12Z European Model...Same Song...Same Dance

#1 Postby MWatkins » Sat Aug 28, 2004 1:54 pm

The 12Z Euro...one again....depicts a very strong cyclone approaching the SE Florida coast...and nothing hanging to turn frances northward.

Usually...when the Euro is this persistent...it is hard to agrue with...the same model called Isabel over and over and over again last year. It tends to handle big storms like this one quite well:

With so many models coming into some sort of agreement on this scenario this far out how likely is it for some dramatic change?

Mike....what can I say?

You are such a tremendous forecaster and I cannot even begin to say how much I value your opinions. Your radio show is 2nd to none. Thanks for posting all this model data as well.

Just all around Thanks!

the euro is one of the bst like Mike said... This could really start to be the target area... I am thinking maybe just a bit more north... however, i thought charley was starting to weaken abit o radar when it was really tightening up... lol... i was in the back of the Tahoe -removed- it to weaken I guess.. lol... It is looking bad for Florida at this point...

She seems to be on her W to WNW track again. If this is the movement now, the national hurricane center will have to adjust there track to the left again.

this stinks...

#12 Postby Weatherboy1 » Sat Aug 28, 2004 2:47 pm

I have to tell you, this downright stinks. As others have pointed out, the Euro model is very reliable, and with each of the last three runs, it has moved Frances further and further west. The fact it shows her starting to hook WNW and NW only 100-200 miles off the east coast of FL has me getting more concerned.
