Model agreement on development of SW Carribean

#1 Postby Vortex » Sun Oct 19, 2003 4:14 pm

Most short and medium range models develop the system currently being analyzed as a 1006mb at 11n/78w. However, the nogaps and Gfs continue to indicate a N then Ne movement affecting only Jamaica, E Cuba, and the Se bahamas. IMO I think we will have a 40-50kt storm by midweek in the vicinity of Jamaica. More importantly if the medium range models are correct this will have no impact on the U.S.

I donot put great faith in models on a system that has not even initialized. Have to watch and see.

The posts or stuff said are NOT an official forecast and my opinion alone. Please look to the NHC and NWS for official forecasts and products.

Model Runs Cheat Sheet:
GFS (5:30 AM/PM, 11:30 AM/PM)
HWRF, GFDL, UKMET, NAVGEM (6:30-8:00 AM/PM, 12:30-2:00 AM/PM)
ECMWF (1:45 AM/PM)
TCVN is a weighted averaged

Opinions my own.
