Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
The fact that this is likely 5 days from passing south or striking S.FL and the GFS and Euro show nothing is embarrassing. Not saying the hurricane models are correct as they may be overdoing intensity (hopefully). But if the latest 18z HWRF run of a 942mb Cat.4 striking SE Florida come to fruition a lot of people are going to be caught off guard!!

No 18z on TT, so around midnight for the 0z.

I do think it's on to something with development of a TC in 24-48 hours, but beyond that nope.
It nailed Irmas track. I don’t remember intensity

I’m guessing you’re not counting the GFS and Euro anymore?

I wish we could come up with some good reason for why the euro and gfs are showing nothing. But I can’t and the experts don’t seem sold on them being correct either. We’re just kinda lost for now

People won't be caught off guard. If the storm behaves as the HWRF depicts then that is what the NHC forecast and advisories will show. About 0.001% of the population follow these models like we do

I’m inclined to blame the virus and lack of data being input into them, but who knows anymore!

The HWRF is just one model and not everyone follows the weather as closely as we do.

That's one possibility, but I always was lead to believe the models get their data from Earth orbiting satellites, not commercial airliners. Any mets on here know better?

My posts are my own personal opinion, defer to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other NOAA products for decision making during hurricane season.

I don’t think it was too far off on intensity either

They get data from a variety of sources including commercial jets, cargo ships and cruise ships. Minimal cruise ships right now and less overseas flights. Not expert but that’s my understanding

The only thing that counts is the NHC. They will not let people be caught off guard if the models are wrong

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
As much as I don’t want to do this, below is what the GFS showed for Dorian last year around the same timeframe. Look familiar? The Euro just started picking it up but had little either. The HWRF was all over Dorian. I am still going with the GFS and Euro consensus for now though on 98L.
See Dorian models thread. A lot of eerie similarities to what is being discussed in this thread:

18z HWRF verses Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Same day, different year!

Should read "On the right, one run of one model's output for what Invest 98L might do."
Omitting that little caveat is as bad as totally dismissing the system's potential because of the Euro/GFS' lack of enthusiasm.
