Given the forecast changes we have seen with ike in the last few days....take heart that the next model run will probably be right or left. And then left or right. Repeated a couple of times.

For sure. What a horrible thought. It would be quite amazing if it actually reached all the way here in the middle of September, but the models are certainly trending here, that's for sure. I think by the 0Z runs on Tuesday morning (from 12 am to 2 am)--in 54 hours from now, the models will converge, and we will have a pretty good idea whether the storm will hit SE LA, C LA, SW LA, SE TX, C TX or S TX. At least that's when I will feel like I know.

That justifies landfall starting from SW LA to the Panhandle...a massive cone of error.
How did you come up with SW LA to the Panhandle. If you plot those coordinates you can easily see that the GFDL has Ike moving WNW almost due west at the end. I can easily make a case further west than Louisiana.

Re: ATL IKE: Models Discussion
I think the thing to remember is that neither of these models show a landfall...they show a stall. I still think if this stalls south of LA, there no way it goes to texas. GFS showed as much with a 2 day meander then landfall in Vermillion. Stall will basically lead it to wait for a weakness = landfall vermillion bay eastward. Where it stops I think is about as far west as this will get before a turn due north or NNE.

Re: ATL IKE: Models Discussion
Is it me or does it seem like every night the Ike models shift west, then in the morning they shift back to the east, then the cycle repeats again...

Beyond 126 hours wouldn't it shirt North towards the middle-upper Texas Gulf coast?
After tracking these things for soo long, I just can't see it going to Brownsville or Corpus. Maybe all the people praying in LA are effecting the track.

You are correct. I'm sticking with a landfall east of 88.

I told my wife I'd take a break from hurricane watching until this became more of a threat to the GOM or our area, but a bet with Shiner involved is too hard to turn down. I'm putting up my 10+ days map right here and now and willing to take anyone in the Galleria area of Houston (I know you are Ed) out for a few beers after the storm or even better I'll happily go let you buy me a few... So here's my forecast track 10+ days out and I'm going to stick to it no matter how painful it may get 5 or 6 days from now
So here it is, anything in the extremely small cone (at us landfall) gets me many beers and even more headaches in other ways (I really don't want to see this and I realize it's just a strange form of -removed-).
