I'm wondering why the models haven't shifted yet.. But more importantly.. This thing does appear to still be moving more west than north..

Of course.. I could be wrong.

...and they're still almost all incorrect. They all show more of a northwest current motion when we all know that's not currently taking place.

They probably think the same as Wxman57, in that there coulfd be several vorticies in the large circulation and that the overall broad circulation is moving WNW while the seperate features are travelling in slightly different directions.

some of the models still show a high building off the NE coast but all vary on size and strength of that high and i think thats going to be a big player in whether a full recurve occurs a stall out inbetween Bermuda and the US.Right now i am feeling slightly more at ease but i suspect that there will be some variations in the models the next few days!

Of one other note i saw that the 11pm postion last night was 17.7N and at 5am it was 18.4N but the cloud swirl that APPEARS to be the center is nowhere near that position but seems to be almost WSW Along with the overlay of the tropical storm position the center is going to miss the 12 hour forecast plot to the south by a decent amount.You'll have to excuse me if this is a wrong read on my part i am just getting off the graveyard shift!

They're correct. Look at the time stamps...all 06z and 00z models. The 12z should be out any minute.

Don't have the 12Z models in yet, but the 6Z models are in strong agreement on recurvature and a track just west of Bermuda. ECMWF is in agreement, too:

Glad you posted that map 57. Not sure where everyone was getting these model movements to the west...

It's the 06z tropical models that moved west. Plus, all those models in the map are already incorrect since they're all showing a more current northwest motion which everyone knows is not happening right now.

You can't use the BAM models on a system moving out of the deep tropics. They are generally pretty bad for a situation like this.

Yes but what about the fact that those models have the storm moving more to the nw and in fact the storm is still moving more to the w does that not make them invalid.

It doesn't ake the models invalid, simply that the curver may occur a couple of degrees further west then they expect, still the same general idea but prehaps just slightly too far east.
