If you want an out to sea scenario, you want a WEAK TROUGH!!! This is said many times, but needs to be repeated. A stronger trough is going to have a sharper tilt, if not a negative tilt. That will only bring the storm inland. A weak trough is more zonal
I hope I can shed a little light on this. Please, promets, correct me if I state this wrong:
Think of a LOW pressure trough like a bowl...it will draw the storm INTO it, like water spilling INTO a bowl.
A HIGH pressure ridge is like the bowl turned upside down. It will repel the storm AWAY from and around it.
Michelle, you are genius. You have finally explained the high pressure ridge and the low pressure trough thing in a way I can understand...

I have a separate tab open and I go back and fourth to compare lat/lon and ridging/toughing.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
So if Irma slows down sooner than later, should give the ridge time to strengthen. Ya think?

I am going to get a decent blow if it verifies.

Basically all models so far today have shifted SW overall.

According to Jeff Master's most recent post, the adjusted ECMWF operational run (red line) takes Irma right into southern Florida. The same scenario is shown by three of the five so-called "high probability clusters" (which are probably adjusted EPS members). However, the WSW movement in the Bahamas seems very suspect to me...

What is that red line? Why is that RED LINE going right over my house?!?!?!?!?

Slower is not good. Slower allows the trough to pull out and miss influencing Irma

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
trough should lift out on the by 120 hours.. looks similar to the 00z it terms of timing of trough but irma is slower.. possible florida landfall this time.

Possibly fools us all, and goes under P.R. to Jamaica. Models seem to trend slower and s.
