jm1220 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 2 minutes ago, Akeem the African Dream said: This track is probably a decent scenario for PBI north along the coast. By no means it is good but look at the alternatives we are facing. "Not catastrophic" still means probably 90-100mph gusts there, surge on the beaches and up to 10" rain. That will cause power to go out and tree damage, but not much major structural damage. Miami has it worse since it's further south and closer to the forecast track. This could also all be moot since the track could wobble back east to the catastrophic path just west of MIA to PBI. Still time for that to happen. And plenty of people live on the west FL coast too. So one area's relative benefit is to many's detriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasons Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 8 minutes ago, Crazy4Wx said: Completely disagree. You do not want SE FL in the RFQ. Right now that is where it sits. In terms of surge, it may not make much difference, but in terms on wind damage, it could be very significant. Would you rather be in the eyewall of a strong Cat 4 or not??

Models will ingest more data today and tomorrow and in 24hrs we maybe looking at a swing of 50 miles back east or a continued jog west. This forum is funny, you have one post..She looks to be weakening, next post says she looks to be strengthening. It's comical at times, people biases, or a bit of wishcasting wanting the storm stronger or coming their direction for some drama. Winter around here is really hilarious. In reality, all the NHC can do is put out a best guess. I was down in FL last year for Matthew. You don't really know the final track until it happens. If trends continue towards the west, it may turn out to bode well for eastern Palm Beach county ... IT MAY ... but to draw that conclusion now based on a run or two of the GFS is not pragmatic. There is a reason why the NHC uses the cone as opposed a guess as to the specific track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooralph Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 My wife and I are getting concerned for her father who lives on a canal in Port Charlotte. While it's clear they are at risk for ~ Cat 2 winds, it would seem that unless this thing swung WAY around the keys and then made a clear track up the west coast, they should not be at risk for storm surge, correct?

(And that would generally be true for other areas up the West Coast. Yeah, as long as the storm is centered S/E of them it's minor or no surge. What you don't want is it coming in from the Gulf through or North of Charlotte Harbor. Based on the NHC cone, that scenario is possible, so he should be preparing for that contingency.

NJwx85 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I wonder if the closer pass of Jose to the Southeast of Irma is helping to pump the ridge a bit over the Western Atlantic, thus mitigating some of the poleward movement in relation to the trough. Or this could all just be a typical windshield wiper over correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
