18z GFS coming on shore in LA as a weak area of Low Pressure!!
Huh??? The gfs hasn't even finished yet18Z GFS ensembles clustered around Mobile
from what, 12Z? how did you get the 18Z ensembles so fast18Z GFS ensembles clustered around Mobile
It's amazing how the GFS and Euro and their ensembles are worlds apart . We are talking landfall Saturday .......
water vapor strongly suggests such a surface low, fwiw ... thanks, Larry!As I assume you've noticed, the key is that the gfs is developing a surface low from the system now near the FL Straits and the Euro isn't. This leads to a weaker system hitting LA instead of a stronger storm further east. Who is right? Some people think a low is forming. Others don't. But if it does form, it may ultimately save the NE GOM coast from a big hit kind of like when Jose saved the SE US from Maria,
WowUh, yeah....this is not good...at least it's just one run so far.
I say between all modles, MS/Al has best shot, as of now.HWRF just shifted way west to Central Louisiana was east of New Orleans at 12z
Crazy the spread on the models considering it's really not too far off
IMO it is due to the fact that Nate has not really started a motion/vector for the models to get a grasp on. Hence they are all going their various "paths".. A thought with this is to see how each model derives their solutions and compare.Crazy the spread on the models considering it's really not too far off
Precisely ... and having posted that so many times this year, it's great to see someone else on board! ...IMO it is due to the fact that Nate has not really started a motion/vector for the models to get a grasp on.
