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

Quote:

Call it a gut feeling or whatever. I don't think she gets west of Pensacola. I think she meanders enough before she starts north that the NE curve will catch her and put her between Pensacola and PC. Any mets care to weigh in. Jason?? Clark??



Bite your tongue! *I* am midway between Pensacola and PC!!!

Having said that... you may very well be right. Looking at the sat. and wv loops it looks like that's a line just NW of Katrina - feeder band, or whatever... that has been growing steadily over the last several hours, in addition to the "trough" to the storm's west. the line north of the storm may get sucked in and cause a northward component? I dunno, but it seems feasible to my thinking.
