So much for the slow start to the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season!
I don't know what to make of Chris. I think the intensity forecast is too low, but the track forecast is troublesome. If this thing gets into the GOM, I do think it'll turn north at some point... tend to favor the Mobile-to-Texas range, simply because I don't want it myself!
Did the misprint something in the 530pm AST Special Advisory? It says the intermediate advisory will be issued at 730pm AST, and the next full advisory at 1030pmAST. Each of those times would be 30 minutes before the normal times (8pm EDT/AST and 11pm EDT/AST), wouldn't they?

Who said anything about ruling out Florida? The man asked for people's thoughts and that's what I gave him. I do not think this will be a mainland Florida event, I say it again. South Florida is still very much under the gun though and will likely feel effects from Chris even if he completely misses.
Does that mean that the people in Florida don't need to worry about it? Of course NOT!

I certainly didn't say anything about ruling out Florida, and don't think anyone did. I don't expect landfall along the peninsula, but the effects will be felt.
Please use PM's for things like this...

The forcast track will most likely go back and forth(north and south) several times before all is said and done.It maybe a couple of days before they have a better handle on things,although the new data from recon will help.As they say,if you are in the cone pay attention to what Chris is up to.NHC is now calling for a cat 1 in 72 hours,But the way this storm has been acting don't be surprised if we have one tommorow.It is never a good thing when a storm gets stronger under adverse conditions,so expect the unexpected.

where are you seeing debby forming at?? also up the east coast of florida?? i don't see that even if the upper level low does diminish and pull to the north some. i think the track maybe a little to the north but even so i still think it will make it to the gulf.. then when will the northern turn occur... we will see if all the other models are still south of what is saying.. btw it appears it maybe increasing in size a little also. the gulf temps are high which would favor increase in strength

HF...is it just me, or is it rather rare to have an initial intensity forecast (yesterday, with Chris) that could eventually prove to be this far off? Or I am I missing an environmental element that will weaken Chris along its projected path? I have been tracking and watching for years, and it just seems to me that the initial intensity forecast on this one was extremely conservative. Can you give us a rundown of why the was not expecting strengthening, and why that may be incorrect? Also, its tough to tell with the moving over the center now, but I see a slight jog to the north the last few frames.
Thanks and hello all.

That's a good question. I have been looking at that intensity forecast and saying to myself that it is too low.

It will be an interesting couple of days here is S. FL. As most down here are thinking about Cuba and good'ole Fidel. Our attention will quickly turn to our east by Friday as we watch the approach of Chris. From Fidel to Chris, Channel 7 will have a field day with these news items!

i dont expect any good real model data unitl the G-IV gets airborne.... i see Recon Plan of Day **REMARKS: MISSIONS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR SUSPECT AREA OFF THE CAROLINA COAST AND G-IV MISSION ON T.S CHRIS CANCELED BY AT 01/1100Z. for the 02/0000 utc flight ... the next one is on the 03/0000utc... the track depends one whats around it the system...the best way to get data.... would to be to fly the G-IV. (41-45k feet) around the system.... However i do think a GOM entrance is getting more likely by the hour.... i note the the waters are shallower ahead of the short term..... if it can beat the shear a hurricane i think is not out of the question in the next few days. I see that the convection is back over the center tonight....
also noted the latest sat... CHRIS is looking much better than a few hours ago... the channel outflow looks good, and the is looking good in all direction. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/vis.jpg
latest recon... 52kts inbound and 59kts outbound at flight level

Out in the atlantic lots of models showing a hurricane developing. Track is very uncertain at this point. wants a Cat. 2 or 3 by the end of next week.

At 6:50PM Dr. Lyons said he didn't see it as a South Florida event (main land). He said that it was a small storm at this time.
Though it is strange, I live in Delray Beach and one of my neighbors put her shutters up today (no, I'm not kidding).
I know we're talking about intensity, but what do people think of size?

ok so what is that in mph? do u have a converter?
52 knots = 60 mph, 59 knots = about 68 mph. Lets refrain from one liners and use the PM feature...

Well Doc Lyons also did not see Chris with 60mph at 5:00 today.This storm will not travel on that skinny black line.All of Florida needs to watch this close.Does size matter?,I will leave that one alone.NL here you go: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/srh/cwwd/msd/publicmarine/misc/windconv.htm

hmm... maybe my eyes... its hard to tell.. but is chris slowing down and maybe a slight movement to the west?.... CHRIS is getting stronger... i have no doubt... Cloud tops are very cold (-80 to -75) . Center is under convection now

I believe we will have a Hurricane by the 10:30 advisory which the 7:30 did not come yet. So we'll see what happens. It does look like that Chris is strengthening and moving more westward. So what will happen? Clearly nobody knows at this point.

Let's try and nip this in the bud.It will jog a little to the west and it will jog a little to the north.They all wooble.This only becomes important when it is very close to the U.S. mainland or when it becomes a trend.

the upper low near the bahamas.. is backing up already. this is not good.
i'm not trying to be alarmist, but i wouldn't be surprised to see a hurricane tomorrow, and a major hurricane within the next three days.
nhc is going to crank their intensity forecast way up at 11, i'd expect. that's a no-brainer.
the official takes it below south florida... through the strait. if you live in south florida start get your game plan figured out.
the 00Z runs ought to shed some light on whether those tracks to the left are kosher. i'm not sure what the stronger initial storm will result in, but my hunch is the track will shift back to the right a tad.

Just in after horribly busy day at work. Haven't had a chance to check everything out, but I'd guess the winds are now catching up. After momentarily getting sidetracked by last night's forecast, I'm back to being bullish on this one.
* * * * * *
Ok -- what's the scoop with the change in the thermal differential? It was a very impressive 6 deg, now back down to 2?
prolly just a temporary gradient from the convective burst earlier. just a guess. -HF

Let's just say Chris might possibly get into the Gulf. What day are we looking at down the road for a possible landfall? I know there are a lot
of ifs with this storm but just in case, are we looking at Tuesday or Wednesday or earlier?

HF...it was my understanding the upper low in the Bahamas had already begun to move west...when you say "back up", do you mean something different, or is it just more dramatic now? Also, are you using the water vapor loop, or a different image to make that observation? Bob, I agree on the wobbles...but I am noticing a bit of a slow-down. Is it visible image trickery because night has fallen? It is hard to see the center under the ...
