CLP5 is not a "real" model, it is climate and persistence. i.e. Where storms in this location historically go. Ignore it. Its use is to see how the bad real models are.

I thought CLP5 was a real model.

The HMON 'Hurricane' model run has started, I'll update as it updates.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
It’s not heading north with that 2020 semi-permanent ridge building. If it as the HWRF suggest, it would probably be sheared apart.

Seems like the HWRF and HMON are showing competing parts of the disturbance within the next day or so before one takes over.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
Did HWRF have a bad initialization or something like that? It went from showing a cat 4 all day to showing nothing now. Considering the overwhelming model support for storm formation I'm gonna assume it's a fluke for now, but it is a weird development. Will be interesting to see what 00z does.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
HWRF is taking longer than the previous runs and the HMON for one of the circulations to become dominant. Looks like one finally wins out by Saturday night.

Why is there suddenly so much shear?
Even with this weaker run (at least during the first 3 days), the north end of the storm still wins out. The 18z intensity guidance on Tropical Tidbits shows that the HWRF has a borderline Cat 4 and the HMON has a 145 kt Cat 5, both by Day 5.

HWRF is now thinking of strong wind shear over the system, the ridge near the jet stream is the main reason why.
EDIT: I spoke too soon, the shear at +81 hours just dies, allowing the system to become a hurricane at +87 hours

It has a successful EWRC on Monday that leads to another phase of RI. This run also sees the center jumping around and winning out the north side, becoming a nicely stacked TC by Saturday afternoon and a hurricane less than 24 hours later. The HWRF takes about a day or so longer to get Iota’s center completely sorted out; maybe this is just a bad run.

Re: ATL: INVEST 98L - Models
HWRF much more reasonable to me. Especially with the shear. It'll be interesting to see what it peaks at. It could also be a fluke run though. We'll see at 0z
