Clearly the NHC isn't factoring those models in their forecast, particularly beyond 36 hours...Hurricanewatcher2007 wrote:jinftl wrote:Just so no one gets confused by the discussion here....the discussion is a general one....there is no forecast that is calling for Ida to have 115 mph winds...either as a hurricane or extratropical system...as she approaches the Gulf Coast and Florida. The current forecast calls for a 50 mph tropical storm transitioning into an equally squally extratropical low pressure late Tuesday. The biggest threats could be from coastal flooding and beach erosion in susceptible areas like the Florida Big Bend.
Its not a general discussion. Yes the official forecast doesn't have Ida getting to cat 3 but this isn't the thread for official forecasts. This is the model discussion which some of the models do show Ida getting to be a cat 3.
