Bobbi: It's probably Hillary Andrews, she & Bob Stokes usually occupy the 10-12 time slot, although Jon Nese usually handles the trop. updates in the morning. Also, regarding sheer, I never said it wasn't encountering some shear, only that it's moving towards an area where shear is low...

So they're sending in two planes tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what they find. Wondering if the T numbers will be bumped up at the next update.

There are now four sets of models posted on Hurricane Alley. What a spread. Some take 97L into Central America, while others take it across Hispaniola to the Bahamas.

Models 1
Models 2
Models 3
Models 4

Also, if you look at this track of the storm so far, you can see the west-north-west track it's "taking".

97L Track

I realize some of these models are old, so it will be interesting to see what the updates bring.

Cheers,
