I agree, Lois. The and did a horrble job with : they underdid the strength and position of the High and it looks to me as if they are doing it again with Jeanne. If I remember correctly,the UKMET and the pretty much nailed it.
Chief Met Tom Terry from Channel 9 in Orlando just said that if he had to place a dollar on which models to use, he would put his money on the UKMET and because the /GFDL do not do well with upper air environments. Why the puts so much credence in these two models baffles me, when UKMET and have been pretty consistent run to run. Go figure.
Also....as you said, what we see with our own eyes is more informative than what the models "project". At least when we're looking with our own eyes, what we see is what we get.
And I think we are getting Jeanne.
Just heard that mandatory evacuations for the barrier islands and manufactured/mobile homes in Brevard County will begin at 6:00am tomorrow morning. Also a curfew (didn't get the times) will begin tomorrow and alcohol sales will be stopped tomorrow also.
Here we go again.

Yes. The part that moves over Florida in the loop.

calm.. joking around a bit, discussion of what everyone is going to do depending on varous situations
either everyone is in denial, doesnt read discussion only advisories..waits for bryan at 5 or has a good handle on how to handle a hurricane threat
then again.. we are in the bottom of the cone and no one has a hurricane warning
are we all on top of it or is ignorance bliss?

NEw path was on Channel 6 here. landfall 6 amish in melbourne florida. Ugh I am only 45 miles from there. EOC's are opening here and there. But these people seem to be very weary of these storms. State of Emerrgencies go in effect 12:01 am saturday and they inacted a curfew in brevard county. Stay tuned were gonna get another battering.

One question, Why doesn't the TPC site show Melbourne as one of its probabilities? They have Cocoa Beach then Fort Pierce. Thats a pretty good driving distance. :?:

Thanks, Lois. I'm trying to learn how to read these maps and interpret them properly.

Yeah many including Accuweather are forecasting to reemmerge into the Gulf on Monday and then go NE towards the same area he originally hit. Amazing storm. Focus is though and should be on Jeanne. I am starting to get concerned about a path across FL into the Gulf again.

Well the likes the model, which is basically a run off of the data. has come more inline again the the WNW-NW track with the . makes landfall just N of WPB across to Tampa, landfall near Melbourne across to 25 miles N of Tampa. Both moving more wnw then NW nearing the west coast. is still the same oddly enough so it cant be complety ruled out. I was hoping the 12Z would be nudged alittle more w but it didnt. Also remember the ETA is across the state too with the and . I havent seen the Ukmet yet or the . I would be the is kinda close to the sinceI like I said it holds the data. Ukmet would be the weigh in.

The HIRT (Hurricane Intercept Research Team) are heading down to Florida today...these are the guys who parked their Isuzu a little too close to the coast during ...BTW, they're selling the destroyed vehicle on E-Bay, proceeds going to victims of ...nice touch.
So if you see the HIRT truck parked on a beach near you...
BTW, any news of where they're sending Mr. Cantore...yesterday Frank P. posted a link to an outstanding article on the man...brought me to tears...I will find it and repost it on this thread shortly...if you didn't have the utmost respect for Mr. Cantore before reading the article, you will after reading it.

To the poster who was wondering how many times one state has been hit, I just found this in an article on msn.com
"The only other time four hurricanes have been known to hit the same state in one season was in Texas in 1886, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield said."

<Grin> What you say is very true....except: In this case, ignorance is NOT bliss, it is dangerous. That aside, a) I still invite you to register, you'd be an even greater asset, and b) we'd have a 'technical Colleen' on board

Yes, the models have had numerous difficulties forecasting the strength and movement of the ridges this year. I remember watching the ridging to the north of building in very far south, farther than any of the models had it at that time, and thinking to myself that it probably wasn't going to take that NW/N turn until quite a bit later. The same was true with . The ridge built in further south quicker than a lot of the models had anticipated and she never made it north of the Ft. Pierce area. It's definitely something that needs to be taken into consideration and watched closely. My other thought was with regard to the sharp north turn they have Jeanne making upon landfall. I could see that if there was a strong trough present, ala , to pull her north then northeast. However, the ridge isn't really a square so once she reaches the "corner" she won't head due north. Instead she "feels" her way along the side of the ridge which is rounded, making her path more of an arc. However, like many have said it's best to not connect the dots so to speak, and to realize it's more of a cone than a straight line.

If it's going to make landfall in Melbourne at 6:00 a.m.'ish (42 hours from now) then Jeanne needs to kick in her afterburners soon. She's 520 miles from Melbourne and travelling at 9 mph. So, unless she speeds up to 13 mph, Jeanne will still be 140 miles out to sea at 6:00 a.m. Sunday...
Waiting for that acceleration now, which will speed her on the way... if it does so, then it increases the liklihood of making it across the peninsula and into the GOM.

im bobbistorm.. loiscane.. i use lois during the day for strange reasons
personal joke between me and someone
thanks...
and btw..that is BY THE WAY i have no real problem with the long term movement of Jeanne by the .. only short term because as the high builds in with it.. it is moving faster and I think we are running out of short term
got my drift?
thanks. bobbi
phil..repost or tell where to find the link
and you are right.. he is an incredible man on many levels (knows the wv too)
