want to see the overnight trends before making any significant adjustments to the north. I no longer believe the southward solution as this is definately not a shallow storm anymore

Figured I'd pass this along. This is the Wind profile in knots of Tropical Storm Estelle, initialized 18z Aug 20.

The server didn't explicitly acknowledge the model name, but I am pretty sure it is the GFDL initialization. I got it from a public access data server.

ftp://ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/hur/prod/

I ran GrADS to analyze the data

JTWC has just made a correction on Estelle:

However, it stills seems to be staying south of Hawaii.
