Um...then something's very f---ed up. When I click the "attachment" the funny one comes up.

Anyway, you pose a fair question...since the cone is so wide, I'm not sure where they think it will go, and why the middle arrow is not midway between the two outer arrows is very strange. Perhaps they feel Jeanne will get picked up by a trof (lets hope so) and never make a US threat, so that's why they trend the right arrow so far north.

You sure about that comedy forum post...maybe someone else can tell me which attachment is in the comedy forum...thanks.

I think you mean what, anyway they just want to show the area it could possiblily go, hurricanes don't usually stay in the dead center of the cone. So there trying to cover themselves.

Maybe so, but I guess I've always thought dead center in the cone was the most likely spot and the cone was just extended out any equal number of mile to the right and left of that point.

I just watched it....there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW that Ed Rappaport said that he hasn't said all day. Yeah, he kinda pointed a little more to the east as a possible landfall (not much) but he said it could be off 60-75 miles and that would make a huge difference as far as the affects to the north and east of the ACTUAL landfall point.
Sheppard Smith made it sound like something was gonna swoop down and kick it straight into N.O. I hate when he does that...
FWIW, having been that it's stayed on that NNW/sometimes N course almost all day, I would think we might see a very, tiny, eensy-teensy, wee shift of the track to the..........right?
With my record, it'll go west. I am 0-5 in these path changes. Maybe I should say to the west, and I'd be correct. I'll figure it out before hurricane season is over.

Also....are they talking about a slowdown w/Ivan AFTER landfall or BEFORE? Please tell me it's not before...not that after would be any better. Just didn't catch that slowdown thing. Thanks!

Well in South Fla we are getting some wind from Ivan. He's actually making it quite nice around here. I'm taking my kids to go fly a kite now. Whats that old saying? "There's no great loss without some small gain" The kids do deserve a break from all the drama.

The Cone [Re: Ed in Va]
      #27190 - Tue Sep 14 2004 03:39 PM

The "cone" is given as a general idea of where it could go, with the middle line being the most likely to get landfall. The margin of error is what is on either side of the cone; the closer it gets to landfall, the smaller that cone will shrink.
Hope that helps.

Phil posted this link earlier which allows you to click on the forecast position and compare it against the actual track. Great site!
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/float-vis-loop.html

For what it's worth, looks like Ivan will past just to the east of the next projection. Of course, one wobble could bring it back.

Make sure you click on "forecast points" though. Also, be interesting to see if it's still a CAT IV at the next point, as it's predicted to be a three...hmmmm

As big as Ivan is, and as below sea level, it doesn't have to be a direct hit to do a whole lot of damage there.

My thoughts are with those in the Gulf.... i hope Ivan does not take anymore lives. He has devastated the Caribbean... now we here in Miami focus our attention south east to Jeanne.

nice work, you beat me too it.....looks like it is going through a rapid burst of deepening, for however long it lasts......I think the last vortex message was only a couple of hours ago.

And to my admittedly untrained eye, Ivan doesn't look like it's getting weaker. It will be interesting to see if it's a 3 or 4 at the next marker.

the pressure is still in the threshhold for a 4, and based on sat. presentation, it looks like it is getting a little better organized. I doubt it will be a 3 there.

Okay, I got the info on the slow-down. It's AFTER it makes LANDFALL, near the border of GA/TN. Not good news for them.
Now, they keep showing this storm (at least on FNC) moving in a NW direction, which is obviously different from what we are seeing (NNW) and hitting in between eastern LA and Mobile.
I have to say that if this NNW/N (at times) trend continues, how can they NOT shift the track to the right at some point in time? Or are they on the line of thinking that it will move back to the NW somewhere down the line?
I realize I'm beating a dead horse here; it's just confusing.
