Re: ATL: IRMA - Models
Looking at the 500mb level, it appears the real difference between the Euro and the GFS is the speed/intensity of the trough that will pull it north. Euro has a weaker and faster trough and Irma almost scoots underneath it and continues northwest while the stronger and slower trough of the GFS hangs around and yanks Irma north much earlier.

Looks like the NHC nudged the track about 15/20 miles West putting the metro Dade, Broward, PB on the dirty side of the storm.. Not the track they need.

GOES16 satellite data is showing Irma restrengthening and rebuilding its western side this evening. Not a good sign for Florida. Irma was having trouble with dry air and shear earlier today, she seems to have kicked those right out of the way. Loop: https://weather.us/satellite/745-w-213- ... .html#play

Re: ATL: IRMA - Models

Yeah, falling pressure. My hunch is that the storm might very well come in as a Cat 5. And a solid CAT 5 at that. Will leave it at that.

My local chief Met Paul Dellegato from Fox 13 Has been studying the the GFS verification and he has said it has not done well last couple days.

Was he wearing a Captain Obvious outfit?

I'm mainly using the GFS runs as a possible intensity guide now. Been relying heavily on the Euro for Irma, and Euro has performed much better.
