  1. Probably, but not a given...15' surge is possible
  2. That will be challenged IMO...will be close, unless it curls more west
  3. Raul, this rate of intensification just make an ERC less likely.
  4. This system reminds me of a post ERC storm in terms of sat presentation...just an anecdotal ob.. .I wonder if some funky internal stuff went on due to friction of land
  5. I got burned expecting that with Michael...its generally the case, but not always.
  6. Be careful assuming ingest of drier continental air upon approach....thre is a mositure feed from central America.
  7. Now that is a catastrophic ensemble suite.
  8. NO needs the bend back more westward in the GOM because right now eastern envelop is favored.
  9. Odds are they won't get the very worst of it, but I felt it prudent to really emphasize the danger because its perfectly feasible
  10. This is why the majority of the most intense US LFs are not long tracker CV storms...that, and less chance for recurve.
  11. That, to me, is the fun of forecasting....hedging when to over/under cut guidance. No one with a true passion for weather vomits model output in any event of relevance.
  12. There are also times when the models are overzealous...again, forecaster needs to blend meteorological breadth of perspective/experience with foundational knowledge to synthesize a superior forecast...machines can not do that.
  13. They are not the ACE makers, but they are the cinema.
  14. Models struggle in extreme scenarios and don't always adequately account for all meteorological phenomena...its like during winter, when models will print out cirrus over the Berkshires with a 970mb tempest just inside of the benchmark. Its incumbent on the forecaster to account for mid level features. Same deal here...intensity guidance can not entirely resolve what is beginning to happen and what will transpire over the course of the next 36-48 hours. The forecaster needs to.
  15. The key to my forecast is that I don't think this has much time to complete an ERC, but even if it does, we will just trade some wind impact for more surge. This one will rank up there.
