Are we going to have to read your new rewrite of this same statement every run that goes ots? If so could you perhaps just reword it and post 20 times now and we can move on and not have to be reminded of your only thought every few hours.

I'm just curious...why does everyone have a problem with comments like this? I mean, we get it, you want something interesting to track, but no one should want this to hit us... I don't feel like we should shut people down just because they comment that they're glad it's trending away from the coast.

Wonder if it will get to 75 west before any north movement

If so, that is west of the NHC track.

75W was my initial benchmark.. and DTs for that matter. Still a bit east in many instances but perhaps not with this flow. Does seem late in the game to have the models missing it but I guess there are still some showing a hit so who knows for sure.

It's not that you commented, it's that you just keep repeating it.

It's definitely moved a bit west today but some of these moves are probably just wobbles. There's a convective weight to the SE at the moment so that might be helping the latest southward wobble.

I noticed earlier that the NHC forecast had it getting close to 75 but never quite there.  Sure looks from sat. that it's going to get there.

LWX afternoon AFD re Joaquin:

 

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PLEASE REFER TO NHC BULLETINS FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON TROPICAL
CYCLONE JOAQUIN AND BE AWARE THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN AND FLOODING...WINDY CONDITIONS...AND COASTAL FLOODING LATE
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW WITH REGARDS TO EVOLUTION OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
JOAQUIN AS IT EMERGES OUT OF THE CARIBBEAN AND MOVES UP/ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD. LATEST OFFICIAL TRACK FROM THE NHC IS A BIT SLOWER
AND FURTHER EAST...WITH THE CENTER OF THE NHC FORECAST TRACK STILL
WELL OFF THE SC/NC COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
PROVIDE A MULTITUDE OF SOLUTIONS...THOUGH LAST COUPLE GFS/UKMET RUNS
ARE NUDGING TOWARD THE ECMWF WITH A TRACK THAT KEEPS JOAQUIN WELL
OFF THE COAST AND THUS HAS MINIMAL IMPACTS OVER OUR AREA. 00Z GEFS
SUITE ALSO HAD 8 OF ITS 21 MEMBERS KEEP TC JOAQUIN OUT AT SEA...A
NOTABLE SHIFT FROM YESTERDAY WHEN NEARLY ALL 21 HAD LANDFALL
SOMEWHERE ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD. DESPITE THIS...OTHER GUIDANCE
INCLUDING THE GFDL...CMC...AND HWRF STILL BRING CIRCULATION ONSHORE.
HOWEVER...EVEN SOME OF THESE MODELS ARE ALSO STARTING TO SHIFT
FURTHER EAST. THE HOPE IS THAT AS JOAQUIN CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS TURN
NORTHWARD LATER TODAY THE TRACK FORECAST WILL COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT. WITH ALL THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST...WENT WITH HPC
GUIDANCE FOR NOW.

Mostly because its just banter... no different than someone simply posting "I hope it hits us... I hope I hope..."

 

There's a banter thread just for that kind of thing.  This is supposed to be model discussion... we should probably be in storm mode like winter so the banter is better moderated.  I have been watching this thread like a hawk for days but not commenting because I have nothing to add to what the smart guys are saying.

 

He's in my death pool

 

That's terrible.
