


That's right. Dvorak analyses the shape of the storm. Sorry!!!!

It seems to be getting its act together, what do you think Derek?

Yea, and even though Helene was at 13.7N just 24hrs ago and is now 15N there are plenty of people who are still insisting that it's going west, it's going west!

Seriously, though, the NoGaps is getting an awful lot of love this morning!

Where are the NHC models on the OSU site? I haven't seen them for the last few runs.

Just looking at the vloop with zoom you can see that it is going more west than north now. If that is the true center.JIOM

Each and every one of those models are on crack since she's not going NW right now like they all say.

If the NRL position is correct it's already going north of my track. It's stronger and deeper now, so it may be feeling a weakness in the upper-level ridge to it's north now:

I'm not suggest it's going to recurve any sooner. It may be that be that TPC estimate a bad center again this morning. Not unusual during the nightime hours.

I just went to the Ohio State site and I don't think we have seen how the models have been initiated since sometime yesterday. I can not get the data from SFWMD either. I wonder what's up with that?

The GFDN turning it W is more interesting than the NOGAPS to me...

One thing about these occasional west-run outliers - they all have Helene quite weak. The last time the UKM did it it had Helene never go below 1000 mb. In that NOGAPS run, Helene is about 1005 mb towards the end. So the NOGAPS is saying that if Helene is a wussy, fizzly TS, she'll make it to N of the islands (but still at sea) before the monster front bats her out of the park- which I find believable.

Isn't the GFDN the run that is based on the NoGaps model? I think a pro-met probably can correct me on that.

That is true, Curt, but I have found that the global models do not handle central pressure in tropical entities very well.

SouthFloridawx,yes Helene looks much better and you will see the winds bumped at 11 up to 60-65 mph.

1.: I dont think so, because they have been disagreeing for a while now, just like all of the othe models have.

2.: Are the GFDN and the GFDL related?

Don't think NOGAPS is that out to lunch. Check out the 06GFS. It shows a real slow crawl West towards end of run before being ejected out. That is all NOGAPS might be showing at end of that run and then later it could be ejected out.
