In the discussion you will find out why they increased the winds.


I just read it - the same explanation that Floydbuster gave. :)

"FROM 700 MB DUE TO AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS.."

Here we are paying for these flights for a system that most likely will have absolutely no effects on the CONUS, and the Mexican government is going to limit the airspace we can fly in?

Maybe there is other reasoning?

By the way, right now Stan "stands" alone as the only existing tropical cyclone in the planet Earth.

they key wll be how far the westerly shear axis to the north drops down.

could go anywhere from a cat 3 at landfall, to a dissipating system, the shear axis will make that much of a difference

RD34NE = 75NM RD34SE = 45NM RD34SW = 0NM RD34NW = 75NM

They have two 00Z runs posted, this one (#2) initialized .1 more W than the first one was, and DSHP has a drastic 48hrs change (100kts down to 85kts).

This is the set to use, I guess.

Models shifting slowly northeastward... The latest model runs are slowing Stan (with the exception of the BAMS/M/D and LBAR) and more and more of them are either going into Mexico and then returning, or making a loop in the BC and heading north, east, or northeast. See for yourself. These adjustments are concerning for the Gulf Coast to say the least...

This sucks. If this thing hits that area as a Cat. 2 or higher, it will be a MESS. Possibly worse than Hurricane Diana. :(

this likely will be worse than Diana, unless the sheared tropical storm scenario plays out

this will be coming in south of Diana, and could impact the city of Veracruz itself, or maybe the capital of Veracruz state, Xalapa

Unfortunately. They deserve a break just as much as the Gulf Coast and Florida do.

If 100 mph is conservative...I'd hate to see what Stan could be

THE
OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST FOR THIS ADVISORY IS SIMILAR TO THE
PREVIOUS ONE...BUT THE UNCERTAINTY IN THIS FORECAST IS INCREASING

Interesting quote from the Discussion that Richard Pasch wrote.

snippet from NHC 11:00pm EST advisory:

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
THAT STAN COULD BECOME VERTICALLY DECOUPLED WHEN IT REACHES THE
COAST...AND THE MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL PART OF THE CIRCULATION DRAGGED
EASTWARD INTO THE ABOVEMENTIONED CYCLONIC CIRCULATION...WHILE THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER MOVES INLAND AND DISSIPATES. THE TRACK MODELS
HAVE BECOME DIVERGENT AND SOME...E.G. THE GFS...GFS ENSEMBLE
MEAN...AND NOGAPS...DO NOT A LANDFALL WITHIN THE NEXT 4 DAYS.

Looks as though some models want to pull it NE eventually :eek:
