If Irene stalled off the coast, it would be an even bigger nightmare to forecast than it is now..

I don't understand the reasonig behind starting a new thread. If a new thread is started, then you would be forcing a new reader to go to another thread, read the 99 pages, then go to the new thread, right? Why not have the entire discussion in one thread to avoid duplicate threads? If someone is bored enough to read 99+ pages of posts about Irene developing, not developing, moving west, moving WNW, etc., more power to him/her. ;-)

You do realize that it beat the NHC's forecast in the 72, 96, and 120 hr periods during Charley? (1)

And the NHC's forecasts for all periods after 36 hours during Ivan? (2)

And was the top performer (for track forecasts) among models that NHC tracked in 2003? (3)

For a model that sucks, it does a darn good job.

Yeah, if you thought TD Irene made forecasters cry and/or pull out their hair... and the GFDL forecast verifies then... stand by to stand by!

Having one unified thread is also great for posterity's sake when during the winter months, we're so bored that we'd like to read up all about Irene. Makes it easier to retrieve all the posts on her.

Say she ends up hitting Washington D.C. as a cat 5. Point is, we don't know in advance. but if she does, wouldn't it be great in hindsight to know that the entire chronicle of the storm was together in one thread?

You misread my post, I was saying that is what all the out to sea people are going to say about the model. Because they have the mentality that anything that comes off the GFS sucks.
And the GFDL is a direct model related to the GFS.

Thought I happen to agree with them in most cases that the GFS bites crap on wheels after 84 hours in the winter and most other times btw, I do not happen to agree with them now. LOL, Now Im consfusing myself. :lol:

The ridge is filling yes? I thought it was earlier today. But it looks as though the globals are picking that up now. Too soon to tell, but a another run or two. I predicted a "crossroads" for Irene this morning. Let's see which road she takes. I gather from the last discussion the NHC sees it that way too, but they don't have the luxury of saying that like I do. They have to pick a solution which is most likely and be right. The speed of the system is tough to guess at/predict. speeding and slowing start to have larger effect from here on in. N or W ( that S thing is a model waggle)

The thing is, the stalling is a valid idea. *sigh*

i am not sure i trust any model in such a strange pattern on a even stranger storm.Just along for a ride that may get bumpy for me here in NC thats all.Curious to see what happens when and IF it slows down in the later periods.
