The Nassau conditions are significant, but the Key West data is 8 days old. :wink:

NAM isnt the best model by any means but interesting non-the-less. It also takes the t-storms in the western gulf and makes it a low pressure system headed towards Brownsville TX. area.

I think the winds you are seeing are just the pressure gradient.
How could a system over the NW Bahamas be giving Tampa Bay direct winds?

Peak wind here in West Palm has been 20 with gust to 24.
We would certainly be seeing higher winds than Tampa Bay if this had developed as we're pretty close to whatever center 94L (I guess soon to be TD16) has.

Yeah you're right it's the gradient. The winds have calmed now. But are
occasionally gusty due to gradient.

Models misinterpreting

#273 Postby vaffie » Mon Sep 05, 2005 4:27 pm

I think I know why the models are again saying it's going to go north up the east coast, when the satellite picture seems to indicate it's going west. It's because the center seems to be in the process of reforming to the north, and thus the models are taking that as if it has moved to the north, and so they continue to drift it north, whereas, in actuality, because it has reformed to the north and is closer to better steering winds from the big high in New England, it will actually start moving wester faster. What do y'all think?

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
530 PM EDT MON SEP 5 2005

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON HURRICANE
MARIA... LOCATED ABOUT 475 MILES EAST OF BERMUDA... AND HAS
INITIATED ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL DEPRESSION FIFTEEN... LOCATED
ABOUT 350 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF BERMUDA.

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY JUST
OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST OF FLORIDA AND OVER THE NORTHWESTERN
BAHAMAS. WHILE THIS SYSTEM HAS NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED THIS
AFTERNOON... CONDITIONS APPEAR SOMEWHAT FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT
AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM IN THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT
DAY OR TWO. A NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS SCHEDULED TO
INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM TOMORROW... IF NECESSARY. INTERESTS IN THE
BAHAMAS AND FLORIDA SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.

We will watch with for sure. Keep it away from the W GOM but would gladly take anything tropical that would just add more misery to LA and our friends eastward.

I know that 94L is supposed to be stationary but looking at the radar, the convection seems to have shifted quite a bit north and our weather here has imprved greatly.

Looking a lot more organized. Actually ,it looks serious now. I tend to agree with overall N motion, whether it was a re-formation or otherwise. I don't see that the ridging will enough to take it across FL.
