Which ever coast it decides to go up, if it does, looks like I'll see some rain, lol.

Hey, Larry, has a biggie ever hit Sav head on? I don't recall a 4 or 5, but I sort of remember a 3 at least side swiping some time back there.

Why I was wondering does it just stay on a N/NW course maybe and the true N doesn't materialize thus it does get into the gulf and stay... So many questions with little answers...

Going right to the source (you!).
Been looking in as I can but work is 110% this way so no time to get into the weeds today (folks wanting stuff done just in case we're out of commission next week).
So 2 quick questions: 1) When was last recon, and 2) Was it soon enough that the 18Z suites will have the benefit of it?
Thanks!
Best,
Phil
 
I don't get why so many runs show these things just circling around. For so many years we've had upper winds that ruled...can't get a winter storm to slow down, and even with a front coming down the Gfs at least wants slow them down and wander them around. Not enough systems over us to create gravity for some reason. T

Me and you just need a nice big sleet storm to mellow things out Lol!!
 
I feel like I have seen this before at some point in my life. I remember a storm, it may have been Katrina, but it may not have been. The models had been leaving the GOM pretty much out of the game and then once the storm got closer, all models showed that trend to the west and it brought the gulf into the game in a large way. I am not nearly as smart as anyone on here, but I enjoy following the models, and I know that when it comes to a tropical system, that pretty drastic swings to the east or west can easily happen until we get really close to landfall. Those spreads posted above need to keep everyone from the east coast to Texas watching carefully. Man, that is one intense looking cane.

Well, I'm just remembering td Alberto back in the early 70's. That thing was bringing coffins up out of the ground. I never saw so much rain. You needed scuba to stand outside :) I like rain, but 18 inches in a few day...nahh... but I'd die a happy man if I could see 18 inches of sleet, lol.
