I blame Windows 10.

Oh and us night owls will be up around 0400 to see if there is indeed a shift in the projected path. Because it's what we do. 8-)

Its the old wobble "I'm changing course" trick that drives many people crazy, only to find two hours later that it was just a wobble...

Well I do hope so, this so called wobble is disconcerting for me.

yeah if its not broke don't fix it.

I know just about enough to sound like I know what I'm talking about sometimes. But for your safety please follow the nhc for truly professional forecasting. :D

Of course I am. The mood from the forum today makes it sound like this was forecasted to go to Texas. Besides a little timing error, the track has been nailed on. Intensity is probably gonna be about as good as it gets.


But if you've gone through the pages of posts today, you'd think that the NHC has had a catastrophic track and intensity error.


I'm of the thinking the track has been off, but the blame is squarely on bad model outputs that we've been dealing with the last two years. They almost seem to get worse every time they upgrade them. :roll:

Although there is no watch or warning, there is a large circulation and it is elongated, so there could be high winds in bands farther from the center. Regarding the VDM's being located eastward, it is something that happened. Those folks were making an observation and thinking that maybe they should be more prepared. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.


We have to remember Governor Scott released an executive order this morning regarding 42 counties identified in his State of Emergency declaration... Pinellas and Hillsborough should be on there. I also know the new EM director for Pasco and he is one of the best and would certainly assist neighboring counties any time.

With this said - I will stick to my assertion / prediction this storm will hit much further south - like Tampa or Sarasota directly. If I am wrong then I will happily admit it. All I ask is that those of us with such wild and speculative theories be given at least a little due process before passing judgement. Thanks


How about throwing in some compelling meteorological rationale to back up a suggestion that diverges wildly from the NHC? Those guys are very good at what they do. I have no issue with folks taking exception to the official forecast but if it's hundreds of miles different and has no other support the foundation needs to be built upon facts and logic that other really smart folks somehow failed to take into account. These assertions tend to be lacking such underpinnings.


How about the fact that the CoC appears to bet at 25N,87W right now? Seems very much further east than earlier. Seems to have changed course to due east.

This assertion taken from looking at this animated model:

I'm NO expert, so please,tell me where I'm wrong.

About the same since the last pass by the NOAA plane, reported by the AF recon.

Anyone in the path needs to be focusing on the impacts that are most threatening to them. In the Tampa area, it's going to be flooding. In the Big Bend area it will be flooding both from rain and surge. This storm has the first ever storm surge warning (prototype) in effect. That in itself is an astounding fact that is somewhat been underplayed.

I notice since earlier every pass has the stronger winds closer to the center as well--this is essentially just outside of it, so it's consolidated quite a bit today.

I'm gushing (pun intended) over the storm surge product. Just terrific.

Definately not wobbling that's a clear move east..not northeast. But east.

While it's impossible to say if this is just a wobble or something more, I would note that we've had other instances of systems interacting with troughs and getting shoved further east of north than expected. My personal experience would be with Hurricane Irene in 1999. She was supposed to move almost due north and up the west coast of Florida. But instead she kept tracking east of north (and the projected model paths), ultimately heading NNE and NE right over me in coastal Palm Beach County. We will see if Hermine has any similar tricks up her sleeve.

It jogged to the north based on the latest fix by the recon.

I don't post much in the tropics forum, but I actually think the NHC projected path has been pretty good to this point. Especially with this particular system.

Were you referring to the relocation of the possible center to the east or the track going to the east more?


He said that embedded in the oval low level center, there's two minima, one on the NW side of the convection, and one consolidating under the MLC hwere the convection is. Actually it looks like the recon just went through the NW one. Anyways, he makes the argument that the eastern one may become dominant, and may end up rotating around the entirety of the oval low level center when it changes tomorrow, which might send that minima in a brief N-NW heading. To say that the entirety of this system is moving E-ENE is false (I apologize if I insinuated that), the overall flow doesn't make sense for that


The relocation was South East, by a good margin. The question is, what does that do to the track. A 50 mile move south east is not and could not be predicted by the models and could have a change in track. The question is, how much?

Actually if you look at the 12z NAM4k it showed several cyclonic loops (I know its the NAM...)

I agree. The NHC has done a fine job in predicting the nuances of this terribly erratic and unpredictable storm. They can only do so much and can't be responsible for preparing, informing and warning specific communities. The NHC operates on a national level. At some point in the process state, county, and local officials have to make decisions and prepare their communities for the storm.

I think it's time to 'downgrade' all the models back to where they were in 2012 or so. This is just absurd and the main reason NHC forecasts are so far off.

yeah if its not broke don't fix it.


It's pretty broke now!
