Major Hurricane Irma- STORM MODE


stormtracker

Recommended Posts

I'm just catching up on the thread and I'm surprised to see posts about the Panhandle as a possible landfall. What's the reasoning behind this? Is it being confused with the Big Bend area? NHC has some particularly strong wording in the latest discussion as follows.

The track guidance continues to be tightly
packed, and the bulk of the models take the hurricane over the
Florida Keys and near or over the Florida Peninsula. The NHC
forecast is in the middle of the guidance envelope, and given the
good agreement among models, the confidence in the track forecast is
high

I think the panhandle talk is mostly concerned with the Big Bend (Tallahassee) area specifically, yes.

18z GFS track better for Tampa than 12z Euro.  Onshore fetch as Irma departs would still bring water rushing in the Bay, but likely less impactful than Euro with west track.

As someone who lives on the bay...I would take that right now.  If Irma moves West and no further than 40 miles out, the amount of water being pushed through the bay will be historic.  My house will be underwater.

Long time lurker by the way...I love this board.

Not saying it is going to happen but the 18Z GFS is the best news us here on the west coast have got. Yes it means nothing but it is hope. I wonder which model is more on point at this time the gfs or euro.

The 18Z has it slightly more east, right?
