Re: ATL: LAURA - Tropical Storm - Discussion
As of now is Houston pretty much ok? Is Laura going to stay on the Louisiana side of the border?

Is there a place the most current individual models are located?

Not in the clear yet. Still plenty of uncertainty and time for things to change. Keep a good eye on it if you're in Houston.

No, the left-most models still take it to Galveston, and if it went that way, you'd probably deal with a very intense hurricane.

The mixture of a building ridge and the interaction between Marco and Laura as they get close to each other.

No model guidance suggests that currently, but doesn’t hurt to stay tuned into the NHC advisories

Re: ATL: LAURA - Tropical Storm - Discussion
What an odd situation we had squally storms earlier from Marco and now they're moving in from Laura. NW Florida is getting weather from Marco Now and SE Florida from Laura. Only in 2020.
We had more rain today than we did from Isaias

Not very likely. I think Matagorda is as far west as it could go.

Worth noting that across the EPS members and more or less the entirety of guidance, the stronger solutions have been a little slower and on the left side of the envelope while the weaker solutions have been quicker and towards the right side of the envelope. That kind of a signal indicates the future track of Laura may be heavily dependent upon its overall organization and intensity when it emerges into the Gulf and the short time period immediately afterwards.
I disagree, I think the causation is the other way around. Storms that are slower and farther left simply get more time over the Gulf. Just my opinion though.
Chicken and egg? Sure they have more time, but if you look at Marco who may have a lot more time (at the surface) and will weaken? Maybe sometimes it is the extra time. Maybe sometimes it's the pattern and something coming up west or northwest gets stronger because of that.

New Center on the SW tip of Cuba?

So where IS the center? On IR it looks like it may be south of Cuba right now, but I know that can be deceiving.

Ones probably Marco and one Laura. Sounds like they’re confusing folks.

What would cause a system to be slower and further left though? Just looking at the simple TAB suite, it looks like a stronger, deeper system would move closer to TABD while a weaker system follows more closely with TABS. That's the same type of spread we're seeing from the dynamic models. How the center interacts with Cuba is also going to play a role, but by the time guidance (in this case, the EPS) exits Cuba, the members are still clustered up pretty tightly. It's only after this point that more spread occurs in the solutions.


24 hours later, the spread increases considerably. All members have spent roughly the same time over the Gulf, but they've already started to sort themselves out by intensity, with the left side containing the stronger members.

The always show the NHC track as the official track, however sometimes they will refer to individual model runs.

I think that is a fair question. Both Guantanamo and Santiago on the south shore of Cuba have been reporting SE winds for an hour or two, which would seem to indicate that the center is southwest of them over the water.

Sure looks like it’s just off the coast to the south
