The observation that the wave center is moving near west to maybe 275* is perfectly legitimate and doesn't deserve to be heckled.


AGREED...It dosn't deserve to bashed...i have no problem with anyone putting what they think or see the movement to be...and yes, its moving around "275"


The problem is with no clear center fix its hard to put a number on direction. I see more like 300, but until we get a better fix on definitive center we are just speculating.

Thanks, Sanibel - that's been my gut feeling for a number of weeks.

As far as statistics go, NOAA and CSU might be on track to forecast a record season, but, if the current weakness continues, we might see a revision in at least the wording of the overall outlook in the weeks to come (for example, they might state "it is now forecast that while the season will probably remain at record levels for tropical cyclone development, the possibililty of a repeat of 2004's record for landfalling hurricanes seems to be lessening").

Just a possibility, but, it definitely seems possible at this time.

Re: deltadog03's post

That's okay - we all posting so fast that we're tripping over each other's shoes!

Lots of cloud-to-ground lightning here ATT - I'd best stop before I'm toast...

don't forget isabel that was at 20.3 north and 47.8 west and still made a landfall in the US so just because it crosses 20 north that far out doesn't mean that it can't turn back and pose a serious threat the to US

True, but right now there just doesn't seem to be a strong enough ridge pattern that will be in place to cause that to happen. Things could always change however.

Yeah, you're right...just seems like the past 6 hours on this storm seems more like 6 days with the range of possbilities tossed out there....and it's not even named yet (altho it prob should be, but that's another thread...)

Hey Luis, better hope TD 9 doesn't follow the path that well defined Upper Low is taking ( appraoching from the ENE).

Luis, you and everyone else REALLY need to watch this...cuz, the farther WEST it gets...and IF** it turns NW or whatever that means the closer it gets to you...

There were several references to weaknesses in the subtropical ridge in this morning's TCD - I'm not surprised, as it seems the subtropical ridge isn't a ridge at all this season, but two or three separate high pressure areas.

If this continues, this will truly make a difference in the outcome of the season.

These models initialize every storm out here to move more north than it does...this storm will end up more west and models are already starting to recognize the strengthening ridge and pushing it westward. Remember we have very strong ridging this year...I see not fish here :eek:

:eek:

NHC 5AM discussion:

MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS AGREE THAT THE WEAKNESS WILL SLOWLY FILL IN AS THE LOW WEAKENS...WHICH WILL ACT TO FORCE THE TROPICAL CYCLONE ON A MORE WESTWARD TRACK AFTER 36 HOURS. IN THE DAY 4 AND 5 TIME PERIODS...THE MODELS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE UKMET...NOGAPS...CANADIAN...AND ECMWF
MODELS TURNING THE CYCLONE NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD ANOTHER DEVELOPING WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE...WHEREAS THE GFS AND GFDL MOVE THE STORM MORE WESTWARD.
