Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Looking at how a few models have performed over past 48 hours. Looked at Euro/GFS/UK runs from 2 days for Dorians current position.

Quickly looked at the ICON/CMC/GFS-L and they weren't very good.


GFS north of Dorian. HWRF had similar position as GFS.

Euro south of Dorian:

UK looks spot on.

Don’t forget the UK runs into the Gulf several days out in forecast time that were then well west of the consensus that was over or just east of FL. Then after runs like that, it suddenly came way back east to join the consensus.

They all did in the extended. There probably is some bias with the UK after day 3-4 that contributed to that. But it’s doing fairly good inside hour 60.

The Euro has done an awful job with Dorian over the past couple of days and that’s inside hour 60.

The euro also had multiple gulf runs as well

Yeah it started the garbage of going way OTS and was last to come back from it. As mentioned it screwed up on Florence last year, so it only seems to be continuing missing big storms.
 
Concern now that the projected stall has occured is how far NW does it get towards Florida and SC and does it skirt the capes of NC or does it move on a floyd type track. Angle of approach to NC has some pretty big impacts. If its NNE across the inner banks versus ENE just along the capes changes weather for the piedmont and coastal plains a lot.

Cloud tops warming, eyewall breaking down, ERC is underway while it is stalled and upwelling so this could knock him down a category or two....should hopefully stay at least 50-75 miles east of Florida, even then though some hurricane force gust and surge issues will be possible all the way up along the coast of Fl from Cape Canerval north .....then the question becomes how bad of a hit does the Carolina's take and what kind of storm will he be then....

Bumping this to show one of the far left UKMET runs into the NE Gulf before a sudden correction well to the east the very next run. Note that the UKMET 12Z run shown here (bottom map) had him south of Lake Okeech. at hour 96 moving WNW. That is pretty bad. The Euro’s 12Z run that day was the first one that had the stall near where it is now and then not hit FL at all instead of traveling up the peninsula. So, way better than the UKMET then and a great run for the Euro. The Euro’s been similar since. That’s pretty good imo.
