So...here comes the new GFS

#1 Postby PurdueWx80 » Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:57 pm

and it isn't pretty.

While it had been constant for about 2 runs...it is now WAY left. The Eta is still left...and I can't wait to see the rest of the globals. If you thought Charley brought surprises...we ain't seen nothin' yet.

The rest of the run is yet to be seen...but it is WAY left now.

Yes I posted this a while ago and nobody saw it. Through 66 hour it is on the western tip of Cuba.

So what is making the models shift more west suddenly? Is this a trend or just a one time glitch and then shift back to the east tomorrow. I thought a couple of times this week, this storm has a chance to go further west forecasted just on his strength and the trough being weak.

Maybe Ivan's recent motion is telling sign of what may be happening.
