Tropical Storm Fay Model Runs

Re: ATL: Invest 92L Model Runs
18Z tropicals shift on off to the west. More clustering now for the GOM. Not sure the turn in the E GOM will in fact happen. Still may move across DR or just south...which may inhibit development...ie more west...west...west...west the models will trend. Once it gets its act together and where then a poleward bend may begin as long as SW ATL ridging does not build in too strong...if not off to the W or WNW.

Does 92L have a better shot at Texas or Florida with all these west shifts?

The EURO portends well for drought stricken areas of SC, NC and GA if it were to verify.

Remember yesterday at this time most were fairly right of the East Coast of Florida!
models have been "trending" west for 3 days now Gator. We are looking for the trend to stop or reverse. Don't get stuck on the one model run this morning that showed your area.

Re:
Sound advice. With this wave being just that, a wave, and no closed low level circulation, the models will flip flop. Let's see what happens when and if this thing develops. I say "if" because there are a lot of mountains in Hispanola and Cuba. And it looks like the models are taking this wave straight through a lot of them.

All true Extreme but that is because they had it developing sooner, the longer it takes the further west the turn..just a wait and see

Gator, it is not just the model runs but the fact that 92L is not skirting to the north of the islands with a closed LLC, it would take as the models also showed a very deep system come eastern Cuba for the it to turn into the weakness provided by the trough.

I approve this message. I think as so many have already said, it's best just to watch this for now...IMO no definitive forecasts can be made at this point. There are some fantastic, Pro Mets on here and I will always defer to them, this is what they do for a living...I personally hope this thing dies a slow death in the DR or Haiti and causes no death or destruction...at any rate, I think everyone from the Carolinas to the west coast of FL should just continue to monitor 92L

Needless to say we/I don't need this thing here in the Panhandle as we are still trying to recover from Ivan and Dennis. I'm hoping this thing gets shredded over the DR and never gets its act together over the central Carib. near Jamaica as the models seem to be indicating, but I am getting a bad feeling about this one with the synoptics coming together, the untapped waters of the Eastern GOM and a ridge nosing in over peninsula Florida next week. It don't look good at this point for the home team.

Re: ATL: Invest 92L Model Runs
I still think you all are missing the point. The models aren't really trending they are just moving the turn based upon where the storm becomes a storm. Hell if this thing never develops it will probably end up in northern Mexico.
How accurate are models when they are run on open waves?
