Tropical Storm Bertha Model Runs
Moderator: S2k Moderators
By his or her posts, perhaps simeon9benjamin doesn't live in a hurricane prone area, and, doesn't realize what a westward moving system would mean for those who live in areas such as South Florida...
By the tone of several other posters, it seems they are pleased that the models all seem to go with a major weakness in the subtropical ridge - that would be Divine intervention, for sure, since it would come at just the right time...
I recall this weakness also happening during the approach of three developing systems in the same area, during the 2005 season, and, that alone prevented an even more disasterous outcome for everyone involved...

of course, it would be wrong to take liberties in assuming this will happen this time, so, we will see...

It still looks like it will be a few more days before we really know what will happen.
Correct, but if it doesn't develop quickly it probably won't develop at all. Upper-level winds are not as favorable for development farther west with that TUTT extending southwest to the eastern Caribbean.

At what point would the system be deep enough to be influenced towards the NW. Does TD status keep the system shallow enough to go W?

Re: Re:
Think you're correct with the TUTT. This is somewhat reflected in all the 12Z runs.
FREEBIE model map
TCFA remains Invest 92L but Navy is bouncing between Invest and NONAME 02.
12Z still at 25Kts with a fair amount of shear. Maybe at 2PM but not enthusiastic.

Good map Scott is there anyway you can zoom that in just a little to see the indivdual tracks a little better?
Does seem to be a WNW track out till about 45W then hints of a more Nw/NNW track after that.
12z GFS still taking similar track as before and also still getting fairly strong as well again:

Re: INVEST 92L Models Thread
12Z GFS recurves it, but then stalls it, with a hint of WSW movement between between hour 168 and 180. Don't know what it does beyond that, but due to 180 hour resolution lobotomy of GFS, I wouldn't put much faith into it.

Re: INVEST 92L Models Thread
The Canadian has a hurricane moving WNW to NW at the end of run.The CMC is much closer to Bermuda than GFS.

Re: INVEST 92L Models Thread
It is turning NW as mentioned above on Canadian, but 500 mb weakness it was turning towards already passing future storm 92L by to the Northeast. If one assumed the Canadian was correct (yes, I know), it would probably start bending back to the West.
However, it should be far enough North to easily be turned safely East of the US by the next trough moving offshore at 144 hours.

KWT,
Yes, every model generates its own page, with zoom-in. 3 years ago I had to begin charging to keep the web site solvent and ad-free...but hey...it's just 15 bucks (23 if you want text messaging) for Atlantic and EPAC all season! http://www.midatlanticwx.com/modelmap.htm [/end of shameless pitch]
Shear is progged to be marginal while a more northerly component is likely.

Right now it remains an Invest. Virtually every model I ingest gets this to a TD by tomorrow. The CMC kills it off while the GFS brings it to a 62Kt tropical storm next Monday. We'll see.

Re: INVEST 92L Models Thread
The 12z UKMET is the most west model for 92L so far.It reaches 20n-55w but in a weak form.

Looks like the same idea as yesterday. The models that strengthen the system rapidly (such as the GFS) turn it NW quickly, while the models that keep the system fairly weak (such as the UKMET) keep it on more of a W or WNW track. Which scenario eventually wins out will really have more to do with the strength of the system than anything else (IMO).
