Nice right hook...lol. I stand corrected. Might still head for the Carolinas.

You said confidently it wasn't going to that this time.

I'm not buying what the EURO is selling. 24 hours ago it was OTS, now it's hitting the keys? That's a drastic shift.

It's not hitting the keys this run.  Any scientific reason you're not buying the Euro?

 

Everyone needs to pick up their game.  Otherwise, we do have a banter thread that no one is using .

OPs this far out are purely eyecandy, the useful info is the ensembles and how closely they are grouped between the different models, plus looking for trends as each ensemble run advances. Right now everything from the Eastern gulf to the Northeast is still on the table...only thing shrinking potential wise is ots.

It's still way too early to rule out an out to sea track. Some minor shifts in the trough over the Midwest, and a flatter ridge could make it so that Irma escapes out. Both the GFS and Euro have a pretty hard right turn from the Bahamas-its just that the GFS has a stronger ridge and the turn is NW instead of N.

Way too early to wager an educated guess on that

Yeah, despite changing operational runs the Euro remains well within the envelope of ensemble members. So no reason why 12z is any less likely than 00z last night, or 12z yesterday.

I know you know this, but it's worth stating that by definition, being closer in time to the actual event, the most recent model run, barring modeling/data errors, should always be more accurate than any previous version.  In the limit the models are very, very accurate 1 hour out, lol.

To me, the OP Euro past 120 hrs is just another ensemble member.

The big closed low off of New Foundland is a new feature from previous runs. That's throwing a wrench in any building 500mb heights to the ENE. But the mid-to-upper low over the TN Valley is still resolved. This may have resulted in a slow down to the east, stall or loop off the coast for a while beyond 240 hrs. Anyway, reiterating still a week to go.

Interesting thing is this storm seems to remain in the 9-10 day period

That system south of Newfoundland is breaking down the ridge. Wasn't on the model yesterday. Shows you how quickly things can change this far out.

That trough has so many implications and no way any of this gets solved for another 2/3 days. We're literally walking a fine line here once the storm enters the Bahamas.
