Tropical TS Elsa

This euro run is interesting. It opens up at 850 and splits with some of the energy helping fire something up just off SC and the southern end going w near Miami View attachment 86069
Some love to say they lean towards the GFS because it has been so consistent, well Euro hasn't really backed down either.... will be interesting to see how it plays out. Would be nice if it played out without all the "see I told you so" post but I digress haha

To be fair the Euro has moved left and held on to a stronger vort longer through at least the last 3 runs. But with the gfs going weaker and right you have to think we are more getting a better consensus than anything. Crazy to think the cmc might end up doing very well if you split the gfs and euro

The I told you so happens when you completely disregard the other side of things and trash the people who are on that side . It’s sad , I’ll try to hold myself if I get that chance but hey. I can’t promise :p
 
It just comes down to 2 camps. Euro weak dissipates and gfs more together. I wanna see what the EPS does. 0z had many more members in the EGOM.
I think the GFS camp is more realistic. I don’t think the Euro is that realistic.
 
Looks like the 18Z guidance wants this more in the gulf.

A gulf route would mean less island interaction .. and also remember (I forgot which storm it was) that storm in a recent season that skirted the coast of Cuba and that actually helped enhance the core? Could be an interesting analog
 
That whole going through the shredder theory was already in the minority but this thing looks more and more like its going to go into the gulf and I personally think the panhandle is at much more risk than even the west coast of Florida. Also you're seeing a lot more of the spaghetti models going over georgia and the upstate so hopefully we can get a good soaking.

If this thing manages avoid any of the higher peaks of the mountains and manages to not to ride the FL coast- Elsa could definitely become a much stronger storm. Regardless, this looks like this will be a substantial rain maker for GA and the Carolina's. Which is good news. Not so sure about the winds inland, but that could become an issue too if things tend more towards a Panhandle landfall.

If it truly has a clear path through the gulf and up towards the big bend area , then you will start seeing everybody posting the over inflated NAM winds and gusts maps for the Carolinas

The thing that I’m worried about is what happens when this trough pulls out. It looks as though the trough will allow to pull north, but then the trough pulls out and the storm should move around the periphery of the Bermuda high as it builds back in. Does the storm continue to move steadily or does it slow down a lot and increase the inland flood threat

Yeah, those maps are always way overdone. But if this thing has enough forward speed and this system doesn't weaken like some modeling suggest, we could have some issues.
