    I am certainly not ready to cancel the season on July 27 but I must say that as I was flying into Fort Lauderdale this afternoon the Sahara dust over S FL was very apparent. As a S Florida resident I can only hope that it stays that way until November.

    Agree about him being the perfect TV met for that winter. He was the first to sniff out the blizzard of 1996 a full week in advance. Pretty impressive for the technology at that time. Whatever he is doing now it is in Houston TX. I went back and forth with a member of the board that is in Houston on the tropical forum.

    I always had a lot of respect for Larry Cosgrove. Back in 1996 when he was a TV Met in Philly he was the very first to sniff out the Blizzard of 1996 a full week ahead of time. With the technology of 1996 as it was that was a great achievement

    That would be a beast if it verifies( very unlikely). It would spend something like 60 hours near or on the FL west coast. The rainfall would be measured in feet in addition to whatever surge and wind damage there is.

    The GFS has had this for something like 15 runs in a row while none of the other models have anything like this. Either: The GFS is on to a 2012 Sandy like coup that gave the Euro the reputation that it had OR It is on to a 2015 Mid Atlantic Blizzard forecast that the Euro was alone on that never materialized and started the Euro's downward trend.

    And only about 44-48 model runs to go.

    Is it forecasted to recurve? If so will it have an effect on North American weather patterns? I seem to remember that a recurving typhoon had an effect on the 2013-2014 winter.

    Thanks so much

    What is the record for ACE for a single storm in the Atlantic Basin?

    I have to believe that the pumps have their own generators

    Looks like surprisingly few head for Florida

    Nice area. Many years ago I hiked up tp the site of a WW2 B17 crash on Crown Point( 10800ft). The snow was still there in late June.

    After a look at the 6Z GFS I am surprised how quiet this sub forum is.

    When is the last time it was several degrees warmer in Phila than Boca Raton FL on Christmas morning?
  16. bigtenfan
    Nothing like having a 995 low in a very good spot and having the 540 line north of Quebec City.

    I have a flight out of FLL tomorrow at 10.45am What are my chances?
  18. bigtenfan
    More like a moderate ts at worst. 10m winds in the 30 to 40 kt range. Pressure in the mid to high 980s

    As a homeowner in Boca Raton I would love to see the season be over but the reality is that we are not even into October yet and many of these late season home brew storms develop quickly and are not foreseen by the global models. Bottom line: You may be right and I certainly hope that you are but it is WAY too early to take any victory laps.

    Agree about MDR season possibly being about over( although one never knows) but out of curiosity with W Carib season about to start what makes you say that that the Gulf may be done for the year? I think that the gulf is very vulnerable during W Carib season.

    Does anybody know if the NWS has a database of lightning strikes containing the exact day . time and location of lightning strikes? thank you in advance.

    I was just comparing on an apples to apples basis the same scribbled blob from the previous update. The little north curve can make a major difference downstream.
  23. bigtenfan
    Big difference in the initial NHC projected track of the wave about to come off of Africa. It looks to have gone from a potential Caribbean cruiser to a potential fish storm.

    No complaints from this Palm Beach County homeowner

    It is not just TC genesis that the models are having trouble with. I think that their accuracy on winter storms has declined as well. Long range forecasting while never great has almost gone totally off the rails. If i had to take a guess I would say that the models are not yet skilled enough to properly handle the pace of global warming. Many of the analogs that are being used are based on a cooler planet overall than we have now.
