GFDL from 1 day ago is verifying......

That GDFL from yesterday that everyone thought was nuts from all the south movement is verifying. I guess the GFDL is a decent model.

Hey, that's my line for GFDL! :lol:


I noted last night that the GFDL had done well, it just initialized too far south.

You will see some models can handle certain storms at certain points better than others. In this case, the GFDL turned out to be the best one. Several previous times this season I have seen practically every other model have a good forecast, especially after 24 hours. It was just the GFDL's turn.

The GFDL also intensified Katrina to major hurricane before hitting FL. It was dead wrong on intensity.

Like they say, the intensity forcast is the hardest. But honestly the GFDL did a heck of a job with the track. It's the only one that I recall that picked up on that southwest turn.

If she had stayed offshore as the GFDL had forecast, the intensity would likely be right.

Katrina is a big city girl.

She veered SW to visit Miami and I suspect will visit either New Orleans or Houston next.

THIS IN NOT AN OFFICIAL FORECAST
(nor does it based on ANY scientific knowledge.)
