That its a diriviteve of the GFS and so the model sucks.
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.

NOTE: By no means an endorsement of the latest GFDL forecast.
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.

Well, I inadvertently fired the warning shot at anyone who would say that. Sorry it hit you

Well, I thought the same thing as you. I don't consider the GFDL to suck, even tho the GFS does.clfenwi wrote:Wnghs2007 wrote:clfenwi wrote:Wnghs2007 wrote:deltadog03 wrote:hahaha GFDL...so, when all the models shift back west...what is all of the people who shifted last time out to sea going to say??

NHC track does not have it making landfall, most models have been trending right. I will eat crow if I must, but I dont see this making to the US.

i'll give you that DWG no landfall prejected by NHC however they have hung the system in that general area now for almost 2 days.I think they are to unsure of a call right now and they clearly say in the 5pm Discussion that the globals weaken the ridge with no trough and that seems unlikely so we will have to wait and see what happens
