00z GFS hours 72-96 959mb:

Can still come in stronger with about 6-9 hours before landfall.

It was never out of play.
And this run is definitely further west. Traversing the GoM and ladfall around Galveston at 969mb.

That path would be skirting the Greater Metro Houston Area just to its east, almost on top of it.

Re: ATL: LAURA - Models
My takeaway is that the GFS is basically saying Laura could traverse over the entire length of Hispaniola and Cuba and still become a formidable hurricane in the Gulf.

The trajectory and rapid deepening on the models reminds me of the 1886 Indianola hurricane—only the landfall is a bit farther north in TX this time.

Re: ATL: LAURA - Models
Folks do not forget that the UKMET is a top tier model up there with the Euro and GFS. It is showing a 950mb landfall.

hopefully tonight's runs are enough for people to stop dismissing the hurricane models' strong solutions. it is becoming clear that there is a serious threat for a major in louisiana/texas in 4 days.

Re: ATL: LAURA - Models
So what’s the chance this comes further west and hits us in mid Texas coast?

Trending in that direction, absolutely possible. Still need to wait to see how she traverse Hisp and Cuba - tomorrows model runs will be telling

Re: ATL: LAURA - Models
I just have a hard time believing the ridge would be that strong to keep her west entire way! I see Laura takes a north at landfall so that is saving me from believing I’m in danger

Re: ATL: LAURA - Models
You can subtract ~20mb from those global model pressure readings due to limitations of their resolutions.

950mb for global models is very low. This tells me the reality may end up much lower

Yeah, GFS smokes the Golden Triangle on that run. CMC is running now. It hit around Destin/Sandestin on the 12z run.
