its pretty clear whats happening... this continued more westerly motion is causing emily to pass forecast points which this turn more NW later and later. Its going to miss this next forecast point again. models will be shifting west if this keeps happening,.

Hopefully they get a good center fix. Going to be interesting if Emily is still holding her West heading . . .

Re: ATL: EMILY - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I'll tell you something right now...Emily is one fickle and tricky lady. I have much respect for the forecasters at the NHC for having to deal with this. While we sit here and make predictions and analysis they are having to do the same thing...but there forecasts and decisions have major impacts on lives and economic and political impacts. I feel for our friends at the NHC this morning. Good luck to them all.

She will have to start on a 320 deg heading like right now to get back on the forecasted track that she was on before I went to bed last night. 300-310 deg heading to get back on the latest forecasted track, lol.

Re: ATL: EMILY - Tropical Storm - Discussion
It's almost as if Emily is doing her best to avoid Hispaniola. If I recall, I think it was Charley (or maybe Ivan) that approached Jamaica and literally jumped around it with a jog to the South without making landfall.

290 degrees needed from the last forecasted point to brush the southern tip of Hispaniola, might well miss to the south if this motion carries on.

Here are the early 06z cycle models, all expecting Emily to move WNW or NW. Recon tells a different tale:

If watches go up for 48 hours out, when should South Florida go into Watch mode? -pretty soon I would suspect. Especially if this were to go over lowland Hispanola, and not weaken significantly, it could rapidly get its act together and end up on the doorstep quickly as a not so weak storm (or low CAT1...if not CAT2 if RI occurs.

there will be effects thats for sure if that's close...effects could be a nice sunny day(subsidence) with a fresh northerly wind or there could be lashing rains being driven in from the Atlantic..way to early to determine that, lets get the turn made first before trying to figure that out, the turn is the key factor right now then intensity after any land interation, i say any because it could shoot the passage and never touch land which is unlikely

She's already past the Antillies...she's just southeast of Hispaniola. And just as I suspected, they never shifted the track.

Also, I pointed out the 70 degree longitude point earlier as significant because if Emily reaches or goes beyond that point before making the NW turn, it will have an increased chance of getting by Hispaniola without as much interaction with that island. She would have a good chance of moving through the Windward Passage at that point and staying at least a minimum TS during that time.
That is something else to think about because the upper level envionment is supposed to get more conducive for Emily to organize and strengthen once she heads for the Bahamas.

Yep, certainly not heading 285 at then moment...
Looks to me like motion has been about 275-280 between the last two fixes...still quite westerly though.
