my local met here also said that this very well could be an east coast threat and to be prepared....He also mentioned the building of the high to keep in from turning out to sea..Of course this is only one local MET's opinion is all.......

I'm thinking it's going somewhere between Florida and the Carolinas.

That's what I'm worried about. Luckily, a more Floyd like situation looks likely.

Im worried that if this trof keeps moving, and it doesnt pick up Florence and that ridge build in, it will saty west, and hit the east coast...thouhg its not looking likely, i say a floyd is somewhat liekly..

CapeVerdeWave, I also feel the trough is going to pull out or back west and the ridge will back in from the east. It's a week away and a lot of changes are on the plate, for our thinking as well as the models.

The one good thing is that if this does affect the U.S.E.C indications are that it will be badly sheared by the time it makes landfall (especially if it makes landfall further north. Look at Isabel/Floyd/Fran. All were sheared before landfall)

Read that in a post way earlier in the day.

You cannot assume this far out. Even so, they were very destructive storms.

Yep, the wv loop indicates the upper low cutting off west of Florence is now acting to ventilate the storm. That should aid intensification now that the center is consolidating.

Now for some more climo from the Coastal Services Center web page. Here's a plot of all Aug/Sep storms that came within 65 miles of 17.5N/49W since 1851. Note the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 is in ther, along with Gloria of 1985. That powerful Galveston 1915 hurricane is still there, too. Must have been a strong high that built to its north in 1915:

What am I missing here? 17N 47W is not right is it? If it is, has the center has relocated to the east? HELP!


Can anyone make sense of this?

Hugo was not sheared, also Charley had a trough/weakness pull it. Which strengthen it. About the same quad of the trough will be lifting this. The thing is it has to do it right or it will be sheared.

Been gone all day and now playing catch up ball. Is Florence that small area to the SW of the blow up convection at 50W and 17.5N or is Florence under that blow up?

Going to say this again and maybe a Pro Met can back me up this time..... :lol:

On the vis loop you can see a LLC moved up under the convection to the NE and (boom goes the dynamite) the convection explodes. You can also see what to me is a second weaker center spin off to the SW and fading. I say fading but it is trying fire some convection but probably won't last as a center looks to be more established to the NE.....

Speaking of troughs and the synoptic set-up, etc., does this set-up look at like like the set-up for the Long Island express?

A trough helped Wilma get back to cat 3 before Florida as well.

I'm guessing the poster is looking at all the convection on the radar without realizing that the actual center of the storm is just SW of all that activity.
