If that next wave in the C ATL can develop enough, could it deliver a blow to the WAR significant enough to let Irma come east?

The quicker exit per the models is what's giving her more westward movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longest period on record w/ 0 EC Sept. hurricanes. 7:30 AM - 3 Sep 2017 Sure if you don't count New Jersey as east coast, many consider it New England...but still....

I know that Sandy was technically extra-tropical at landfall, but the affects were certainly similar to a strong cat 1 or cat 2 at landfall.

I am about as much as a novice at this as anyone on the board but even I know enough not to declare NC out of the woods at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 No way can you call North Carolina out, I think the GFS is nonsense at this point and would put more faith in the Euro. But both may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 All bets are off until the G-IV can get that ridge sampled imho. Link to the folks in the islands. They've been ramping up preparations for the last 48 hours. I enjoy the webmasters write ups. http://stormcarib.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Six hourly upper-air soundings will begin at 1800 UTC today over the central United States to better sample the upstream mid-latitude trough. In addition, the NOAA G-IV aircraft will begin sampling the environment around Irma this afternoon and evening, and these data will be included in tonight's 0000 UTC model runs.

OUGrad05 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Wow, just got around to pulling down the models, the GFS solution at 06Z is LOL...hard to take anything seriously when it has strong interaction with the mountains of Hispaniola and Cuba, no weakening, then bottom drops out as it cross back toward FL and remains hurricane strength all the way through GA? :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It is important to remind users that Cuba's high mountains are on the SE side, not the northern side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to remember what year it was but I remember a strong Hurricane doing a dance with all of Cuba like the GFS is showing and it came out barely a tropical storm into the gulf and never was the same again.

That's a very minor point TBH. Those mountains cause significant disruption to storms all the time and given the projected center location on the GFS there's no way they don't impact the storm. GFS shows landfall as a cat4/5 (5 judging from pressure) and stays that way 920mb as it departs. That's a ridiculous solution...I guess I could be proven wrong by the storm but I doubt it.

Buddy1987 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Boy, the last few frames on the visible really show a good outward expansion in the northeast quadrant, which has been struggling for several days. This thing looks like it is ready to take off. Interesting times coming up in the days to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 First time since 04-05 that Cuba has a shot of being impacted by a major hurricane 2 years in a row. Matthew passed over the eastern tip of Cuba last October. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2016/graphics/al14/loop_5W.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strongest storm to hit the US (Labor Day storm) took out Islamorada and tracked up through central NC. Donna took out Marathon and tracked up through E NC. It may not be a major if/when it gets here, but it can still do flooding and wind damage in NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgwx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Based on the current D5 forecast south of the Bahamas and a D2 forecast right through the heart of the Hebert box I'd say the odds of OTS have been substantially reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just starting the 9th grade in Brooklyn Tech. I remember the wide stairs going up into Fort Green Park disappearing and turning into a raging Rapids. It must have been a fast mover, by late that afternoon the sun was out and there was a magnificent rainbow stretched across the Brooklyn sky.

Jackstraw Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 In the near term the Northern islands are really in for it if the current 72 hour NHC track verifies. I don't think they've experienced a storm this strong in over 20 years, since Luis in '95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
