The models are initialized to far north. I think the center is showing up on visible at 7.6N.

That's because it's a brand spankin' new SkeetobiteWeather map! SST data is current as of 10/05/2005 @ 5pm EST. Enjoy.

all I have to say is

Perhaps in this active season the Caribbean Islands will NOT escape.

I sure hope we don't have any more! Emily hit Grenada as a Cat 1 and tore off all the blue tarps and damaged many repairs in process from Ivan. Good friend of mine who's family in St. Catherine's parish, Grendada lost all but the outside walls of their home in Ivan. Dennis formed just on the other side, after dropping plenty of rain on those still without roofs. St. Martin had 2 fatalities from flooding in what later became Katrina (was it that storm? someone please confirm this)

There's a real difference here vs the mainland. In Grenada, lumber is still trickling in, more than a year after Ivan, and many still await other materials to do repairs. I remember one distraught pet owner here, 6 months after Luis/Marilyn, lamenting the long wait for the island to stock dogfood. Things one takes for granted in the US suddenly become luxury items or non-existant after moving to "paradise".

For 3 months I've been trying to buy the 1.2ml 33-gallon trash bags (vs the leaf and garden bags which tear if you look at the sideways) - they just ran out one day and haven't ever gotten any more, and that's with no storms at all. In fact, for about 3 weeks in August, there were NO large trash bags of any kind, anywhere in the BVI. For those who may wonder, these are used to bag up things which can't afford to get wet when the storms brings the rain blowing inside the house. One can't blame the store's buyers. Regularly, many things they order simply aren't on the ship when it arrives - again and again! Large US companies set up distribution centers for the Caribbean, mostly in Puerto Rico, and then proceed to send them only overstock items or whatever they can't sell in the mainland! We are the old inventory dumping ground for the United States.

edit: whoops, didn't mean to get "political" (actually a sociology lesson on differences in hurricane recovery here in the islands vs mainland)

Yes we caught you red fish handed no give up the Emporer's jewel's so we can go home.

I knew the models would start to agree that it would turn more west. Of course that might change in the next run but, for now I am right. haha

I love these things, but once they get loaded and "shrink" I can't read them. And I really want to!! Clicking on that little icon over the pic opens a page with a 404error. So, the only way I can see them is to save them to my hard drive and look at them there. ugh!

It's so wonderful that S2K has implemented that suggested code, so the big wide graphics don't make us have to scroll back and forth to read text! What a great improvement, and my complements!! It would be nice though, if the coding genius who wrote it would put in a "expand" button in the little toolbar which comes up, to view the pic full size (which has already loaded, by the way, so it would have no delay) in secondary window.

Those models definitely have changed since yesterday. Now most show a west turn.Will this system get to the gulf by chance. (Probably way too early)

Yes bvigal.. I am working on fixing the code.. Hopefully I can get it done today.. Once it is fixed you will be able to click on the image and it will open full size.. Sorry for the troubles

[bvigal]

No problem, Chad! Like I said, my complements on the add. code that keeps all the paragraph formatting within page range - that is a HUGE improvement!! I didn't know you were customizing... good luck and hope it goes smoothly and quickly!

Anybody else notice some dry air wrapping into this from the east?
