Re: New Orleans Prepares for Katrina

2327Z GFDL update is out, shows path just west of the LA coast - basically the same as the NHC last advisory. This is a SLIGHT eastward motion from the last GFDL run (statistically insignificant, but there.)

Note that the GFDL pegged the SW jog over the peninsula - it was a bit too fast with it, but it was the only model that picked it up - it seems to have a better handle on the rest of the weather map and its influence on this particular storm.....

(Edited to fix the link - the original site has some kind of problem, so I went back to the original source.)




Would a new eye location north of the original eye position change the land fall location much? I heard the weather channel say it was having a eye replacement cycle.??
