Clipper isn't really a model. It's a climatological average track thrown in for balance.

Now look at how fast the GFS pushes IKE across the Gulf. Anyone think Ike will landfall at 96 hours?
I think it is plausible, if the synoptics play out as envisioned by the GFS. With the first trough only partially weakening the ridge as Ike gets well into the Gulf, there will be plenty of westward push left to sent it quickly into the coast.

It's kind of par for the course with the guy. He's overly exuberant sometimes. During the Winter, he'll actually show the infamous NTX blizzards produced by the 15 day GFS. The senior met needs to reel him in sometimes.
Anyway, enough off-topic.

Yes, and as a reference. I like seeing it on model plots, because it's what we engineers like to call a "sanity check". It basically says, "Of all the storms that have ever made it to this spot, here is where they have tended to go." If your track varies from the Clipper, you had better have a good explanation why...

More NW..I'll take a guess and say Freeport on this run.
EDIT: OOpps...Looks like Ridge is in full effect still.

Re: ATL IKE: Models Discussion
I am guessing this means we should expect a shift in the GFDL and HWRF to the north?
