Of course he did. This only fuels his massive ego. I may make a map just because later today after 12Z and 18Z.JB said he had this strength at this time at cat 5 last week! He's the man!
But on a serious tip, don't see how some parts of Florida avoid getting destroyed!
Breezy maybe gusty, tons of rain and depending on exact track probably tornadoesWhat would option B mean for SC?
Absolutely ...Is it ok if I share a call map of my own? I don't want to come off as trying to hijack this thread. lol
Go ahead! Uploading mine in a few minutes.Is it ok if I share a call map of my own? I don't want to come off as trying to hijack this thread. lol
That's what the thread is here for. Go for it!Is it ok if I share a call map of my own? I don't want to come off as trying to hijack this thread. lol
FS - Nice call but I take issue with the 1 over near Gainesville - the Gators suck this year ... LOLHere is my first call for this storm. Again, this is just my map. Use NHC forecasts over this.
Basically, I fell the GFS is a bit too far east and may be overdoing its size, but not its intensity. I believe the HMON is doing great, and therefore have adapted it into my call map. The GEFS and EPS also seem to be relatively similar, but different than their strange OP runs. I expect this thing to deliver a very powerful blow to South Florida, so it's likely a good thing they are evacuating tomorrow. The red indicates the furthest out away from the path I think Irma could go based off of all the models, and the cone indicates the idea I have. If you can't read the numbers, I expect Irma to stay a 5 until the Dominican Republic area, then if it doesn't weaken much, stay one until landfall. If something weakens it, be it ERC or land interaction, I expect it to weaken between a 4 and 5. However, I expect it to restrengthen right before landfall as the waters between Florida and the Bahamas are just rocket fuel to the storm. I even feel that if it is right in the middle between the two, it could beat its winds it has right now. We just have to keep watching it and I may make another call once it passes Hispaniola.
LOL. I'm hoping it busts too for all of our sakes. If it doesn't, at least you would be on the weaker side of the storm. However, a hurricane is a hurricane, so it can do damage no matter what.FS - Nice call but I take issue with the 1 over near Gainesville - the Gators suck this year ... LOL
PS - Please take this as intended - I hope you bust!
Here is map call #2
I am going to wait until tonight to make a revision, as we should know then whether Irma will strike PR or go north.^Given the ongoing uncertainty beyond 72hrs I think that's a great call map. I'm going to revise mine sometime later today. I knew I should have waited until today after the 00z model guidance to post the first one, I should have known the 00z models were going to screw me over. lol It was based on the Euro/UK being so far west and the GFS far east and taking a middle of the road approach.
