I'll tell you what it's based on. Seen the NAM lately?

Yeah I know its not a tropical forecast model .... but it is something to consider nevertheless.

No -removed-...models have been trending west since last night..Katrina might actually never make a turn and hit Mexico.

Alicia was major to those of us who went through it..And while I don't feel the Galveston area is in any danger from this storm, I think people need to take the 3 second rule to think before they post...Someone's reason we won't get stuck is because we have not been hit in years? :eek: ...

I'm also kinda starting to think Texas. Looking at WV, I don't see her pulling north anytime soon. I actually see her maybe riding the southern perimeter of the high and then curving north around the western edge of the high.

From Shoshanna's quote re: Audrey:

A publication by Texas A&M in 1975 suggests that the majority of persons who drowned in Audrey had climbed trees to escape rising waters were bitten by snakes also taking refuge there, then fell into the water.


Just a brief interruption to declare that is one of the creepiest/scariest things I've ever read about hurricanes.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming. . .

I've read everyone else's opinion, so here's mine. After staring at the water vapor loop, I'm not convinced that Kat won't still make a hit in the FL Panhandle. Ridge (judging by the loop) doesn't look as strong as it did 12 hours ago over GA. There's still enough ridging over the NE Gulf to keep her poking along toward the W or WSW for a while longer, but IMO that might not last much longer.

Scorpion wrote:Alicia wasn't a major at landfall. It also formed in the GOM. So the last big hit from a CV cane was in 61.

But how could she turn into a flow from the north?
