GFDL was the first one to show td17 N now all are showing N. GFDL was the best one with Katrina. This season GFDL is the MVP


GFDL also showed Ophelia crossing FL for many days...then shifted to GA/SC
...which wasn't right either.

It is generally a very good model...but it is not always right.

the model couldnt finish as we were focused on 17 for possible flights

however, it did form it very quickly and have it moving generally to the west

Good Lord, I just hope N.O. doesn't get any more hurricanes OR rain or winds for a while.

Still cleaning up here, still trying to get SOME sense of normalcy.

Just a few days before Katrina hit us, it was supposed to hit the panhandle of florida and I asked a storm guy, "you don't think this thing is going to effect us do you?"

Horrific irony.

Oh looky, it's raining right now :(

Hopefully, it will be a short lived shower.

96L BIG THREAT TO SOUTH FLORIDA

#193 Postby CHRISTY » Sat Sep 17, 2005 1:14 pm

i think 96L has south florida written all over it! my god can the gfdl be right? iam guessing once 96L becomes a td soon after florida will have to go under some kind of watch because most of the models show this becoming a hurricane heading in our general direction! opinions????

It *could* be a FL threat, there is no doubting that given the models. They look very Katrina-esque at that stage. But it could also fish out or it could run straight into Cuba. Again, I'd rather see the system get classified first and then have the models run so it has a better handle.

The GFDL could always be right, but keep in mind it predicted Katrina to be a cat 3/4 for the Keys. It is very bullish with intensity. I ALWAYS take the GFDL with a grain of salt.

The GFDL is generally useless for INVESTs and TDs, and weak TSes to some degree.

Basically all the INVEST and TD runs of the GFDL for Ophelia had it hitting New Orleans, and we of course know that didn't happen.
