Re: Katrina's Forecast Track Shifts West, Northern Gulf Needs to Watch

From Steve Gregory's Wunderblog...

Quote:

A high level, G-IV surveillance mission is planned for this evening, and it will do a major data sampling near and around the periphery of the storm to collect more accurate atmospheric data surrounding the storm that will be used to initialize tonight's 00Z run of the models. This normally results in an improved forecast in what is normally a data sparse region. This will be a major decision point for NHC s to how far west they may or may not adjust the forecast track for Katrina.
