snowfan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Agree that portions of the obx are destined to be wiped off the map. Some portions near hatteras are no more than a few hundred yards wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be right on the NHC track right now. Based on sat imagery. I guess we will have to watch to see if the N jogs get beat out by the W jogs a bit more than progged.

Back when I was a budding weenie during the WWBB days, I would look up to him as a weather God though, ha. I think it would help if he didn't speak in border-line absolutes -- ie. The GFS solution is 100% full of crap, the Euro is the "best weather model in the word" (something he said this morning), suggesting it should be given heavy weight, etc. I guess that's just his style (though as we have seen it can burn him and others who have a similar way of forecasting)..

Kmlwx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 FWIW - based on what I'm seeing from recon it looks like the newest center fix is going to be almost due west of the previous. could just be a wobble - in fact it likely is just a wobble but who knows.

mitchnick Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 fwiw, 0Z NAM at the end of its run looks to want to bring the trough down in the nick of time to save us although extrapolating the NAM with Canes is probably about as accurate as it is for winter storms http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/nam/00/index_200_l_loop.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
