Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
The upper low that steers this into Florida doesn't even develop on the GFS until a week from now. Many more changes coming...

It doesn't plow through Cuba, it stays on the coast or just off the coast so yes.
That's all it would take for Cuba to weaken the storm pretty significantly.
That's false. It would weaken the storm minimally at best. We had Wilma roll across Florida from SW to NE and she didn't skip a beat. A storm that the eye stays partially over water especially of this magnitude would not be severely diminished at all.

Wow just realized CMC almost the same track but weaker. If Euro shows this then this is a problem.

A big thank you to everyone who contributes their opinion. I highly appreciate being able to come here and get an insight that offers more than local weather stations.
I know right? Chanel 3 is the worst

Even if you add 50mb to that it's still a disaster and I don't see anywhere for me and my family to run to.
State EOC cannot even begin to evacuate for this. Contraflow on the Turnpike has never been implemented but there are plans for it. Even with it, you can't move that many people out of South Florida. Your best bet is to take refuge at an approved Red Cross Hurricane Shelter. I've already discussed this with my wife. If this looks like it is going to play out this way, then that is the option we are leaning at if the intensity is indeed this bad. The only way you make it out of the state for Evac would probably be to leave by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.
I think they would have to get with airlines and have free flights to evacuation areas with buses to transport them to where they are needed.

The storm literally scrapes the coast of Cuba for 24 hours. If you don't think that's going to cause the storm to weaken a decent amount I'm not really sure what to tell you.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Earlier this evening I asked Aric what would happen in the Tampa Saint Pete Sarasota area if the storm went up the East Coast of Florida. He explained being on the west side not to bad. I guess if the most recent GFS verifies and goes up the spine of the state that answer may change a bit.

Lol at Maue trying to downplay hype. They are the kings of hype though i still support their pattern experience. HWRF right on the same spot as the last 2 runs at 27 hours.

Where is the rest of the GFS run??? Seemed like posting them after next Sunday, or are they just delayed?

The UKMET and GFS taking this into Cuba needs to be seriously considered. The UKMET has been the best model so far with track forecast.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Not waiting up for the Euro or GFS related hurricane guidance.
Exact track will continue to shift around - but not liking the general idea. No magical trough dropping down this time...but...still 6-7 days out is still model fantasy land.
Environmental flights will start feeding additional data into the global models starting Monday night. That should help...
