ATL: Dolly Model Runs
Moderator: S2k Moderators
Also note the CMC takes this NW/NNW in the next 18hrs upto where about it will likely be by the time it makes Yucatan landfall so the track from the CMC is quite possiblwe. Also yeah it really does strengthen this in the Gulf doesn't it!
GFDL takes it into north Mexico, though not all that far away from S.Texas.

How reliable would you say SHIPS would be at 84 hours on shear forecast?

I would expect to see a trough of that magnitude in January not July. If that verifies ... yeah, you gotta believe the Gulf ridge will erode some.
I have got to agree; then again this has got to be the whackiest July I have ever seen or can remember. This is going to get terrifying in August if this continues. I'm waiting for the next batch of model runs to be posted but if we get anything north of Corpus as a consensus oil shoots up to $140 instantly in the morning.

Re: ATL: TS Dolly Model Runs
I believe SHIPS uses the GFS for wind fields/shear and one of the BAMS (medium?) for storm position. I will be corrected if wrong.
With the close concensus of the models, hard to argue, IMHO, with a landfall near/South of BRO.

January troughs are much, much stronger than that. Because that trough will be east of Dolly the stronger it is, in actuality the stronger the Central U.S. ridge will be and the bigger turn to the west Dolly will make. A final landfall between Galveston and Tampico continues to be the general consensus.

Re: ATL: TS Dolly Model Runs
If I were King of the World, I'd have the NWS offices that release sounding balloons at 12Z and 0Z do 6Z and 18Z special releases for the next couple of days. All of the Texas and Louisiana offices, and the South Florida offices as well, so all the models would have solid data each run.
I'd do that for every storm that has potential to become a hurricane and effect the US within the next 3 or 4 days. Although, for Cristobal, it would have been offices in the Carolinas, Virginia and Georgia.
Edit to add: I guess the Gulfstream is the next best thing, but that doesn't fly constantly. ACARS is good too, I suppose, but no website has real time ACARS data. But it would make the models.

Re: ATL: TS Dolly Model Runs
First wrinkle I see in the 18Z runs is that the GFS brings the storm to the mexican coast in 48 hrs and then very slowly moves it northward for the next 24-30 hrs so that it moves in over S TX. The NAM, yes I know its not very good for tropical systems, brings the storm in further north near Corpus.

Model consensous has shown north mex extreme south texas for the better part of two days.

Well, all I Am saying is NONE of the models except the GFDL had this even getting close to shooting the gap of the channel. Look back at some of the past pages...I know where the model consensus is...I am not saying that its gonna go up there, but this storm has relocated further NE. (awaiting NHC recon for confrim though)
