With a wsw turn at the end. As it bombs out to a cat 4 borderline 5

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...

Also shows the SW dip as well I think for the first time.

Yup, we can add the HMON to the list of models showing a wsw track into Florida

Yep it bends down WSW at the end as you say, not that dissimilar to the ICON either.

More 0Z Euro ensemble members showing a recurve before hitting the SE coast than yesterday. All of them are slower members; the ridge has time to break down: https://www.weathernerds.org/tc_guidanc ... 0829074143

Now add another 48 hours to those ensemble members, and the ones that have reached the GOM at 120 hours turn north towards panhandle, the ones off the Florida coast turn north to a recurve, and the one's over Florida move north up the spine:

The UKMET ensembles show a very similar evolution:

Great illustrations and analysis USTropics on the complex steering challenges in the forecast track of Dorian. This is going to drive me insane trying to see how it shakes down this weekend.
06z HWRF did make landfall north of 28 so that will help balance the HMON and Navgem solutions. I don't see any other new trends this morning that would call for any major modifications to the official forecast.

Aric Dunn wrote:Given the setup i just dont see it getting that far north before turning westerly. I have a feeling we are going to see an even more gradual left turn before turning dew west. Which would bring it a little more south.
Yeah, Aric I was thinking the same thing. Starting with just a hint more of a forward track (5 degrees or so) more to the left currently, and then a further westward bend as Dorian becomes that much more trapped under the influence of the building ridge.... and feeling that much less influence from a departing Erin. This may suggest a bit of a quicker WNW forward speed to evolve in the nearer term. Then as models are suggesting this a.m., a slower approach as it nears the Florida coastline. I think NHC will shift the landfall a tad southward at 11:00. Perhaps Vero to Sebastian area.

If it makes it to the FL coast and don't pull a Floyd it's 1000 times more likely to pull a HMON into PBC vs HWRF based on climo.

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Models
06Z HMON with WSW dive into South Florida nearly over my house in Boca Raton. The WSW dip shown by several of the models is interesting and extremely concerning:

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Models
That’s quite the shift with the HMON...as others have stated the wsw dip is interesting.

Re: ATL: DORIAN - Models
Have to admit that the 0Z Euro ensemble tracks suggesting the possibility of a more northward recurve just prior to or near landfall, is an interesting fly in the ointment. Curious how much later in time those particular member have this occur given some other model support showing the contrary - a short term dip toward the WSW. Timing is everything..... timing is everything.... timing is everything

Lets hope this slowdown and recurve shown by some ensemble members becomes a trend the other models start picking up on.

Well looking back to last nights 18z Euro ensembles and then the 0z suite it's quite possible 12z boots Dorian N and possible recurve before landfall. Trend?
