These model changes are nuts.
It almost seems like the GFS is somewhat following the Euro but the one who’s nailing it is the UK!
Well unlike the Euro it brings it well inland. The question is will it put it back in the Gulf?
That’s certainly one of the million dollar questions!

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Models
With the GFS taking the South solution we still don't have any consensus between the major models. A few have followed that South but there are still others that turn early and go North

Technically the ICON has shown a SW dive over the entirety of the model's runs since Sunday (with a few runs diving SW into Cuba). It was also the first model to pickup on Dorian moving east of PR (12 straight runs).

Because the strength and placement of the incoming ridge (for later in the period) is still in question, frustrating I know.
As an aside, I can't help but laugh when normies (people who do not immerse themselves in the weather and models as we do here) lecture me that the world will end according to computer models in twelve soon to be eleven years. I'm like "really, do tell".

That’s certainly one of the million dollar questions!Did ICON and UK both send it out to the GOM ?
Yup they do

ICON and UKMET have been very consistent. I will be impressed if they nail this storm's path this far out and new GFS and Euro do not.

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Models
Did the 18z models ingest the upper air data Gulfstream sampled, or do we have to wait for 00z?

Yes it was. Ironically, its 12z run today was the first run where the dip disappeared. Lol
