Hi everyone,

The Weather Channel may not have read the 's discussion...on the other hand they may be giving their own analysis of what they perceive to be the motion from the Sat pics, which I thought was a little WNW myself.

Another forecast betting hedges...from the NWS discussion in Wilmington, NC:
ALL OF THE GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO FORECAST FLORENCE MOVING ACROSS
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THEN CURVING AS AN UPPER TROF/SHORTWAVE MOVES
OFF THE EASTERN US COAST. IS GENERALLY FOLLOWING THIS
TRACK...BUT THEY DO MENTION THE TROF MAY NOT BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
TO PICK UP THE STORM.

Florence is now finally getting itself together. Convection is broad but that will begins to end and get closer into the center. I really dont see this trough being that strong by the time Florence gets near the USA. ANything can happen. I'd give in 2 more days then we should have a better idea on where its headed. The track is moving west right now. Right now i'm agreeing with the track. Very against the new model output. I do not believe that it will turn that quickly. Notice the same thing is happening with Florence and the upcoming storm that happened with Edwuard and Fran back in 1996. If Florence curves which I think will be between Bermuda and the USA, the possible "Gordon" could be a player for the USA. Think about it. The same thing that happened in 1996 is happening with this. Very interesting on how this plays.

Cape Verdes Islands Tropical Wave
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located several hundred miles west of the Cape Verde Islands has continued to become better organized. Environmental conditions appear somewhat favorable for a tropical depression to develop during the next couple of days as the system moves westward at about 10 mph. The wave is over warm water and is under a modest 10 knots of wind shear, and could be Tropical Depression Seven by Wednesday. Due to its more southerly starting position, this system is more likely to be a threat to land than Florence.
this one may be more worrisome but we'll see how this plays out over the next couple of days....

Can someone explain this in English?
However ...Each run has shifted the track a little farther to the west. Given that the mid- to upper-level flow is forecast to be west-southwesterly north of the ridge axis...and that a large mid-latitude trough is expected to dig into the central U.S. By day 5...the models may be overdoing the amount of shortwave energy forecast to generate the weakness in the ridge.

Ya know--Florance isnt really at that high of a latitude.
I`ve heard that a lot today... but the fact of the matter is, Flo still has plenty of potential to affect land--so if you live along the east coast, please--dont let your guard down, and keep a close eye on the progress of this system.

The National Hurricane Center in last evening's advisory pointed out that the models might erroneously be combining a weak southern trough with the stronger trough coming off the U.S. east coast early next week. The point was that the cyclone could end up not recurving as quickly as models are currently indicating.

This (edit: the cape verde wave) is the one I've had my eye on all weekend. Flo has actually surprised me getting as much attention as it has.
However, I know I'm only an educated amature at best. So when the Navy puts up an invest, I give it a good look. So right now I'm focused on 06L/Florence and to a lesser extent 91L.
As far as our current flavor of the week, Florence, here are my thoughts:
1) With the interference of 98L yesterday and 91L hanging on her heels, I believe the current batch of model runs are almost worthless.
2)The more south the coc stays, the less chance the TROF has of recurving her before at least a serious landfall scare. The current westerly movement also gives the high a little more time to build in.
3)Even though she is still feeling some shear, organization has def. improved some today.
Still way too soon for predictions or forcasts, but the east coast should be in watch and wait mode for the next 24-48 hrs.

Well I have to agree with what the is seeing.. a weak trough and if this storm grows to a cat. 3 like Tom Sorels said on News 6, This may be a storm for the Carolinas perhaps the northeast. Not going to make any predictions in this yet. Still too early. I think the is really making a wise decision and sticking south of the models who they and I believe are really overdoing the recurve to the north. Looking ok on IR. Convection is trying to get to the center. This still could turn out to be like Edwaurd back in 1996. It cliped Cape Cod with cat. 1 hurricane force winds. Fran was next which could be Gordon in this case. Again.. not saying it will happen but there is a chance. It all just needs to be watched. Very well put discussion from and track is well put together to. They really should stick with that until they know what it could do. Ciao!
