Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Further west again on the 12z GFS. Track very similar to NHC's track I believe. Well, this is why you do not quit preparing if you live in Florida.

RFQ winds are like...10 miles off the coast. One wobble west, and verbatim, 150mph+ sustained would hit land.

It is 42 miles north of Cape Canaveral.
I believe the previous 5 day point was somewhere inland Broward County, now it's just SE of Daytona. Irma's going to be picking up speed as she crosses Florida.

Jose sure is getting fairly close to Irma. Wonder if it will have any affect on her.

Looks like the shortwave is in Alabama, that's different but Irma should head back off the coast, but what it means down the road...

People are RETURNING supplies. Now we see the mad rush to get them back, should the ECM also come west. My goodness...I have chills. I really do.

Total amateur but I feel like as we get closer this windshield wiper effect will likely equalize over Florida back to where we were the other day. I felt this Matthew 2.0 scenario felt a little too good to be true. That being said this is just one run and it may go east again later. Who knows, very frustrating when you live right in that cone

I temporarily locked the thread so I can clean it up. The stupid posts are coming in too fast.

The NHC warned us to not base decisions on model runs.

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Well... that sure throws a wrench into things... I wish Channel 10 in Miami didn't post those spaghetti plots; people in the office here in fort Lauderdale are already calling Irma, Matthew 2.

Disclaimer: 50% of the time I have no clue of what I am talking about. Chances are I am taking a less than educated guess that sounds good because 10 years ago I stole Mike Watkins book 'The Hurricane and its Impact'. For official information please direct yourself to the NHC and their cadre of weather geniuses.
