He anticipates the low being due south of NOLA by sometime Friday. Still won't project a specific landfall yet but has increased the local precip chances for Sun and Mon to 60%. BTW, he tends to be the more conservative met in our area.
Is he the KFDM Pro-Met that posts here?

I think the mets are right about this being more of a broad low with the likely center being just off the SW coast of FL (based on buoy data).
Not just the Mets

I'm not sold on either center. The one to north looks broad and the one to south still
looks more like its in the upper levels. IMO

It might be or it could be Kerry Cooper. He's pretty active on several boards.

Ed - Greg is a met at KFDM but he is Greg KFDM. KFDM Met is another meteorologist there. Greg is solid and not one to make wild predictions. Maybe Greg will post his thoughts here tonight. Greg, how about it?

Two low pressure centers are fighting to become the dominant one.

Any hints on who gave the above forecast? I try to see all of them when bad weather is pending but I missed the others tonight. It is amazing how different the 3 stations' forecasts can be. Humberto was a good example.

Re: INVEST 93L: Florida: Discussions & Images
FWIW: The 00Z GFS is rolling in and the upper level pattern thru 60 hours really looks like the EURO at 12Z's run. Almost identical. The GFS 00Z run is not keeping track of the sfc feature well though. The 850 center is over SELA while the 500 mb center is over the GOM at about 26/92. So...it isn't handling the track well at all on this run, but the pattern at 500 looks a lot like the EURO.
Check that - Thru 78 hrs...the pattern still fits the 12Z EURO and the sfc/850 features are a mess. The 500 feature is weak but off the TX coast.

yeah, but AFM, look at the surface. lets just say the upper air fits the EURO, but the sfc follows serious NAM tonight.

Re: INVEST 93L: Florida: Discussions & Images
Surface shows it hitting south Louisiana..very similar to the 18z run (and further west than the NAM). The upper air is what counts though. With a strong ridge in place, there is no way for this storm to turn NW or N. Therefore, a hit to New Orleans eastward would be unlikely. An upper pattern similar to the EURO has Texas or SW Louisiana written all over it.jhamps10 wrote:Air Force Met wrote:FWIW: The 00Z GFS is rolling in and the upper level pattern thru 60 hours really looks like the EURO at 12Z's run.

Given the two choices in tropical steering...I will ignore the NAM completely and go with the EURO every time. The NAM is pretty much useless in tropical steering...which means that what it is seeing may never be tropical or it is getting it all wrong.

BUT the NAM's bread an butter is cold core...so I would think it might do ok with a sts or transitioning system

And looking at the NAM...it's not showing a tropical system. The low its tracking through 36 hours is vertically stacked from the sfc to 200 mb. That's not tropical. So...if it verifies...we will not have a tropical system at all.

I think Florida needs another 88D near Naples, and while they are at it, an 88D near PBI wouldn't be bad, at the very least as backup for TBW and AMX and MLB.
Because what I'm trying to see is out of the short range view of both TBW and BYX

wind has picked up rather briskly in parkland/ boca tonite.
maybe from the low over SW florida. i remember watching tropical update on TWC around noon and mike bettis (sp?) was saying he would bet the dominant feature to watch was the ull working it's way to the surface, and i believe that is what is occuring.

Well, if your fellow Pro Met Derek Ortt and many of the models are correct, this is inland Saturday and most of your weekend is saved, right?
