The 12Z GEFS has the highest agreement yet by far with a track going up the FL peninsula and then just inland or near the SE coast.

I'm not sure they agree when it'll turn however.

 

[BirdManDoomW]

I think my original fear is starting to become true. You want to see a Hugo like path 5-10 days out so it will change and miss. We didn’t get that. I’m concerned it’s going to trend into a major flood for NC as the time runs out. I know there isn’t any meteorological connection but it seems you want to be in the bullseye 10 days out for it to miss. Winter and hurricanes. The models just aren’t good in the extended and the opposite seems to happen quiet a lot.

Dorian is now a major hurricane.

It will def. turn at some point over Florida. Does it ride up 95? or does it ride up 75? or west of there. The next 48 hours will be telling on if it can keep up its speed as it turns more WNW or W

Major Hurricane Dorian!

I'm not sure they agree when it'll turn however.

Of course as some still go into the NE Gulf , but for an ensemble run this many days out, the agreement is just about as high as you're going to get.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Euro is a lot weaker, and initialized wayyyyy to weak. Take with grain of salt plz.

Euro is a lot weaker, and initialized wayyyyy to weak. Take with grain of salt plz.

I'm taking this weakness with the same grain of salt as I do when I see the extremely strong HWRF runs.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Dorian is already stronger now than the Euro has it getting in its entirety. That is a colossal miscue.

12Z Euro almost stalling offshore FL. Is this going to even get onshore?

 

[ForsythSnow]

I'm taking this weakness with the same grain of salt as I do when I see the extremely strong HWRF runs.

Only reason I'm going to say that the HWRF and HMON aren't that far off is because the environment is going to become only better within 24 hours, and that numerous ERCs can produce a monster if given enough energy and time, which this has both. We are 3 to 4 days from landfall, and 3 from land interaction. It's a cat 3 now, and will probably be a 4 by tomorrow sometime if another ERC takes place today and it can ramp up fast. I'm worried about a HWRF solution though in terms of path. That shot up Florida is a recipe for inland wind threats at the size it would be.

12 Euro stalling 75 miles offshore FL!

12Z Euro almost stalling offshore FL. Is this going to even get onshore?

Not surprised, the trough is a little more pronounced this run, already feeling the effects

Fact: Average speed of all tropical cyclones over water in the Atlantic has decreased by 10% since 1949. And 20% when over land. - Dr. Masters

 

[GaWx]

It moved only 60 miles during the 24 hours from hour 72 to 96.

Doc No, hitting the breaks at hour 96 moving west near the coast
