Those are the 06z models.
the time stamp on the GFDL is simply when it is cranked out, but it is the 06z run.

It is the MOST RECENT RUN which was at 06z

The time stamp on the GFDL says 11 something but the model is from 06z and the bams models all still say 06z

The 12z models will be cranked out at 12z which is precisely 8 am edt
and the output on that site will come in about 20 past 8

Well, just the NHC models (which really aren't that important).

The 12Z GFDL will come out at about 1:30PM eastern, of course.

Those are also the 06z models.

Go to this site around 2 hours past run time for all the models. (early cycle)

and about 8 hours past run time for lte cycle (GFDL etc)

Other models, have shifted south and west as well. It appears that NHC track is the outlier to the east. Expect adjustment to west at 10PM

Well you know, it's getting to be in that three-day window of potential landfall. And it's not like this forecast is hard. There's a huge dome of high pressure sitting on top of it, even stronger than the one Katrina had.
The forecast models and the NHC have been very good in this time frame. Three days before Katrina hit, the forecast became crystallized -- a landfall in southern Plaquemines parish in SE LA, and a pass between NOLA and Biloxi. Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

A couple went north? :roll:

The NHC and most of the reliable models have not budged... I think it's pretty obvious it's going to Texas...

Wasn't it more like 2.5 days out that the NHC line basically nailed it?

It appears to me that the models have straightend out and making it more of a SE landfall rather than a SSE. Initial heading is going to be crucial, it appear that a hard curve is not forecast.

Lets hope the Xtrap model pans out :wink:

So, is there a consensus that Rita will make landfall in Matagorda or points Southward?
