The news after the latest GFS upgrade was that it did well with the tropics but had a bias twds showing convective feedback. This was an issue that it had many moons ago. They fixed it somewhat with later updates, but it is back now. They said they will fix the feedback issue with a future update, but overall, with the new update just issued, it has seemed to have some good reliability with TC. The NHC seems to still want to split the GFS/Euro for their forecast prefs. I think this is a good move. The Euro has had some bad moments at times, but combined with the new GFS, it lends to a good blend for a forecast.

The GOM water temps are so warm Isaac would strengthening all the way to the coast .

I for one am hoping Isaac finds its way into the gulf , dont need it up the east coast

If anything, hope for it to make landfall on the east coast of Florida. We dont need gas prices to shoot up to $5+ a gallon because of a threat to the refineries in the gulf.

This is a great post. If the storm does indeed hit the gulf, gas prices will inflate. It's already high at $4.05 a gallon.

Either way a major hurricane will develop and its going to be a bad day for someone next week .

Yup. Looks very likely a landfalling hurricane will occur for the United States (except euro).

The spread, with the euro included, is still east coast of Florida to the Texas/Mexico border.

I'm sure by tomorrow, the spread will lessen dramatically.

Cuba and Hispanola has the chance of taking this storm to the shredder.

I for one agree with this post in that exposed to cuba and hispanola it would most likely weaken drastically and hinder its restrengthening once it gets into the GOF. We've seen it before where some tropical cyclones after prolonged land interaction they have a very difficult time strengthening there after.

It's not a given or likelyhood Issac will become a major hurricane. Most models take near over Cuba and Hispanola first.

Tons of warm water in front of this .Nothing in life is a given , except death . " when this system exits it point

of making its turn north " it goin back into very warm water where conditons are really favorable for big time developement

I am in the camp that this is a major hurricane come early next week .

12z Nam at 81 hours. Much further northeast than the GFS and the Euro. Also further north and east of the previous run. Bahamas incoming on this run.

The NAM doesn't track these deep tropical systems very well. The further north you go, the better the NAM seems to get.
