Re: ATL: CHANTAL - Models
Considering the track error at 5 days is something like 200 miles I wouldn't put much faith in the storm being 75 miles offshore... could be right over WPB or several hundred miles offshore.[/quote]
Perhaps the met. said that if it follows the current projected track, it will miss WPB by 75 miles to the east. I can't envision any local TV met. making that call with any certainty at this point when the storm hasn't passed the Lesser Antilles.[/quote]
Unfortunately some of the mets have been known to do such a thing. I think some tv mets truly don't understand the cone, just as many others don't. Sad, really.[/quote]
What if they understood the Models instead?

If anyone has good news - like not much rain with this TS - I will happily share the bottle.

Re: ATL: CHANTAL - Models
Five days out is pretty far. Anything can happen BUT that general consensus amongst the different models sure suggests that Chantal will be somewhere near the East coast of Florida then.

My posts should NEVER, EVER, EVER be construed as an official forecast as I know virtually nada respecting the finer points of meteorology. Consequently, my posts are obviously NOT endorsed by any professional institution or the good folks at storm2k.org. For official information please refer to the weather gurus at the NHC and NWS.
Re: ATL: CHANTAL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I was surprised to see a pressure typical of a depression.

They may have missed the lowest pressure. And most important, background pressures are higher than normal there right now - in meteorology, it's all relative.

(Well, Einstein would tell us it's all relative everywhere, all the time, lol.)

LOL, I know... These exact situations is part of my love of the tropics... I like statistics and odds are always very low for a north Florida/Ga landfall from the east, so something has to give... The hard right after Hispaniola and hard left into Florida is hard to buy... NHC has to make a call soon with a turn towards Florida... NHC loves the TVCN and the track is usually close no matter where it goes...

The calm before the storm, my friend. Hold on to your shorts. Should be pretty stormy but hopefully no damage. Keep us informed if you can but just stay safe above all.

worst case scenario in my eyes would be the center passing in that gap between DR and PR.. and making its wnw journey after that and then west. There would be limited land interaction..

then again, it is moving so fast that it wouldn't surprise me one bit is any mountainous areas it crosses doesn't effect it fast enough to deteriorate it much since it will be back in the water again in the blink of a eye.
