jojo762 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 perhaps the saving grace of this run is how fast the storm speeds up as it makes landfall... either way, that would be a catastrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This will get picked up by the media. Remember we are in a hyper-news era with immediacy thanks to Twitter. OC mets can't simply ignore all the hype thrown there way on their social media platforms. Can you imagine what twitter would be like if we had a hurricane decade like the 50s and 60s around the mid Atlantic northeast? Also, this isn't weeks away-if there is a cat 4 possible landfall next weekend you can bet the media and local outlets will discuss this at length beginning this weekend. There's a big difference between perceptions of storms which already exist and are out there for days vs a cat 4 storm designation a few hours before landfall.

But somehow, whether in it's good range or not ... when there is some degree of model consistency, the media usually sinks its teeth in like a ravenous dog.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If you go to TropicalTidbits and check the GFS trend over the last several runs, it has Irma in the same spot over the sw Atlantic, but the pattern over North America flops all over the place.

Expand that's almost how I would take her, to a T. let's keep an eye on her, be sure she does nothing funny before Labor Day. That way at least Houston will get some time to cope with what has happened, and the east coast as well as the Canadian Maritimes won't go too nuts too early, causing an unnecessarily ruined holiday weekend. But by Labor Day and the day after, we should have a much better idea on where she wants to go. If anything, most vacationers will be headed home at that time from the coastal holiday communities at that time, which might make things easier come evacuation time.

Expect that to continue. Expand ^This. Yes the overall pattern hints at a CONUS threat. But I have seen this pattern before and yet a stronger digging jet stream more intense than modeled a week out ends up obliterating it. Key long range points from the GFS and ECMWF should merely be increased potential threat but with extreme uncertainty where that threat may pan out -- with a decent chance that pattern could still fail altogether if the jetstream isn't where it is forecast to be 5 days from now. Plus you have such a huge variance between how the ECMWF and the GFS evolve the upcoming amplified trough/ridge pattern between each model, at least the Euro has been somewhat more consistent. All I really want to focus on right now is the more immediate northern Antilles threat. In 3-4 days, we'll start getting more clarity on what region of the CONUS is dealing with this, if any region is dealt a landfall at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
