Brittany:

would someone please explain what has happened with the GFS and the EURO switching. one going more east while the GFS going further west. I live here in Louisiana and out local meteorologists have not said much about a possible landfall in La. I would also like for someone to explain to me why the GFS is trending westward. I think it has something to do w/ a ridge, but I do not urnderstand. Wouldn't TS Isaac get stronger if the trend starts moving westward which would allow more travel time over the GOM. Thanks in advance for any input.



SWAG:

EURO has had Isaac missing most of Cuba to the South.
And crossing it's 'narrows' when it did.

The GFS was riding Cuba's spine.

The EURO hasn't figured Isaac to have missed Cuba to the N.

The GFS has.
