ATL: IRMA - Models

Close your eyes Floridians!

[Hurricane Andrew]

GFS/ENS showing a <980mb storm at 210hrs is intriguing indeed...

strongest ive seen yet whoa

[Hurricane Andrew]

And, just for kicks, the ENS have a significant Jose signal following the same path a few days later.

It's ridiculous

GFS/ENS showing a <980mb storm at 210hrs is intriguing indeed...

Even worse, a bunch of the members show future Jose making landfall within a week of where Irma did.

It's almost like this season is punishing us for 12 years of relative calm.

Luckily we are still so far out

[Happy Pelican]

Hahahaha the GFS wipes me from the face of the earth.

Me too, my friend. I'm about a half mile from where the roller coaster went into the ocean, on a little island between the barrier island and the mainland. I just saw the GFS AMD NEARLY THREW UP.

[SouthFLTropics]

HWRF a hair slower but essentially in the same location as 12z

[SouthDadeFish]

18Z HWRF is going nuts with Irma. Down to 923 mb at 108 hours.

Well, we are still in the D8-D10 range. I expect the 00z suite will do something different, lol.

For the first time, the GFS and Euro ensembles are pretty much in agreement in 8 days. A major hurricane near the Bahamas.

[Raebie]

Hell, might as well just put a map of the east coast on my dartboard right now.

Close your eyes Floridians!

What in the wide world of sports is going on around here?? That's crazy. Ironically, now I'm feeling more comfortable that we are being targeted at 9 plus days away.

[ColdMiser123]

A significantly more robust WATL ridge is the primary culprit in bringing almost all members into the United States.

It's interesting to see the GEFS spread considerably to the southwest in the medium range when compared to the operational run. The GEFS envelope is generally thought to be a little under-dispersive in many cases, but the operational run isn't even in the envelope.

[SunnyThoughts]

So what would make the operational run sooooo much farther North than the ensembles?

[SouthFLTropics]

HWRF about a degree further north...Looks like it will spare the islands a direct hit this time. Going bonkers on intensity at 927MB, 120 Knots

Close your eyes Floridians!

A lot at stake with this storm maybe they are bringing in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)? They used the supercomputers there to process all the Keyhole satellite data back in the day.
