Canadian Model Run an interesting "outlier" . . .

#1 Postby WeatherNole » Sat Aug 28, 2004 12:02 am

Is this a one-time anomaly, or is it picking up on something? If we see any kind of trends from other models to move in this direction the next few days, it could well be on to something. As an aside - some of the "best minds" at FSU's Met Dept. are leaning this way too. We shall see.

If the Canadian verifies then the forward speed of Frances will be much faster than depicted by the GFS....perhaps fast enough to catch a lingering weakness in the steering flow that the GFS has franses missing.

Funny...the CMC operational model was frequently an outlier during Isabel amoungst the CMC ensembles.

That closed low over TN/KY at the 500mb level looks a bit suspect. The trough still looks rather flat in the east and the flow pretty much zonal, so the northward motion may be caused by that low eroding the ridge, which may dissapear in subsequent runs.

". . in subsequent runs" is the key.

There is still PLENTY of time to look at this thing, BUT if the Canadian shows some continuity and IF the other models start trending more northerly, then it may be on to something.

Way too many "ifs" and "maybes" right now. Another day or two should shake out some better solutions.

All models have no shifted to a Westward track into the Bahamnas,, not good for South Florida or the GOM!

The 144 hr position is almost the exact same as the 0Z 144 HR UK run.

Looks like after day 6 they don't want to commit to a landfall. The flow is zonal all the way to Chaba.
