Re: Tropical Storm Harvey Forms in Atlantic

Have to agree with you canetracker. The 12Z GFS and even the CMC and the 6z GFDL are pulling it nothward for a time, but it misses the trough that Harvey drags across. It really doesn't get much further north than 22N at any point (waiting for the rest of the 12Z). tHE 6z gfdl is intersting 'cause it shows a NW turn, then a move back to the WNW at the end of the period. NOGAPS doesn't show this feature at all really. CMC 12z now shows it heading toward the tail of Harvey then stalls as a ridge builds in and seals off the trough, not allowing 95L to escape. Now if 95L misses that trough, it will have to come westward, as I believe the GFS' depiction of another trough on the east coast may be bunk, as ridging should be building near Bermuda. BTW, there wants to be another system further south than 95L that is shadowing it on the GFS. Starting to get interesting. This is the first bonifide CV system this year, August 4, 2005, in the year of our Lord. Cheers!!
