NWNC2015 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Given 100% ensemble support from the GFS and the EURO/UKMET/others in unusual agreement for development...I figured this deserves its on thread now. - - We are tracking an area of interest that moved off of Africa that will move through the far southern Caribbean...possibly hitting parts of South America...before lifting north.

yotaman Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Models are all over the place for this storm. A few days ago it was the Yucatan and Mexico then it was Florida. The latest has it splitting the uprights between Hatteras and Bermuda. I really don't think models will be accurate until it actually becomes a TS.

NWNC2015 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Bad trend on the 0z GFS its further west to the East Coast...significant waves and erosion...now some squalls for the OBX on the far western side of Matthew...New England has a greater impact now as it heads for Nova Scotia landfall.

Yeah looks like it trended further west. Massive storm as well depicted by the GFS. 18z GEFS actually has more members hitting Florida than going out to sea.

This is common for a storm that is not well developed. Far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Need a ridge over the NE not a trough. EPS looks completely different as stated above. See what GEFS shows in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 12Z GFS and CMC both fish it again, the trend it for this to turn up further east than modeled over the weekend, the weakness allows it to get moving poleward and then the strong high shoves it OTS..........the NE fetch between the low and the 1035MB high over NE ought to pound the beaches though.....12Z GFS would be rough on Bermuda....

Euro hasnt exactly been knocking it out of the park when it comes to the tropics lately....still its something to keep a eye on but this late in the year its gonna be tough to get something to turn back NW, once it starts going north in earnest. besides its too close to hunting season and its already wet enough here, last thing I need is a foot of rain and wind knocking branches and trees down in all my shooting lanes...

True...EPS sure does look ominous day 8. Cluster is south of Cuba, with ridge over the NE building into the atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncskywarn Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 This definitely bears watching and I was looking at some of the 12Z GFS model ensemble members and this one ensemble 7 caught my eye.

I didn't realize there have been some strange tracks like that in the past. I noticed those were from the 60's I moved to NC in 1970. I guess anything can and will happen .

Formed high in the central atlantic did a loop or two and made landfall as a tropical storm over the southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth a chase if the CMC is right...but it only heavily impacts the area of NC that has seen multiple tropical systems and flooding this year. Light to no impact from central NC to western NC where the drought is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I look for the EURO to handle 90 degree turns and due northerly movements best...certainly not putting all my eggs in the GFS/CMC solutions. It's going to be wild in a few days when the media/public gets their hands on euro track solutions later this week as we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The CMC approach and landfall is about worst case for the Pamlico Sound and Tar/Neuse river systems...the upside is the storm is pretty weak on the CMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 hour120 euro more south-west in the Caribbean before making any turn whatsoever...possibly bringing Jamaica into play now because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Euro is over Jamaica and then right into the most mountainous part of Cuba, then heads more NW basically over Cuba.....that would severely disrupt if not outright kill the storm especially since it just interacted with Jamaica, its also faster being well NW of the 12Z run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
