Track shift north?

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:37 pm

No.. I'm not saying it's gonna do that :lol:

I'm just asking, what do you think the odds are of the track shifting north? Or will it stay right where it is..?

I think it may jump around a couple more times..

It's four days away, of course it's going to jump around a bit, but it won't go too far north, such as Orlando, but maybe towards the Jupiter, West Palm area down south to the Miami area. Though, I'd wish it'd just go to the panhandle or out to sea..anywhere away from me.

....ditto....i am hoping for a very hard right turn, ala michelle. unfortunately, i don't think the track will really settle down to a well defined focus, like MW, until perhaps 48 hours before landfall. even more unfortunately, monroe cty emerg management will have to make a call on this storm late wed nite/very early thurs morning in order to allow for the expected evac call. thank god, billy wagner always errors on the side of caution.......rich

As us Floridians remember that last year hurricane Charley was supposed to hit Tampa Bay but veered off in only 3 hours time. Its like trying to predict where a little stick will go in a stream of water.

The atmosphere is somewhat like a river of air. Just a little ripple in the air can cause systems to turn one way or the other.

Is this an opinion or fact? Charley immediately comes to mind.

Wilma is intensifying more than predicted, it will be interesting to see what the models do initialized with a cat 4 or 5 storm instead of a cat 3.

Larger storms create their own environment and build high pressure domes that can be resistant to troughs.

By morning the model runs may start to look a little different.

You're NERVOUS that you might be wrong and the storm might not be headed right for you? You mean you actually WANT this thing to hit you?

Unfortunately many of his comments have made me think that. I'm not sure of course.
