Salute!

Those things there this time of year concern we Panhandle folks.

Remember Opal 1995.

Forecast to go into Mexico not the panhandle the cold front is supposed to force it southward.

Can someone explain this one? I always thought fronts/troughs 'picked up' storms not 'pushed' them further south (like a ridge.)

12z GFS now gets a brief TS out of this.

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.

The 12Z UKMET does nothing tropically with this, but it does have a well organized surface low that moves very slowly north til Thursday followed by a stall and subsequent drift south into MX. For the record, the 0Z UKMET had TCG at hour 36 and then moved slowly NE followed by a curve SE toward just off the NW tip of the Yucatan where it dissipated:

Salute!

We Panhandle and LA/MS/AL folks have seen this before. It's one of the things that concerns us when the WX folks say the thing will meander about in BoC.

I hope some of the forecasts are correct and Karl will head west or even southwest and hit land.

UKMET formally had it back as a TC on 0Z run with SE movement til dissipation the last 24 hours:

Since there are concerns that Karl may be "picked up by the approaching front", let me explain why that won't happen.

The front is not your typical NE-SW oriented cold front, it's more of an east-west oriented front. The primary steering current for Karl will be the ridge (500mb) that is building eastward across Mexico today. The ridge will steer Karl southward into southern Mexico. You can see the ridge building east on the image below:

Image

The entire northern Gulf is dominated by very strong westerly wind shear. Those strong west winds aloft are digging southward into the Bay of Campeche. Nothing could survive that shear and make it into the Gulf. Shear will be increasing across the BoC over the next 24-48 hours, causing Karl to weaken.

http://wxman57.com/images/KarlShear.JPG

Image

Finally, here's a plot of about 130-140 different models + ensembles. Not one takes Karl north of 24N. They all see the building ride to its north. If you live on the Gulf coast, you'll be fine. This is not a situation similar to Opal in 1995. Even Florida will be fine. No threat there. By the way, Canadian ensembles are yellow, GFS in orange, ECMWF is purple.

Can someone explain this one? I always thought fronts/troughs 'picked up' storms not 'pushed' them further south (like a ridge.)

For the most part tropical systems move roughly east to west. When they encounter fronts, those front are usually pushing off the North American continent and they hit the east side of them. If you look at the winds that means they usually are rounding around the western edge of a high pressure system to the east of the front that is itself moving east.

In this case however the center of the high will be be to the northeast of the storm. So as it moves south the storm will get pushed by it, and eventually get pushed west by the winds around the high. Think of a fish storm in the middle of the Atlanic hitting up against the Bermuda high and getting pushed west. But in this case land interaction (and I assume dry air and shear) will kill it.

Here's today's 12Z UKMET, which is almost spot on vs its current recon based position. This has its current NE drift stop by tomorrow morning followed by a turn to the SSE the subsequent 48 hours:
