Question About The National Hurricane Center and Frances

#1 Postby snowflake » Sat Aug 28, 2004 8:32 am

When will the hurricane center have a better handle on where Frances is going? I would also like to know if there are any meteoroligist registered here.

Give them at least three to five more days, but even then they will be subject to error still.

3-5 days is pretty good for the U.S. but let us not forget the islands. The appraoch towards the islands and it's ultimate locations in relevance to PR will be a good indication as she approaches the Bahamas. If Gaston hangs around longer than expected, it could be a bit difficult. NOAA jet is to be in the area I beleive Sunday evening. Confidence goes up considerably and models refine the projections based on this jet upper level condition data.

There is always less confidence in tropical cyclone forecast tracks versus "regular" baroclinic low forecast tracks throughout a forecast period.
