Tracking hurricane Joaquin OTS

Recommended Posts

New NHC track takes it up Chesapeake Bay. Surprised

Just because of the Euro... The NHC is saying right now it will hit the Carolinas

 

Given the shift in

the non-ECMWF models, a major westward adjustment has been made to

the forecast track at 96 and 120 hours, bringing the center of

Joaquin near or over portions of the mid-Atlantic states. Due to

the use of the ECMWF in the consensus models, the new track lies

near the various consensus models. However, it lies well to the

east of the GFS and the other similar models. The NOAA G-IV jet is

currently flying a synoptic surveillance mission, which, along with

special rawinsonde launches, hopefully will reduce the spread of the

guidance.

Has anyone ever seen this? I just stumbled on it... its live tracking of NOAA surveillance flight data...

Yes - here's another that adds non-flying a/c and some NASA environmental flights -

What do you think about the track of Joaquin should it make landfall? A lot has been made in this thread about landfall location, but just as important to sensible impacts IMO is the heading Joaquin takes once inland. A due west into NC isn't nearly as damaging I think as a outer banks scrape and wnw track through VA.

 

Well for you guys you probably want a track into VA and not too far south of DC to put you on the right hand side. Wind field probably expands too. But this is all very hypothetical...lol. I certainly would not predict that.
