Unless there is a dramatic change in the forecast synoptic environment, there is not going to be much room for any further eastward adjustments. In fact, I would not be at all surprised to see a trend back to the west at some point.

IMO, very odd track to go from 25N almost due N to SC w/o the traditional curve back towards the NE as the system approaches the Carolinas? Just not buying this track, most of those models show the NE movement near the Carolinas, but not the NHC track? Likely will trend farther E with time, odd to me.


Isabel didn't curve back at all, so it has past precedence.


Maybe they are not too confident that the trough will be strong enough to lift it and then head NE.

My concern that Irene would not pass over Hispaniola and eventually become a major hurricane appears likely as I posted last night. Looks like the NHC agrees and has Irene making landfall as a major in SC. I hope they are wrong.....MGC

Winds under 100mph knocked out power in Palm Beach for up to 2 weeks in some places when I lived there. Went through it 3 times.

And remember the margin of error is only the 67% percentile error. That means 1/3rd of the forecasts end up OUTSIDE of the cone, like yesterday morning's 24 hr forecast point for today.

There seems to be a new blowup of storms near the coast of the DR. Could that be the center?

Are you a fan of using the NAM for synoptics?

The past two runs of the NAM close the weakness completely...no place to escape.

With that trough coming in quick and stalling by the ridge, wouldn't steering currents break down just off the Southeast coast?

Agreed, I'm afraid too many people in Florida think we are out of the woods now.

Watch the models all shift back some west today. :eek:

We are in the cone by a longshot, all of Florida.

TheBurn,

Yes, good photo of our friend the trough - they are good for horses and people (lol)...

And it really is a fairly sharp trough, considering we are still in August...

That picture really is worth a thousands words - or a dozen models and explains Irene shift northward, since the trough really is creating a signficiant weakness...

Thanks, that explains no NE movement at the end of the NHC track, ridge block! Just an odd looking track.

If you're going to make a forecast or make "matter of fact" type statements, you need to use the disclaimer that is posted below the map on this page. There are a lot of new people reading the forum and some people are finding Storm2k to get information because they don't know of official sources.

For those who are minimizing the threat to Florida... Florida is still in the cone!

Reading up on wiki, and taking a look on the road map. If N.Charleston gets hit it would be a substantial loss for the state. Pop 97,471 and at a height of just 6m asl the city sits right on the seafront of the Atlantic.

Of course there's still a lot of open water and some 3 or 4 days before the city starts feeling the effects of the Hurricane but right from Savannah up to Myrtle Beach is the place to get packing (or going 8-) )

Lol for real. Yesterday morning the position where it is at wasnt even in the cone... Also, everyone thought this would be a EGOM/Florida 3 days ago, and now look what we have here...

At that point though, there is a 250 mile margin of error (at 67% accuracy), so it could go all the way to Cape Hatteras or to the Florida west coast.
