Hurricane CHARLEY 000 WTNT43 KNHC 120908 TCDAT3 HURRICANE CHARLEY DISCUSSION NUMBER 12 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 5 AM EDT THU AUG 12 2004
THERE HAS BEEN A LEFTWARD SHIFT IN MUCH OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE THIS MORNING...WITH THE UKMET AND THE GFDL SHOWING THE GREATEST CHANGE. DROPSONDE DATA FROM THE G-IV MISSION LAST NIGHT SHOWED A LITTLE MORE RIDGING OVER WESTERN CUBA AND THIS MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHIFT. I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY RADICAL CHANGE TO THE TRACK UNTIL THIS TREND CAN BE CONFIRMED...AND THE OFFICIAL TRACK HAS BEEN SHIFTED JUST A LITTLE TO THE LEFT FOR THIS ADVISORY. MOST OF THE GUIDANCE CURRENTLY SHOWS A LANDFALL FROM THE TAMPA AREA NORTHWARD THROUGH THE BIG BEND AREA. BECAUSE CHARLEY IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA COAST AT A SHARPLY OBLIQUE ANGLE...IT IS UNUSUALLY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT CHARLEY'S LANDFALL...AS SMALL ERRORS IN THE TRACK FORECAST WOULD CORRESPOND TO LARGE ERRORS IN THE LOCATION AND TIMING OF LANDFALL.
edited for space. the full report is listed under Charley on the left side of your screen-edit
