Accuweather just mentioned GOM

Jim (didn't catch his last name) from Accuweather just said live on MSNBC that it looks like the storm is going to go further West than originally thought. Said it should pass closer to Tampa due to the HP ridge continuing to push it West.

Now, that's funny....we are in the fall pattern already. The only hurricanes we'll be seeing here for the remainder of this season will have to develop on stalled fronts in the GOM.

I haven't forgotten. But, it appears that for 2004, we have already entered the fall pattern and I don't think it will change for the remainder of this hurricane season. We're going to be having some very cool, wonderful weather down here in our parts in about 2 weeks. Get ready to turn off the AC!!!

Yoda, if she will clip the GOM...where do you think that will be...north or south of Tampa Bay?

I saw him (Jim) earlier on Fox w / Geraldo. He is very dramatic, he seems to have consumed multiple cans of Red Bull. He definitely doesn't lack energy. He didn't mention the GOM scenario on Geraldo, he said he thought it would ride the periphery of the ridge and go between Tampa and Orlando on up into NE Fl.

I hate to mention this, but New Orleans is on the strike probability map on Wunderground.

However, it's not on the probability list.

Well... not yet....

As October 2002 arrived we thought that we were done with any threats of tropical systems in this part of the GOM, but Lili proved us wrong and she kicked us really badly. Never underestimate mother nature and this season has been full of surprises. You never know.

No suprise.... As a lefty! I wouldnt be suprised if jeanne Follows Frances track mile for mile But maybe even a little further west into P/H or Big bend! and the Fast FWD speed may keep it a 'cane to 2ND L/F! This ridge is Very strong!

Sean in New Orleans · #14 Postby **Sean in New Orleans** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 12:55 am

I can honestly say, I have no concern about this storm coming to New Orleans...none at all. I'm looking forward to a good week here, although, we still could use some rain.

How about Kissing tail??? You were W-R-O-N-G & some of you try to slowly swirl your tails in the fact that now, oh yes now maybe the NOGAPS has some value for this forecast.

I will relish in the fact that common sense showed a strong westward movement when maybe smarter people didn't see it, because they were blinded with models and satellites over good ole common sense radar. Hey a storm moving between the words "Ft Pierce" (to the north) & "West Palm Beach"(to the south) is so-so clear. I mean how can that not be seen??? Well it wasn't, the words straight as a arrow and the bullseye moving westward...hmmm ..how could that hit Melbourne or even Vero Beach so close with land???

Read it-know it-and understand it ...the word is "dorks" <smiling>

Now lets see what happens over land.
Take Care,
Mike

Gee Thanks... I am a smart person... and I was not blind... I resent your post to the fullest extent.

So, in your opinion, where would 2nd landfall be?

AT this point it could make it as far as 84* west near appalachacola...SPELLING DISCLAIMER!
