too bad three of them that Derek considers basically worthless...would be nice if GFDL is coming in line with the others though (at least for our US members)

Re: Hurricane DEAN: Global Models=18z GFDL Near Galveston
Yep that could have been the end of the rightward trend, but will wait to see what happens with the 00z models. Starting to look better for Louisiana.

Re: Hurricane DEAN: Global Models=18z GFDL Near Galveston
May be, but the GFDL has been shifting back and forth between Galveston and Louisiana for 4-5 runs now (first trending left and then right and now left again). That is a pretty consistant trend, IMO. We will now have to wait and see what the 0z shows. If it is similar, then we may have to really consider the GFDL as a possibility and be on guard.HouTXmetro wrote:Even though it's near Galveston the rightward trend is over. Maybe the next few runs it will go even further South.

Re: HR Dean: For any Island in the Carib that could be affected
In Old San Juan on the ocean side it has been getting increasingly blustery and gusty. Those clouds are really moving fast from the east.

Not at all.
The image has refreshed since I posted it and now is pretty ragged. Might be the start of an ERC. I would not know, honestly.
No...it looks just as good as before..just instead of the eye being totally clear, theres a slight layer of clouds at the bottom of it...itll probably go back to clear all the way to the surface again at the next...this happens with developing eyes. I wouldnt expect an ERC for at least another day, since the eye it has still doesnt seem to be fully emptied out yet. The convection only reveals part of the eye, explaining its ever-changing shape with each frame, as opposed to very circular.

Perhaps the models are picking up on the decrease in Dean's forward speed? Maybe Dean will miss the ULL's allowing the high to build in before the ULL's could drag it more northerly, leaving Dean with only a route to Mexico? The last few advisories have shown a gradual diminishment in Deans forward momentum.

Here is a larger model map showing more of the 12z and 18z runs:

Currently the CLP5 (climatology model), AEMN (GFS ensemble consensus), GFDL, LGEM, HWRF and CMC all look pretty bad for the U.S.
BTW: LOL - check out that comical southern GFS model. It is by far the biggest outlier.

Puerto Rico radar is picking up the eye quite well now.

Bet Puerto Ricans are breathing a sigh of relief, thats not a pretty picture to their south!
