Re: ATL IKE: Category 3 - Discussion
[quote="Sanibel"]Now NHC track is into Cutler Ridge or slightly south. Like I was worried about last night the trend is continuing south, or left. Not good for us on the west coast of Florida because this is a perfect Donna hook scenario that I thought I would never see in my lifetime. A Keys category 3 hooking up the west coast is now a more serious possibility if Ike doesn't jump into a weakness prior. GFDL continues to go south, going south of Cuba now. NHC must be taking it seriously as part of the track blend because they are going south with their track. If Ike does recurve this left trend could mean more of central or northern Florida stands a better chance of not being able to avoid being hit.
Ike is into its SW track now. All eyes are on how far SW it goes.[/quot
Sanibel - You WILL let your fellow SW Fl. neighbors know when you think it is time
for us to do something - right????? As of right now I am soooooo confused that it
is driving me crazy ------ thanks neighbor

Do NOT utilize this board for official information. Do NOT factor the posts into your decisions. Follow the advice of the NHC and official local sources. Take the extra precautions if they are deemed necessary by these authorities.

I think it is key not to look specifically at the "line".
Last night the "line" was to The Broward/PBC border and now this morning to Cutler Ridge.
The exact line is not important until we are a LOT closer to landfall.
3-5 days out the NHC will use and "average" of the models so the "cone" is the key.
Look at Derek's forecast graphics and NHC discussions that continually advise "not to look at the line".

Wait for a Hurricane Warning (24 hour notice) or at the very least a Hurricane Watch (36 hour notice).
Unless you enjoy putting up the shutters.
I know that I don't and will wait until told to.

I was not going to put the shutters up yet just simply buy the wood before the huge lines come this weekend.

CalmBeforeStorm, possibly but I suspect its just the ridge extends a little further east then the models expected, its hard to know with only a few hours of motion to watch, need to really see 6-12hrs of this sort of motion to see whether its a wobble SW because of the shear or actually a sharper SW motion then the NHC were expecting, it has big implications down the line for Cuba, Fflorida and the islands.

I'm starting to that Cuba may well take the main blow if Ike doesn't balance out to the west, we shall see but I suspect the NHC shifts south again, maybe quite a bit in the short term next advisory. Sadly the Turks and Caicos still looking at a powerful hurricane being in the region.

Not for this advisory at least..expect only a small shift SW because several models still aim at SE Florida and the UKM as shifted north:

UKMO can be discared as being too far north, it suggests due west when Ike is clearly streaming WSW.
It won't be a big shift but it will be shift, esp in the early parts given its already south of where it was meant to be at 18z by 12z and that WSW is still going.
South Florida clearly is still at big risk though don't get me wrong, just that the Cuba risk is increasing as well.

Re: ATL IKE: Category 3 - Discussion
Just a question from an unofficial weather lover....Ike seems to be moving sw from what i see..And pretty well sw..What are the chances that Ike goes over Haiti's a bit or eastern cuba and travels a bit south of cuba and kinda pulls a gustav,though maybe a more bit east of his path?? (Please no bashing allowed,just curious)!

I guess things ARE looking good for SE Florida now! This far out the NHC cone is bound to change...and now the GFDL is showing Ike going well south of even the Keys.
I say that Ike misses Florida peninsula altogether, shoots through Cuba and the Florida straits, and hits the panhandle or some other gulf state.
How many times have we all seen this happen? The Florida peninsula usually gets hit in October from Caribbean storms coming from the southwest. Just as usual, SE Florida is just getting another empty threat, gas prices will rise, a state of emergency will be declared, and after all is said and done Ike will have not killed ANYONE and will have made landfall somewhere else.
I've seen this pattern all too much and am not going to start getting frantic and excited about a S FL landfall
If Ike does make landfall, it will probably be a small storm and quite weak and sheared. Basically, something almost always screws up in terms of the prospects of an intense hurricane making landfall in South Florida from the east (yes there are exceptions like Andrew and 1926 hurricane, but those are FEW and FAR between). We might not see another of those scenarios for another 50 years.
