Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Yet another major into Cuba. The GFS has been very consistent about this scenario for days.

That is obviously a good thing. But I worry that the next time a storm actually does hit SE Florida... What will the public do? I'm not in Florida so I wouldn't know for sure, but 15 years is enough time where many people would not remember Wilma. So I would think they wouldnt care and wouldn't prepare like they should because they don't really know what it's like
Florida remembers WIlma VERY well. THose living here anyway, and there are still a few left!

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Totally different CONUS pattern on 18Z GFS with strong E US ridging is causing the storm to hug the FL coast! Holy poop!

It’s the backwards S coming out of the Caribbean that I talked about earlier.

Oh yeah Wilma is definitely a never-forget kind of storm... But I still wonder how they would handle it if another one of those were coming. Would they actually prepare and evacuate, or just expect it to miss like recent storms. Hopefully it would be the former

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
I'd say we have a tad bit of a West shift on the 18z GFS

Re: Possible SW Caribbean Development
Hurricane just offshore WPB on 18z GFS. Much stronger 500mb ridging north of the cane at 216 hrs. Will it rideup along the east coast of Florida?

Similar to Matthews path out of the Caribbean when it went between Cuba and Haiti.

The good news is that the models seem, at least for the time being to be settling on the wave getting together a little further east, so that its going to impact Cuba head on and not have alot of water before it gets to FLorida if it does impact it. Still, landfall at 960 or so as in this model is probably borderline major.

Thing is, us south Floridians can't just up and evacuate as easily as Gulf Coasters. We prepare as best as we can and hunker down in a structure or shelter that can handle it. Our building codes can usually handle most things... but Floyd and Irma had people stuck on the roads for hours and out of gas.
