Timing really is a thing here. If we want an east coast hit (and I mean, we are weenies, so we do, but thinking of moderating that kills me a little bit inside), we need Maria to thread the needle (drink!). Squeeze in between the WAR and incoming trough that will kick it back out to sea.

If that trough deepens and tilts, I think it could help us.  I think one of the euro runs yesterday was close to that.

The trough placement from this 12z euro frame from yesterday and where Maria has been trending today comes close.

donsutherland1 on the main thread has been trying to balance historical tracks with current model runs and estimates there is about a 30% chance of U.S. landfall.  WxWatcher007 has it at about 25%.  So I'm going to rely on my expertise in reading posts by people who know more than me and say that there is about a 27.5% chance of U.S. landfall.  Enough to keep me tracking for a while longer at least.

This is the most scientific thing I've ever read.

Come on. You know you want to see a CAT 4+ cane lift up a 102,000 ton nuclear powered carrier from Norfolk, toss it ALL THE WAY across the LWX zone, and sit it down neatly right next to mini-map's playscape. 

I mean, when you put it that way...

Remember that the Ukie had Irma nailed well in advance

The Ukie was too far south and west with Irma.  It was just more south and west than the GFS and Euro, so as the forecast shifted to the south and west it looked like the other models were caving to the Ukie.  In the end the Euro was best by a good margin.

I believe the Ukie had Matthew nailed well in advance though.  Again by being farther to the west than the GFS and Euro.

I think he was kidding.

Oops.  I should have known that when I saw who wrote it.

Hey, only 95% of my posts are never to be taken seriously.

 

But i was partly kidding with my Ukie post.  My intent was to point out how it was closer to the truth than the GGEM which for whatever reason(and is rarely right) gets posted like there is a chance it will be right this time.  GGEM is NAM or CRAS worthy.

unless its winter and we are getting neige'd to death in mms.  Then it is valid

Based on discussions over the last couple weeks regarding the ukie, your comment seemed realistic to me.

At hr 138... GFS seems to make teh WAR go poof near Maria

Slightly weaker Jose, slightly faster Maria, still early per ecmwf

12z Euro Hour 96-120 Maria slows down and starts to turn NE,  there's a building ridge over the northeast but the incoming trof from the west is making a push east.  This may be heading OTS
