Tropical Hurricane Dorian

Brick Tamland said:
Instead of having a better idea of the track today, we have more uncertainty. I don't want to wish anything bad for anyone, but I am afraid if it doesn't hit south Florida and the more it stays north it will only get stronger over the open water for a landfall somewhere else.

Still too early to rule out a east coast scraper and out to sea with only minimial coastal impacts given how the s/e coast is shaped.

I know you get asked this all the time but can you put this is laymen’s terms? Does it simply mean the guidance could track more easterly than it has been previously?
Edit - Stupid me found the explanation earlier. Sorry.

I wouldn't call 4 inches devastating like you had in your death "map" with 352385723890472389704mph winds and 3957290375 miles deep ocean of rain you created. Please keep it reasonable. Here's the map.

Womp. May see more northward adjustments on upcoming model suites which puts the Carolinas & Georgia more in play. This also gives more time for Dorian to intensify and provides it a better chance to interact w/ the mid-latitude jet streak over the Carolinas around day 5 which would favor rapid intensification

A westward moving, rapidly intensifying hurricane would be devastating to that area.

It's definitely going to be a big threat to Florida if it hits and crosses into the Gulf with that speed. I still think a track like Frances could happen. Seems like it would just get in line with where it went and hit Florida with similar intensity at worst case.

Thanks. Verification would likely triple that given that odd track, upslope and strength changes before landfall. Good thing it’s far away. Right now this storm is doing a lot of GOOD as Puerto Rico is under a moderate drought and US Virgin Islands need rain too!
