Is This July ????

#1 Postby TampaFl » Mon Jul 04, 2005 10:42 am

This sure does not look like a July 4th map of the tropics - more like August or September :eek: . The MM5 model/not sure how reliable it is.Thoughts and comments welcomed.

That one near TX/LA...is that supposed to be TD3? If so, she goes through rapid intensification just prior to landfall!

I'm running the MM5 on TD 3 and what should soon be TD 4 right now. Should have the runs sent within the hour

I laugh at the FSU run. The MM5 should not be used at that poor of a resolution

wow,

the FSU MM5 has 3 hurricanes hitting the USA at the same time, EVEN THOUGH IT INTENSIFIES ONE OVER THE MOUNTAINS! Have they ever heard of a topography field in their terrain file?

The MM5 is interesting in that it shows a path for the E. Carib wave that is similar to other models (maybe not intensity-wise), but it just gets ridiculous with td03.

The FSU experimental version of the MM5 is pretty wacked-out. At a couple of points, it was spinning Arlene up to a Cat-3 also, so I'm not going to panic over what it's putting off the SE Florida coast. :-)

Also, I find the idea of the Gulf system stalling right off the coast entirely incredible.

if my run of the MM5 shows that, then I will be concerned (we have the proper topography of hispaniola, plus, I only run it with 12 hourly boundary conditions, not 6 which I believe FSU does)

Didn't Dr. Gray state "We are entering a new period ......"

We may be living what will be written in meteorlogical history books
as "Hurricane Attacks"
