Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Could this be turning into another Ike where it just keeps moving south and west all the way through?
NVM, the pathway north opens at 138 hours. The 588 lines separate with ridges east and west.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
There was an opening briefly to turn north but has been much more pronounced in the earlier runs for days. Now the high is still looking in tact and troughs lifting and now nowhere to go go but west and wnw.
Edit. There it is but is it too little too late, only time will tell.

Cuba has mountains but in the SE part of the country.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
At 120hr, very large SW shift. The atlantic ridge is apparently much stronger than thought. And we are still 4 days away from DR - still time for even more shifts south. I think in a couple of days the analog we are going to be talking about is Georges.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
If these west and south trends keep up it will go over all the Greater Antilles though. BTW, does this run have any data from recon in it?

Ike like track? Ike also moved west-southwest to southwest. Just that I was thinking Isabel earlier as I didn't think such would occur again.

I was wondering the same thing, if any of the info from the first recon was in this model run.

Irma is stuck in the COL area between two ridges at hr-138. Could sit and spin around for some time.
