Hurricane Maria

Seems the key to most of these runs is roughly HR 84 through 156, they all have a NW movement after that, but they get so far east Maria cant get back enough to hit....that motion is all because of Jose beats down the WAR enough to let her get out before he dies and the WAR builds back in...things to look for in the short term is Maria more west than forecast down where she is now as that would lessen the time and ability of Jose's weakness to influence her etc....still as of right now I would say her chances of getting NC are probably 35-40% at best...but it wouldnt surprise me at all to see that trend up the next 2-3 days.

Headed to OBX Saturday staying next week, But don't look to good at the moment????? Even if not a direct hit, it looks to pass way to close for where I was going....

I'm headed there Saturday as well, Frosty! I'm not going anywhere once I get there unless she freakishly re-strengthens to a Cat 3+. It will probably just be showery, windy, wave-y, rip current-y. The usual.

All models and ensembles keep her offshore but it just seems hard to buy into given all these high pressure systems steering her towards land.

Yeah, I'm afraid it will keep trending west in coming days? I'm going as far North 12 as you can go then hit the sand and drive 10 miles on the beach to get to the house. 1 mile south of Va. boarder..4x4 area

Sounds like a good time! I'll be in Kill Devil Hills fishing off the piers between there and Rodanthe.

Worse case scenario, I'll just stay inland for a night then go back the next day. Doesn't look like any more than 24 hours max of the rough stuff either way. I'm really hoping she stays OTS though!

Euro has members that are fairly far west Our forecast has bigger window west as I suspect there will be a w shift this weekend https://t.co/LodOj2hVyn

I live in SE VA and was thinking of heading down to the OBX, depending on the severity and proximity. 

Nice area you're in. Like 10 miles from me as crow flies, but 100 miles to drive it.

Hard to see the models being wrong enough 60-72 hrs out to get Maria more west, that turn N to NE at hr 60 on the 00Z GFS is what needs to trend west to make her a threat.....though its starting to look pretty safe that she wont get any closer than 150 or so miles to Hatteras....which means basically a non event outside big waves....

Looks like the writing is on the wall with this one... there is no global models or hurricane models that shows anything close to an east coast landfall. .. yes they shifted west only to correct to the east... You all can fuss about it being 6 days out but we are 6 days out not 10 anymore.... About time to close this chapter unless we start to get some big shifts to the west which alot of things are leaning against that happening...

We will know if the models have the ridge under done or Jose influence over done tonight into tomorrow....all the models have Maria going pretty much north by 72W....she never gets any further west than that really, so if she gets further west than 72W then you gotta think the models may have misread the WAR/Jose...I haven't seen the Euro ENS but the GFS is tightly clustered well offshore and the CMC has quite a few west of the mean including a few NC hits....still its hard to see a way the models have it this wrong in the 2-3 day range.....

Wishful thinking at this point... even if the storm took the left side of the nhc track it still wouldn't be close for a landfall.... the I don't think we are looking to much at the ridge as we are the trough moving through and the upper low in the southwest.. the trough has been trending flatter and the upper low has been tending to stay further west keeping any of these features of grabbing maria to pull her inland.. the war will not be able to build to push her far enough west we need assistance from the cutoff and the trough which seems highly unlikely. .

I agree its highly unlikely the models have it wrong, that doesnt mean however that the models cant be way off, just look back at Matthew last year and the big loop the models had him taking off the SE coast that never happened even though the NHC had it as the track for DAYS...sometimes models get something wrong and lock in on it and dont correct till the last minute. I dont think that is the case here but if the models are wrong and start to correct I would expect to see it tonight into tomorrow since that would be when Jose is about as far east as he is gonna go....anyone got the 00Z Euro ens plots....

Passing along Info:

 

Harvey:  Cat 1 to Cat 4 in 24 hours
Irma:  Cat 3 to Cat 5 in 24 hours
Jose:  Cat 1 to Cat 4 in 24 hours
Maria:  Cat 1 to Cat 4 in 12 hours, and Cat 1 to Cat 5 in 15 hours

Most of the rapid intensification records for major Atlantic hurricanes were set by 2005’s phenomenal Hurricane Wilma. However, Maria has tied Wilma for the fastest vault from tropical depression to Cat 5 hurricane (54 hours), as shown in Figure 5 above.
