Any opinions about apparent N or NW movement

#1 Postby Tommedic » Wed Jul 13, 2005 9:14 pm

Especially for Mike or other Mets... Any thoughts about Sat pics and apparent N movement. Also about weakness or at least possible weakness to north.

Just my two cents, but she seems like she's pulling north and west.

further north she goes...chances of it resuming a due west movement lessens.....thus Gulf Coast all of the sudden needs to watch this thing, wow what a difference an hour can make!

It is an illusion caused by interaction with land...

I agree with Derek. I think the apparent northward movement is actually an illusion--it's the circulation catching up to the center of the storm. The center has been north of the circulation for some time. Now that she's getting better organized, I think the circulation is wrapping around the center now. Of course, I'm just a rookie. But that's my thoughts on the matter.

Latest fix b/w the recons shows the center has jogged to the NNE...but this is not an actual movement of the system. It's getting it's act together right now...and the center is trying to find its "happy place." Once it does...expect a track to the west or wnw to resume. But...this little reorganizing jogs north do have an impact on the end game.

Maybe we'll have an eye by morning and we'll no longer have to debate where the center is. :lol:

Thanks a bunch Air Force Met. AM I wrong or does the water vapor hint at a weakness to north. Or am I "-removed-". Not trained, I can only make an educated guess.

NOt long...it's just a jog. The center should be moving back west any time now since it is finally inside the CDO. It didn't job north because of any weakness...but because it is restructuring itself to make better use of the CDO. Once it's satisified...it will move back to the west.

My opinion is ONCE again the NHC is on top of this...They forecasted the turn and I dont EVER remeber them forecating it to hit SA and so far even when looked CERTAIN it was going to go stright into SA it hasnt! Awesome forecasting...I read a thread today or yesturday wondering how the NHC was going to explain this? Well looks like there no explanation needed! Alot of negative post in recently or maybe not negative but doubting the NHC forecast,ect and to be honest I thought it wouldnt turn and at the last minute...it did! Kudos Now lets see what the next set of advisories bring!

what its doing now isnt going to change the fact that a big fat high is going to be parked over the GOM for the forseeable future.

nhc is even bending further west after a couple days of wnw.
