Thursday Evening...

>> Thursday, August 21, 2008

Not much on the old brain this evening. It still looks like the remnants of Fay could finally make it in here around mid-week next week.

Also, we have this little gem off of the 12z European....Labor Day weekend anyone?

That is a MONSTER for it to be on a global model. I'm pretty sure thats the correct angle to cause Charleston to have it's own mini-katrina.

Yeah, that is a bad angle for the South Carolina coast...perpendicular to the coast. And yeah, a strengthening major hurricane at a right angle is pretty much the worst-case scenario.

That is a huge area of lower pressures from surrounding the storm....lots of energy available. The Euro has been sniffing this thing out for a while....

Hey Matthew... wow!! the euro really spins this system up BIG TIME! is there any other modeling showing the same idea? now there is 95L we have to start watching very closely... we could have 2 storms make a run for us. does the euro bring 94L inland toward us or does it take it up the coast?

Yeah, the Canadian really spins it up as well. In fact, most modeling shows something, with the notable exceptions of the GFS and GFDL.

You can't take details at this point, but I do think we will see 94L develop and could actually track similar to Fay across the NE Caribbean. From there, all beta are off....East Coast or Gulf.....
