eye becoming better defined, as well.


well more likely than if it kept driving west but quite honeslty this was expected although they were forecasting it to do this in 12-24 and it started quick so its wait and see..all depends on the situation upstream in 3-4 days.


Well, I wouldn't say the wnw started quicker than expected. They did forecast it to start moving wnw for quite a few advisories before it did. ;)

Today's Discussion
POSTED: September 8, 2004 2:13 p.m.


As of 2 p.m. EDT, Tropical Depression Frances is located over southwestern Virginia. Frances is moving slowly toward the north-northeast at about 10 mph. An upper-level system will cause Frances to pick up forward speed to the north-northeast tomorrow. Heavy rainfall and bands of severe weather will continue to be the main problems with this system, from the Carolinas northward into Pennsylvania today, and eventually farther north into New York state and even New England.

Hurricane Ivan is a dangerous Category 4 hurricane. As of 2 p.m. EDT, Ivan was centered at 13.1 north, 67.0 west, or about 740 miles east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. Ivan is moving west-northwestward at 16 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 140 mph. The central pressure in Ivan is 949 millibars or 28.02 inches. We expect Ivan to continue on a west-northwest course for the next 2-3 days, bringing the hurricane just north of The Dutch Netherland Antilles today and over or close to Jamaica on Friday. Ivan will probably undergo fluctuations, and there is a concern this hurricane could become a very dangerous Category 5 hurricane. The track that Ivan takes past the end of the week is very uncertain. Model output is showing a gradual turn to the northwest and then to the north toward Florida Sunday. However, this far out we cannot be sure of the future track of late in the weekend or early next week. All interests in the northern and northwest Caribbean, as well as all interests in the Gulf of Mexico, should keep a close eye on Ivan.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic basin, we have a tropical wave along 30 west, and about 15 north, east of the Cape Verde Islands, moving west. A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic, along 41 west, south of 17 north, moving west. There is a tropical wave over the Yucatan Peninsula, moving westward.

More importantly

#770 Postby otowntiger » Wed Sep 08, 2004 1:56 pm

MORe importantly that scenario would be very bad for Orlando. That is how Charley hit us and it wasn't pretty. Still not. Some parts of Orlando will take a long time to recover. We still have a ton of debris, make that timber lying on our road waiting for County to pick up. Roofs are covered with tarp all over the place. We got 105 mph winds when he came here, If Ivan does something similar with similar strength, look out! Jacksonville, you'd get some nasty weather too, but not as bad, excepting tornadoes, flooding, etc.

I'm not saying to rely on the GFS but what I am saying is that I don't believe this Central GOM stuff.

To get Ivan to far into the GOM that High better get its act together & all indications are that its pretty much status quo.

By the way.. does anyone have initial estimates on Frances damage yet? Some said it could be the costliest cane in history..

I've heard $2B-$10B, more recently around $5B. Although people are still getting rained on so who knows.

Is this new tropical wave at 15/30 going to be much of a threat?
