Thanks..the center was right on the edge of that..the 12.5km makes things easier to see, I'd been looking at 25km.

latest models show a major shift east unless i am a idiot and do not know how to look at the graphics here. Now looks like a miss to the east for the mid atlantic much like the global models have been suggesting.

This is not an open wave, the surface circulation is likely very tight which causes quickscat to miss it.

Tropical WAVE Irene? This seems to me to be an indirect insult to the NHC. It gives the impression that you are mocking them.

Derek Ortt · #1625 Postby **Derek Ortt** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:08 pm

the 12.5km is a lot better. The fact that it shows an open wave means that this is almost certainly an open wave as it can resolve these small circulations, where the 25km version may not have been able to

Derek, you're the only met I see calling this an "open wave" on anywhere. Even Dr. Lyons thought this was becoming a TS tonight. QS should be used as a tool in finding a closed surface circulation, not a single determining factor. You can't just ignore organzation seen on satellite images all day long.

well, whatever...this is not all a HUGE deal...that its tracking WNW and not W...her fate will ultimately be decided by the ridge...

My mistake. I looked at a longer loop and it has pulled up WNW since this afternoon...

wow, some people like to jump on a bandwagon very quick....calm down, we all now models flip flop...this could just be one of those flops....dont try to make it gospel

If they went 100 percent on the quickscats Emily would of been a tropical wave for a run or two. Wow would that be a amazing most powerful tropical wave to ever cross the caribbean. Its a tool for forecasters not the end of the world.

HAHAHAHAHA...the new model spread is quite funny...im amazed

Sanibel · #1634 Postby **Sanibel** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:14 pm

It went poleward after contacting the troughiness this afternoon.

It should get progressively better as each pulse loses less convection.

West Atlantic is not supporting storms...

WindRunner · #1635 Postby **WindRunner** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:14 pm

Makes either the NHC track or the models look a little crazy.

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #1636 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:15 pm

Are we with in range of recon??? I hope they did not spend all there funds up already.

That would tell us the story.

#1637 Postby **deltadog03** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:16 pm

ITS NOT moving poleward...that gets blown waaaay out of porportion...It simply redeveloped further north...look at the sat...she is not pulling out...

No but an incredible sunset here in Palm Beach County

However, I must admit it was probabaly due to T-Storm blowoff....

The ridicule the UKMET took at 5PM discussion was a little premature, I think everyone including the NHC needs to apologize to the UKMET. It was just the leader.

leader of the wrong forecast track maybe...read the 5pm disco...NOTHING will get through that ridge.....that is a strong ridge
