06z ETA = Hmmm... (NO landfall in FL according to this run)

Well, the new ETA from the 06z ETA is interesting. It appears it is further east....

If we compare these two frames, a N shift, with a bit of a West one included, but more N, is shown.

From what I understand, the ETA is not good at modeling tropical systems. I will discount this one.

That is correct. The ETA does not handle TC's very well. BUT, this run COULD be a precursor to what the other runs of the global models may show, so this is why it is being posted here.

YES. It is alot further north and east through 66s hours. Is it on crack? Who knows. I'll I know is the models are as lost as A blind dog in a Meat house. This is it. I give up if the GFS makes a Noreaster.

NCBird

NO.> It means that this model is predicting a more northerly track.

By the way... for that track to verify it would have to go almost due north through 66 hours.

This is one computer model, and a poor one at predicting tropical systems. Folks, dont let your guard down.
