NJwx85 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 And that's a massive ridge now over the entire Eastern US. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up going towards Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 So at D5 lead time we have another significant shift south with the GFS with Irma tracking between Cuba and the Bahamas. This now places it on the south side of the ECMWF/UKMET blend whereas before it was on the north side. The Atlantic ridge is stronger and the trough is more progressive. Irma is still interacting with it, but not as much. 0Z GFS is south of the 18Z GEFS mean at D5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 With today's runs, OTS is looking less, and less likely! Euro should be fun in a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandofLincoln Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I noticed pretty quick that the trough was on pace to get out of there faster, and I was wondering how that was going to impact things. Guess I'm getting the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaWx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Well I think at this point we have to keep waiting, wonder what the Euro will show tonight. Scary if this thing even gets remotely close to TX or NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAwx Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You'd think the core would decay more with all that time over Cuba. Some good elevation near the middle of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 As for the hard turn, a big system like this isn't going to make that hard of a turn, it would be a bit more gradual unless it stalls out. Going west to north in 6 hours in weak steering currents is probably not likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely touched Cuba this run and if the core stays offshore it won't matter much for a cat 4-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
