It is also possible that these changes will be relfected with the 00Z runs when they take in the data from the NOAA Jet. I am still trying to get some meteoroligical opinion on this.

Does anyone know where I can find the recon schedule for ?

Recon is tasked with a 05Z (1AM EDT) fix tonight. The second plane is enroute at this time and is over the FL Peninsula. They should be over the GOM in the next 30 minutes.
Roughly around 3 hours before a new update on the pressure and winds.

Lawgator, most of the global models take 5-6 hours to run to their completion, which is why they are only run every 6 hours and why the data is always somewhat delayed from the initialization time.

Colleen - I am glad you elaborated and wish you would have mentioned Accuweather's track earlier...i saw that too and figured they were going along with their own mets and not the . So thats what you meant when you said a shift in the models...it looks as though Accuweather is following the seeing that that model is pretty close to their projected path. I am confused though...if the two systems DO combine, then will move further south? Or if they DONT combine, will move further south?

Clark, do you think that will maintain its current its tight inner-core structure throughout its lifetime? The models seem to suggest that the size of the storm will increase as it gets near the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not sure what to expect myself... I wouldn't be surprised if it reinvents itself as a larger, less tightly wound system after the current tiny inner core inevitably breaks down at some point.

Im pretty sure she meant if they dont combine it will pull further north. Accuweather doesnt think they will combine.

Clark - i was wondering the same thing and also, get this. The run 18Z shows a higher wind speed once over the Fla peninsula than it does just before landfall in Lee County. I think the knots are 109 prior to landfall and then the model shows 121 when is crossing the state. That's weird!
Please feel free to check my numbers they may not be exact, but i do know that the wind speed was less while still over water and more once the eyewall was totally over land.

Examples of how the differences in the models.
Excerpts from the:
MODEL DIAGNOSTIC DISCUSSION
NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD
137 PM EDT TUE OCT 18 2005 (edited~danielw)
VALID OCT 18/1200 UTC THRU OCT 22/0000 UTC
...MODEL DIFFERENCES AND PREFERENCES...
......HRCN ...
THE 12Z AND UKMET SOLNS OVERALL SHOW BETTER CONTINUITY AND HAVE MORE SIMILAR TRACKS WITH THRU DAY 3. BOTH OF THESE MDLS SHOW TRACKING OFF THE WRN TIP OF CUBA AND INTO THE SERN GULF OF MEXICO BY LATE DAY 3.
THE 00Z HI-RES IS NOT TOO DIFF BUT
IS A LITTLE SLOWER. THE 12Z SOLN IS FASTER THAN THE 12Z MDL CONSENSUS BUT SHOWS A RATHER SIMILAR TRACK THRU THE SAME TIME PD OTHERWISE.
THE IS THE BIGGEST OUTLIER ONCE AGAIN WITH A TRACK WELL TO THE LEFT AND MUCH SLOWER THAN THE 12Z MDL CONSENSUS.
PLS SEE LATEST FCST DISC FOR ADDITIONAL TRACK INFORMATION AND
GUIDANCE.

I noticed that about the , however the Cat 4 winds are off the east coast of FL, not over FL. It could be the result of the inner core breaking down...though it's strange. It then maintains itself as a strong assymetrical storm heading up the east coast.
I suspect we'll get better guidence as the storm gets closer to landfall.

Sorry about that! This is what Denis Phillips said tonight:
1) If the area near the Gulf of Alaska and the area near the TX/NM border combine, then that scenario will keep further south, because it would push her further south before she could make that turn.
2) If they do NOT combine, will come further north before making the NE turn, in which case, you may be looking at a landfall a little closer (not in) to TB than the track is at right now.
That's why I think the models will move a little further north than they are right now. I just cannot see how they can catch up with each other. Today was the first time I even heard about the Gulf of Alaska feature.
Sorry for the confusion...sometimes I just get caught up and don't exactly explain everything in writing that's in my head.

Depends on how they "combine".
Two things can happen, basically....
The two lows could "merge", forming a much stronger single impulse of energy. This is the scenario that most of the global models seem to be favoring, and it would tend to drive the storm further east, thereby leading to a more southerly impact point and, once it has exited from the peninsula, reduce the risk of a "part II" event in the Northeast US.
I see this as rather unlikely, just from the relative motions of the two features, the WV imagery, and the upper level atmospheric support. I won't call it "impossible", but I'm not buying it, particularly since some of the models, most notably the 18Z , completely miss the southern feature that is obviously present at this time!
What I see as more likely is an "amplification" scenario, where the first trough gets here and sets up roughly at the MS/AL border and then the second amplifies and drives it further south and eastward, possibly even to the extent of inverting it somewhat. This would tend to promote more of a poleward as opposed to eastward motion, as there would be a more poleward "tilt" to the trough axis.
That scenario would tend to run the storm more of a NNE track than NE or ENE - that is, a more northward impact point.
SMALL changes in heading with a storm paralleling the coast make for big differences in exactly where it goes in, as we saw last year with Charlie.......

I'm not a MET, but I would think that the wind speed increase you are seeing could possibly be due to a pressure gradient interaction with the cold front in the area.
That could change some of the impacts from the wind.

So...Does anybody know how fast the trough is moving?? What about the Low in the Gulf of Alaska?? Now I know that systems speed up and slow down, but wouldn't knowing the speeds of the two answer alot of questions??

Just an interesting tidbit I noticed: 's prejected landfall point (line, not cone) is almost exactly the same as where left Florida:

Last year and Jeannie hit almost in the exact same spot (3 weeks apart). I think it was like 10 miles difference but the effects were the same.

Here's a late update to the situation from NWS Tampa,FL.
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL
910 PM EDT MON OCT 17 2005 (edited~danielw)
AS FOR ...SHE`S UNDERGOING RAPID INTENSIFICATION AS PREDICTED...
AND SPINNING SLOWLY TO THE WEST NORTHWEST ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN
CARIBBEAN.
MOST RECENT SUITE OF MODEL GUIDANCE IN REMARKABLE AGREEMENT FAVORING THE WORST IMPACTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA PENINSULA/KEYS
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
HOWEVER...IT`S FAR TOO SOON FOR ANYONE TO
LET THEIR GUARD DOWN GIVEN THAT THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF THE "PLAYERS" IN THIS EVENT...UPPER LEVEL FEATURES ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. AND BEYOND...IS STILL TO COME. SLIGHT DEVIATIONS IN TIMING AND INTENSITY OF ANY ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL DETERMINE WHERE THE MOST IMPACT WILL BE EXPERIENCED WHEN APPROACHES. STAY TUNED
