ULL's are always a wild card when it comes to forecast models.


Might be better for the discussion thread Frank :) Not much shear over Laura, land interaction is what did a number on it. It remains to be seen how favorable conditions are in the gulf in the next few days, but always a good idea to prepare for the worst and then see what happens.

Mark, can you move it over there or should I copy and paste it on that board?

Thanks

I swear the Euro has been so bipolar lately, definitely not the same model from years ago.

Yeah Lake Jackson is where I live. I'm in emergency response so I'll be here but my family is leaving tomorrow no matter what.

I don’t think the models are done swinging.
I always felt we had to wait until Laura made
it into the Gulf before the models would do a better
job with her track. IMO

Almost a given. These models are windshield wipers due to the unique environment created by Marco and land interaction. Also, it looks like Laura is almost rotating in two different directions. Half of her wants to go North? I don't understand the what or why but it looks like two separate bits of circulation are reforming? South of Cuba? Is it something obvious I'm not privy to?

Not sure if I saw it mentioned, but the 00z UKMET was so far south compared to the rest of the models that it nearly clears the tip of Cuba.

Was that further south than the actual location? Maybe that explains why the UKMET went west of Freeport.

I'm a bit surprised the NHC remained as far east in the 11am track. They don't seem to be buying the westward shift of the EURO. They think that ridging will break down. They do mention the likelihood of rapid strengthening in the Gulf however, and have Laura coming ashore as a dangerous 90 kt+ hurricane.

Wouldn't a weaker ridge mean Texas is less likely for landfall?

NAM is bad for forecasting tropical cyclones, but a good tool for ridge placement

NAM may not be good at forecasting tropical cyclones but from what I’ve learned over the past few years, it does pretty well with the steering part of things.

It's not meant for the tropics. But it can sure do winter storms!

Laura also seems notably weaker on the latest run. The NAM seems to be showing more shear and mid-level dry air as well.

Not that we should use NAM for intensity, but just comparing it to the 06z NAM run it doesn't seem weaker. 12z NAM has landfall at 907 mbar, 06z NAM had 909 mbar.
