Re: ATL: 95L - Models
The HWRF is up to its old tricks with a 960s Cat 2/3 in the Caribbean. It has very minimal gain in latitude for 95L until the last moment, when it’s like “you know what screw Haiti” and suddenly 95L takes a sharp turn north, making landfall as a 90-95 kt Cat 2.
The main takeaway from this run is that if 95L gains latitude much more slowly than the GFS/Euro show and it makes it into the Caribbean without hitting the GAs, then it could have the opportunity to become significant. The same would probably be true if it stays north of the big islands instead of south.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

At the end of the 12Z HWRF 92L barely clips the southern tip of the DR and looks like it will make landfall in Western Haiti.

Re: ATL: 95L - Models
12z ECMF - a few less member, and a few less yellow members

12z GEFS

latest spaghetti - GEFS plus globals plus OFCL
(white is consensus)

Re: ATL: 95L - Models
18z GFS has a stronger vortex, and it misses Hispaniola with 95L tracking north into the Bahamas once it reaches Puerto Rico.
By 7-9 days out, 95L gets strung out over the Bahamas, suggesting shear might be present at the time (shear forecasts on the models, as we all know, are rather unreliable more than a few days out). The GFS is probably overdoing the effects of shear due to not having a well-developed TC at that time and location.

18Z HWRF loses Fred and loses 95L.

Re: ATL: 95L - Models
Check out the monster high pressure and 50kts winds at 200mb in 126 hours. This is partly ripping up 95L. What is that?

Seems like the 18z HWRF is playing Where’s Waldo with the two systems and failing miserably. Given how poorly it initialized Fred, I’m guessing all of the 18z HWRF runs are problematic.

Not sure but here is the corresponding shear chart. Looks hostile across the Bahamas and SW Atlantic. This is only 5 days from now so certainly possible:

Signs of life on this GFS run….lookout
Ridging off the Carolinas keeps a strengthening hurricane stalled east of the Bahamas. This run is sure to open some eyeballs

Re: ATL: 95L - Models
The 0z GFS run is literally like a weaker version of Dorian. Freeport and Great Abaco almost certainly do not need this.

Unless explicitly stated, all info in my posts is based on my own opinions and observations. Tropical storms and hurricanes can be extremely dangerous. Do not think you can beat Mother Nature. Refer to an accredited weather research agency or meteorologist if you need to make serious decisions regarding an approaching storm.

Some potential tracks this year literally mimic Dorian's "what if" scenario had it kept going west, so hopefully we don't see that come into play this early in the season.

GFS stalls 95L near the Bahamas and it just keeps strengthing down to 946 MB.

Can't drop it once it develops.

My thoughts on the GFS is wow and hopefully Florida keeps its guard up because that’s a serious hurricane in that location and not far from the east coast

That would likely be a cat 5... and with that track, I am more worried about the Bahamas who just took the bullet for us in 2019.

Verbatim is very close ridge wise to being a nasty hit for Florida to the Carolinas
