ATLANTIC
- For the Isaac wannabe currently in the eastern Atlantic, various runs of various forecast models have shown in the long range everything from a hurricane raking the entire coast from Florida to New England, to a storm moving harmlessly out to sea in the Atlantic, to barely more than a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico. One must be careful to not overreact to each run of every model. Let's see what the trends are like over the next day or two -- plenty of time yet to prepare if it ends up being a significant threat to the Caribbean or other land areas downstream from there.
In the meantime, the system continues moving very quickly toward the west, and although it's spinning on satellite loops, there has not yet been a lot of persistent deep convection (thunderstorms); analyses show the atmosphere over the tropical Atlantic is more stable than average for this time of year. Thus in addition to the track questions, there is also intensity uncertainty.
Stay tuned ...
