The only thing about the model intensity forecast people need to remember is that when they are right on...it was the luck of the draw. As my dad says...even a blind squirrel gets the acorn every once in a while.
Obviously. But if the model is taken literally, which my post says I do not, a storm of that intensity would bring winds down from 950mb to the surface. A reduction of whatever % as the poster described would not be valid.

all NHC forecast tracks
up until now had Charley clipping Jamacia or hitting it head on. Clearly Charley is still moving due west and will miss Jamacia. Hmmm...

Re: Charley looks like shes moving west and will miss jamaic
lookout wrote:It sure looks to me like on latest visible loops charley is moving more west and will miss Jamaica entirely unless she takes a sharp turn northwest now. IF it is indeed the case, nhc will need to rethink their sharp hook. my personal view is the florida panhandle still but it all depends on the apparently west motion. unless of course my eyes are decieving me, does anyone else see this?
He sure does look like he's moving due west. Man what is it with there tropical systems? They never seem to follow directions.

"The GDFL has charley right over us with 80 winds here in Lumberton NC? whats with that?"
Saw that this morning. Remember that's a good 20 percent faster than ground level...though sustained winds in the 60 mph range are nsty enough.
Is the GFDL alone in showing this kind of strength after Charlie bumps out of Florida? I'm not sure about reading the other models.
Thanks and good luck! Doesn't look like a good weekend for golf at Puppy Creek.
