Down the road a spell

#1 Postby hurricanetrack » Sun Aug 07, 2005 12:04 am

Ok- FWIW the GFS does show a nice zonal 500mb pattern 16 days from now. This would at least suggest that if anything were in the pipeline it would have a chance of coming fairly far to the west:

No troughs seen in there- nice ridge on both sides of the Atlantic, If I understand the chart correctly.

Theres a weakness in between the eastern Atlantic ridge and the western Atlantic ridge.

I haven't checked the other levels, but I'm assuming thats an ULL northeast of Puerto Rico.

Don't see how we could get an east coast storm under those circumstances...

But west into the Carribbean? Looks like it.

Tho I could be completely wroong..cuz I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Yea Mark, I was talking to Matt Carrier about that the other day and he mentioned how if anything came from the deep tropics or Atlantic, it would most likely be steered west. I have a feeling Jose/Katrina/Lee may be here before September, and something tells me that all three won't be quiet. Odd thing is, all three names sound like storms I can picture hearing you say, "I'm Mark Suddeth here tracking...."

How is THAT good news? Do you want damage, destruction, and death again?

Don't get me totally wrong, I don't wish that on you. You just need to be REALLY careful what you wish for.
