GFS did a mic drop. I'm in shock. And I'm in South Florida. Even if this run doesn't remotely verify the hordes at Sams Club tomorrow will be trouble all the same.

In general, models perform terribly with intensity forecasts. Below are how the models have performed thus far with Irma (I haven't included the last 2 model suites):

Verbatim that brings tropical storm force winds to the Fort Walton Beach area which is of course on the weak side of the storm.

Sam's Club @ Tradition Port Saint Lucie was already out of water later today...

HWRF shows close calls with Barbuda and Anguilla...comfortably close from Puerto Rico on a WNW heading at ~72hr

HWRF and HMON are both significantly weaker...

Well, they say the safest place to be this far out is dead center of the models, because they're never this good this far out. Hopefully that bodes true for Florida, because that is as 'Worst Case Scenario' as it gets.

I'm staying up tonight for the ECMWF, first time in a while. Have a feeling it's that kind of week ahead. I'm curious to see how far this south and westward trend continues. Like others have said, early shades of Ike. Theoretically, what is the farthest west that could be in play for Irma before it turns north?

Would bring very strong winds to a whole lot of people - still a pretty decent looking storm way inland over Tennessee, albeit rapidly weakening.

922mb compared to 911mb ain't that much of a difference. The HMON should not be showing 860s in the first place either. With recon data in it I think that fixed it.

Yes, Irma rides I-95 right up through the entire East Coast, all the way through Jacksonville and up into Georgia on that latest GFS run.

This would be the most devastating worst case scenario ever imaginable for the state. Wow!!

This is beyond a nightmarish scenario I can assure you all of that if this comes any where close to coming to fruition!

Yeah HMON had 857mb earlier would be epic

Yeah. With recon data in the models now there's literally no reason for the model to show that.

The last several runs of the models all indicate a hard right turn. So, I guess it's a matter of timing - forward speed of Irma vs an opening in the ridge. We really need that oceanic synoptic data.

If you run the last 4 and only count the last reading. Up to 81 hours:

HWRF
00Z - 918
18Z - 912
12Z - 925
06Z - 931

For the HMON yes. The HWRF is only a 6mb difference at this point.

Entire South East and Central Florida will be wrecked. 300 Billion might not come close to this estimate.


You're absolutely correct. Just thank God there is no chance of it happening.


You can never say there is no chance of it happening, just 2 weeks ago we said there is no way a storm can dump 50 inches of rain in one spot, and look what Harvey did.


Sorry, didn't really explain myself adequately there. Yes i agree that there is a chance that someday that scenario could happen.

But until the Euro and UK come back with showing a sub-900 cat 5 going directly up florida's spine, i am not buying it for a second.

With that 00z GFS run and assuming the trend West continues, we can't even rule out the GOM anymore.
