Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Not as much room for shifts as a few days ago, very scary run for Florida.
You'd have to hope it shifts SW towards Cuba so the island could shred Irma before any Florida impact.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
This seems like a carbon copy of the 0z run last night which was supposed to be a nightmare on acid, clown from IT model run. So now what?

So Aric, is that low looking a little more substantial to you now, or do you still have some skepticism?
the models are persistent with it thats for sure.. but again.. its a feature that does not exist yet so I will hold off for now.. with anything past 5 days..

Keeps coming NNW with center about to Asheville at 186 hours. Jose again gets blocked and deflected back. Not sure what the end game has in store for him. Last run had him coming back and swiping NC as a Cat 3.

Hmm. Guess it's another wait for the Euro. Gotta work tomorrow so I'll check it in the morning. Not sure I'm buying this track. It's just...odd. Need to see the ensembles.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
So, wouldn't the fujiwara effect come into play with Jose so close and start to pull Irma east a little?

That was me. 2017, with our second Cat 4 hit in the wings, is getting to be a generational year as well. For those of us who are semi old, 1985, 1988, 1998, 2004 and 2005 are some of the benchmark years with 2004 and 2005 both featuring multiple major hits. 2017 looks to join that this weekend. We still have a good 45 days of prime season ahead too. Probably belongs in the "Indicators for 2017" thread on Talkin' Tropics. But the indicators to me are there are spots near the US Coast that can support extremely powerful hurricanes.

Too far away. Nicole was closer than that and couldn't influence Matthew's track.

There's no reason why you can't get a very intense hurricane as late as November as well - 1932 a classic example...

It's hard not to think of the Labor Day hurricane when you watch that model run. It's happened before.
nothing like the Labor Day hurricane though. That was basically a large tornado in terms of its size. This one is gigantic! This is a large, WPAC typhoon moving in

Wasn't the GFS modeling Irma to be in the 920's now, east of the islands? GFS likely is 20-30mb too low. Not that it makes a difference impact wise, anyways.
No, GFS was in the 960s east of the islands

Well I will have to say that if the Florida shield exists then it must be activated immediately! ![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

It's got to go west at some point anyway. Aric was showing the cutoff down in the lower MS Valley which acts to draw it up and pinwheel it back while a surface high from Canada comes down from the north. Straight physics that even under the last run where it went back out and came in near GA/SC Border, it came up and hooked west toward southern Indiana. ECMWF shows it as well but it comes in farther north and on a NW heading through the SE US toward WV/SE Ohio.
More 18Z runs should be out soon.

This would basically be Katrina or Rita at peak intensity making landfall.

I remember the early Katrina models showed it curving up in the big bend of Florida. Not buying it

Where was the 18Z GFS initialized this run?
Looked like it was down near 16.5N at 54W.

modeling is MUCH MUCH better than it was 12 years ago
We all know Florida is likely to get it. The question is does Hispañiola and or Cuba weaken it first?

Not sure Katrina turned out better. Unless Cuba's mountains rip this thing apart, this will be a once-in-a-generation landfall somewhere.
