East Coast of Fla to ?

#1 Postby DROliver » Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:20 am

It looks like Ernesto is a little right of the models and projected path as it makes landfall in Cuba based on recon fix VDM.

Also what role will this upper level low have on Ernesto?

Increase shear?

Induce a more north to north-north east track?

Ernesto's historical trend has been to the right of model conus and with the above factors the outcome of a possible Florida east coast storm is quickly increasing as is any threat to the SE U.S. coast.

Some questions:

Could Ernesto be left behind by the short wave?

Base on Ernesto heading at the present time will he have enough left to regain strength in the Atlantic?

Of course as I post this Ernesto will head west and get into the GOM

Ernesto has been so crazy that all past expectations are now history. Every moment we get something new.

That approaching trough looks pretty strong so out to sea seems like the most likely answer. Hope it arrives early.

Dr O...so far it is still N and E of track even after the 5am from what I can see. Watching the vapor it is already trying to feed off the N coast of Cuba which should encourage additional N bias. After that....

FYI channel 4 mia cbs is now streaming
