Doesnt look like a turn to me. Looks like a brief stall.

That basically true, however, I would say the eastern half of that region and Hurricane Watches aren't issued this far in advance.

Well the Topic says "Cuba to be missed". I am not trying to be rude.Sorry if it sounded like that, but Its like saying the US would spared. Saying any country/state is in the clear is not intelligent. In my opinion its misleading especially for the people that know nothing about weather

Sorry, to me it just looks like it slowed down, no northerly turn noted

Sorry Corpus, but its not coming to your house. The reason why Gilbert kept moving WNW w/o turning is because it remained equatorward of the sub-tropical ridge which extended well westward into the southern plains

That is the type of situation you need to keep it moving westward w/o turning. In other words you cant have any weakeness in the ridge that could turn the system.

Why would that make you mad? It almost sounds like you want Ivan to make landfall in Florida? I know that can't be true, right?

Man either you've got great eyes or gave the wrong like. If there's even a hint of NW in there then the earth has been turned sideways.

LOL, I don't see it. Just 3 frames ago he wobbled Southwest.

Somehow, Ivan looks even more up close and personal in the GOM IR view:

I wonder if they'll open the bank vaults to the public for protection from Ivan the Monster of the carribean???/

das8929 · #4917 Postby **das8929** » Sat Sep 11, 2004 5:53 pm

Now its wobbling to the NW, just like it was wobbling W. Hence, WNW!!
