New 12z GFS loop, continues, just north of islands track...

The 12z GFS loop contiunes the model the same track we have seen from the gfs for over 24 hours now. Just north of the islands.

Interestingly toward the end of the loop. It shows two storms emerging and forming near africa, and it shows the storms 'Dancing' until one rips the other apart. lol it was fun to watch!

Interesting that the 12Z GFS puts Frances across Cuba and makes landfall in NE TX :eek: Shows various other storms in the Atlantic.

Interesting. At the latter part of the loop it looks very similar to the path that Georges took in 98' but just a tad bit further south.

Its not the fact that it gets her to TX but the fact that it wants to build a ridge strong enough to drive her that far west.

But this will change again. :roll:

In my opinion Allen was the ultimate hurricane when it comes to combined size and strength. The storm basically was 500 miles is diameter!!!!

Yup Stormcenter, Allen was a real monster!

And to think it went from a Cat-5 to Cat-3 ... thank goodness!!

Wonder if Frances will let us know she is getting ready to turn west? The aviation model predicts a classic little swing to the north (usually accompanied by a stall in forward motion) just before the westward swing. A couple extra degrees of north latitude before the turn to the west would make a lot of difference to the northern islands.
