Tonight's Euro says sharp recurve towards Haiti/DR. Pretty much full consensus now. Hopefully people there have some sort of plan. I still think the EC is a bit too weak given what's already happened to Tomas being cat 2. Perhaps the tremendous shear coming in is what the EC is betting on to weaken it quickly, hope that's the case.

Ummmmmm, you might want to share those sentiments with the 0Z UK and GFDL models.

I have a tremendous respect for the GFS model, however please don't toss in the less sophisticated BAM's, LBAR, Persistance and Climo modeling and call "that" a consensus. Sounds like the old politico tag - "The Moral Majority". Had a strong sound to it....., but it was neither.

Look, I too think a "right turn" will eventually take place and might lean towards a more southern route such as the Euro, but an eventual GFS forecast outcome......, but c'mon lets keep things "real" here. I don't look that closely at the smaller zigs and zags of models, but rather take such to rather indicate a more subtle shift or change to steering. :wink:

It's interesting to note the ecmwf does not really strengthen this as it moves into the eastern Caribbean. It strengthens rapidly once the gulf of Mexico trough lifts out.

Looking at tomas now maybe it will just get this right.

This could be a major intensity forecast bust from the nhc if the euro holds
........just an aside, if the euro verifies...jamaica is in for a serious rain event...easily 48 hrs of semi continuous inner core precip..of course, better jamaica than haiti

The ECM still not overly keen on Tomas though the models have not been all that great with strength with recent systems in the NW Caribbean and indeed they were way too weak with this one as well in the short term.

Either way the current track is one that really is attention grabbing at the moment and most models now take at least a slow moving TS over that region which on its own will cause mammoth problems in terms of rain.

I suspect its too far east there CYcloneye but the general idea looks good with regards to a small loop before it steadily moves off to the N/NNE.

Also note how much it weakens this system, takes it down to what 40-45kts!

General trend seems to be a weakening phase from shear as it starts to move west/WSW then it starts to get pulled up by the trough and strengthen, perhaps by a fair amount as it hits one of the Central Caribbean countries...not good trends at all!

That GFDL is truly horrific!

A worrying trend there emerging of it hitting close to Haiti in 4-5 days time as quite possibly a strengthening hurricane again...needs close watching.

The gfdl run is a worst case scenario. The track seems reasonable since it is november.

Now apparently.

Snowcane, you have a lot to learn about how models work and which ones to put weight on.

12z ecmwf moves the system more quickly to the west then dissipates it.

The 12Z Euro has a 1003 mb low south of Jamaica at hour 96 and a 1003 mb low to the northwest of Haiti at hour 120. I am 99% certain that the low in question is Tomas, and I don't have Florida blinders on.
