ATL: IKE Discussion

[haml8]

No major hurricane has hit HOU area since Dr. Frank arrived, and although retired, KHOU-TV11 calls him back into the studio for tropical events, like Hurricane Dolly and T.S. Edouard, so his force field still protects us.

Long Live the The Houston Hurricane Shield!! Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray. Hopefully I will see him on the 6:00 News tonight

I'm seeinf WNW in the last frames.... could be a wobble but it should have been WNW last night.

[dixiebreeze]

I'm going for a really BIG GUESS and say Mobile or Pensacola.

Dr. Neil Frank is my hero.

I'm still seeing around 275, I think the reason it looks like its wobbling to the WNW is the northern quadrant is wrapping round the center again, if you focus on the eye feature here you can see still near west:

Give it time to load up everything though!

Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet or not but TX is currently in their H-120 mode for emergency response.

Nice to see that even the emergency response coordinators have a sense of humor (that's what gets us through the tough times...) Notice all the mentions of StrIKE in the document

I remember him, he was great.

Do y'all still have that nutbag Marvin Zindler?

[funster]

Impressive looking. Someone please shove Ike back on land before he cranks up to a Cat 4 again.

His aerodynamic haircut must have something to do with it

I dare say he may be popping back for hurricane Ike given the current model agreement on either a close shave or hit on Texas.

Can we stop the non Ike chatter please.

[quote="Sabanic"][quote="inda_iwall"]I think the further south, the longer it takes until landfall which will only make it landfall further east, and the short time over cuba makes it stronger and heads more poleward, I believe landfall in SE LA, and into MS, AL is no longer out of possibility, especially if it slows more and spends more time down south and allows the high to weaken and/or move off. What so people tink of this possibility. This is just my own non-met thought process. [b]Although from the stale hot air we have in place here in NGC, that high does not seem to be weakening.[/b][/quote]

It is not weakening, and is not forecast to begin weakening until Wednesday. That's when we are supposed to get the return of Showers & Thunderstorms. All the things you mention though do make sense. My point is that if you look at the NHC's forecast track 24 hours ago, Ike is not following it. That's 24 hours. What a difference 96 - 144 could make.[/quote]


Our local Met here in PC mentioned last night that it was not out of the realm of possibility that Ike would go a bit farther south and west than forecasted by the NHC...by mid week the High is supposed to become suppressed and it may cause Ike to slow down considerably in the Gulf...if he is still in the Gulf on Friday or Saturday then the next trough sweeping down from the NW would be strong enough to shunt Ike NEwd towards Miss ro Alabama this weekend...

I'm not in any way stating that this is what I think will happen...merely throwing out what one of our local mets offered up last night as a possible scenario...

now THAT we can say with 100% accuracy! no disclaimer here.

[KWT]

I think we do have something of a battle on right now between the inner core and the outer eyewall, butr the outer eyewall can't complete it seems because there is land which allowing the inner eyewall to hold.

Still holding due west!
