The UKMET is so much farther southwest then the rest of the models that one would have to think that it is out to lunch. The 12Z UKMET doesn’t show Florence getting north of 25N, that clearly is going to bust unless Florence stops her current NW movement.

Actually went slightly further south and west, it's very consistent at least. Blue line on https://www.sfwmd.gov/weather-radar/hur ... odel-plots -- Click storm 6.
The TVCN which the NHC has used a lot with developed systems has also shifted slightly south and west from earlier.

Which is exactly what the ukmet says. The ridge builds in quicker florence is slightly slower and it is stuck under a expansive ridge. Very plausible.

Note: If I make a post that is brief. Please refer back to previous posts for the analysis or reasoning. I do not re-write/qoute what my initial post said each time.
If there is nothing before... then just ask

I believe the sky is falling...

Is the TVCN really bending SW?!?

Well we will know soon enough if the UKMET is onto something or not, UKMET says Florence passes south of 24N at 50W.

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
I missed tracking these things, the journey is always so interesting.
This one does worry me though, not once has eastern ridging verified weaker than forecast in the 5-7+ day this season. In fact the opposite has happened, that's why it's in the 90s right now.
I don't know what to make of the Ukmet right now, GFS/Euro/CMC are surprisingly pretty well aligned for 7+ days out.

Gator the SW dive shown by the TVCN is certainly interesting.

Interestingly, average member is a fair bit weaker on the 12Z EPS vs 0Z. Tracks are similar so far. Actually, I think average track is slightly north of the 0Z.

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models

Too close for comfort. Half the models skirt north of Bermuda and half of them skirt south. Not nice to be in the middle of that spread when some of the intensity guidance looks like this.

UKMET:

The SFWMD map does not appear to be the latest because this is heading for Florida/SE coast per UKMET.

Good news fwiw. The 12Z EPS has fewer members than the 0Z EPS hitting the SE US with Hs along with weaker average members. So, good vs the very bad 0Z EPS. But still quite threatening.

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
Out of 51 members, the 12Z EPS has only ~6 TS+ hits on the SE US vs the insane ~23 hits on the 0Z EPS, all 9/13-4:
- 2 on NC, 1 far S GA, 3 N 1/2 of FL
- 2 on NC, 1 far S GA, 3 N 1/2 of FL

Re: ATL: FLORENCE - Models
Esther 1961 rings a bell in terms of a storm that did a similar track. It's not impossible.
