I haven't noticed this prediction from our board mets, but haven't had time to read all the changing scenarios since the issuance of a hurricane warning. . . but while we are on the subject of the above graphic - here is a narrative quoted:
"Alberto may be a storm that cannot make up its mind as to where it wants to pay a visit. Although the bulk of the rain and thunderstorms will continue to affect Florida, it is possible that the actual low-level center of circulation may not. If the amount of strong southwest shear in the upper levels of the atmosphere increases and becomes great enough, it will completely detach all of the rain and thunderstorms from the center of circulation and shunt it northeastward across Florida where it will get picked up by an approaching dip in the jet stream, or tough, digging south across the Tennessee Valley. Meanwhile, the low-level center of circulation or west across the Gulf of Mexico, perhaps coming ashore well to the west of where most of the rain does get stuck under an area of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere across Texas. If the latter scenario occurs, the actual center of Alberto would never come ashore in Florida, but rather drift back west across the Gulf of Mexico where it could either weaken altogether or move toward Mexico. Story by AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Chris Stachelski. "
Is there an opinion about this "story" posted somewhere?
