  1. Just making the same obs and drawing the same conclusions.
  2. Too many folks are approaching this like its a slam dunk, PV on roids season.
  3. That's the point; nobody is sure of anything with respect to the eruption, aside from its influence in the S HEM.
  4. Yea, that's what I meant.....I think I recall ECMWF admitting that the last round of upgrades prioritized the mid latitudes at the expanse of the tropics.
  5. GFS has closed the cap, to a degree, on the EURO IMHO.
  6. Looking at just how far west some these runs are, sure....it just depends on how close it gets to the west coast of FL. I shouldn't have initially been so dismissive before viewing all of the AM suite.
  7. I'm not sure Hunga Tonga doesn't trend the polar strat warmer in the N HEM.
  8. If anything, a system crawling has more time to build the fetch and then you add excessive freshwater flooding from 20"+ RF.
  9. Spare Florida of major wind damage, which isn't the primary threat, anyway.
  10. Yea, it has to intensify some, or else it peaks as weak and I do think it sneaks into moderate territory.
  11. Wind won't be the story with this one.
  12. Yea, this is why I was saying the further west it goes, the weaker the LF. N gulf coast will primarily bring hydro issues.
  13. I still say you want this in faster, and further south if you want an intense LF. I suspect a N GOM collapser if not.
  14. Exactly. If Fiona had hit us, it would have rivaled '38.
  15. I believe so...not to mention '38 struck at a significantly further south latitude.
  16. I think the main difference was that this didn't move nearly as fast as '38, which allowed for the drop to relatively modest wind intensity on approach.
  17. My early impression is that '38 was significantly worse, though this was a strong hit.
