Key West AFD

From the Key West AFD:

...BOTH THE ETA AND
GFS ARE NOW HANDLING THE REMNANTS OF TD 2 DIFFERENTLY THAN ON
PREVIOUS RUNS. ETA TRACKS THE ASSOCIATED MOISTURE POCKET FARTHER TO
THE WEST AND QUICKER THAN THE GFS...WHICH PIVOTS ITS STRONGER
DEVELOPMENT JUST TO OUR EAST LATE THIS WEEKEND. THIS COULD SPELL
SOME CHANGES FOR THOSE PERIODS SHOULD THERE BE REDEVELOPMENT ON THIS
MORE WESTERN TRACK THAN PREVIOSLY THOUGHT.

TD2 NO LONGER ANY THREAT TO THE INCREASED SHEAR DISORGANIZING ITS
CIRCULATION. AM NOTING THAT ETA SWINGS THE REMAINING SYSTEM FARTHER
WEST...TAKING IT INTO THE GULF WITH A SWING TOWARDS THE LA
COAST...WHILST THE GFS BENDS IT MORE TOWARDS THE EASTERN FL
COASTLINE.

GOM developement and Azores High

#7 Postby KatDaddy » Thu Aug 05, 2004 8:23 am

Potential building for GOM development next with remnants of TD2 and weak front stalling across N GOM.

Additionally Azores ridge to push W allowing CV system to development and move W into Caribbean.

Things may get quite interesting next week.
