Btw....just an FYI....not sure if anyone is following Super Typhoon Noru but it just completed an explosive intensification process that saw it gain 85kts+ in the last 24 hours. Upper echelon event for intensification processes worldwide

woah that's the other RI?  I wonder if it'll make it to Cat 5

0Z UKMET significantly south of the last two full runs with it landfalling FL now well south of Tampa:

Starting to think this is coming to the coast of bama. Sucks, literally just moved here. I'm in a rental and don't have a generator so I guess I'll be towing the boat and valuables and getting out of here and praying for the best. Stay safe folks 

Seems to me the models are shifting eastward. You should be in the clear. Curious to see what king euro does.

Like people were saying before, the longer this stays weaker and disorganized the more likely it will track further south and east which also could also a stronger landfall versus the alternative quicker strengthening system that gets more west and north and weakens rapidly before landfall due to dry air and shear from incoming jet/trough.

I recall with Charley the NHC had the EXACT final Florida landfall track nailed on an early forecast days before:

 08.AL0304W.GIF

 

But then the computer models kept insisting it would move further west or ride up the coastline. So they shifted the track west.

14.AL0304W.GIF

 

The models were also insisting on fast weakening right before landfall:

MAJOR HURRICANE STRENGTH
SEEMS QUITE PROBABLE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO ON FRIDAY.
CHARLEY COULD STRENGTHEN A LITTLE MORE BETWEEN THE 12 AND 24 HOURS
TIME PERIODS...AND THEN WEAKEN SLIGHTLY BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL DUE
TO INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR AND COOLER COASTAL WATERS AROUND THE
TAMPA BAY AREA. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SHIPS
AND GFDL INTENSITY MODELS.

 

Then of course, Charley moved further east and was much stronger. Just food for thought.

Curious what recon finds in the next pass. They found a circulation way to the SE of it with no convection so assuming its an old circulation or MLC that is severely decoupled. Looks ugly on satellite still, although evidence of convection firing towards end of the loop near the center near or slightly above 15 degrees, as placed by NHC.

NHC is almost a full degree latitude off between last forecast current position and where recon is finding it.  Not shown by models, but it could hit Central America and *never* reemerge in the Atlantic Basin the way it is looking.  Assuming it is strong enough to feel the trough, Eastern Louisiana to the Panhandle seems more likely as it is already S of the NHC initial position.

The EURO shows this becoming a major hurricane, but not right away. 24 hrs from now it's still getting it's act together. That seems much more likely given how disorganized it is right now.

The GFS has this thing taking off immediately and being on it's way to Category 2 status 24 hrs from now. I'm skeptical of that.

Thus, I'm leaning towards the EURO model, atleast short term.
