MDstorm Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I feel like a stunned squirrel lying in the street after being hit by a car. I'm waiting for the Euro to go east and put me out of my misery. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The rapidly intensifying Irene that's already cut a destructive path through the Caribbean is the first hurricane to seriously threaten the U.S. in almost three years, Is RI really occuring right now?

Bob Chill Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Doesn't the GFS have a hard time with hurricanes? I remember someone explaining it once. Something about slight variations of intensity and speed cause fairly large shifts in the track 3-4 days out and the GFS doesn't do well with tropical systems. I guess this can obviously be said about all models. I may be totally out to lunch on this. Either way, I can't get all excited or bummed with model runs until we are under 3 days.

WxUSAF Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Euro gives us all lots more rain and higher winds than GFS. Don't have every time step on Wunderground, but at 18z Sunday, Irene is over Georgetown, DE. Giving the I-95 corridor ~30mph sustained winds. Heavy rain arrives after 6z Sunday. Probably 3"+ for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 the euro went east.. as it continues to do. let's not pay too much attention to details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The consensus between the models is improving, however. The difference in storm center location when it reaches our neighborhood is pretty small (~50-75mi) between the Euro and GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
