Retreating Ridge

[jasons2k]

Looking at ridge analysis, looks to me the ridge is indeed retreating west and Katrina should be turning soon.

With that said, stick with the NHC, I think they have a good handle on this one:

I'm sorry, I'm NO expert.... But to me it looks like the H over FLA and the H over Louisana are merging and that would bring Trina much further west..... I could be wrong and maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing.

I didn't think the 750 layers would steer as much as the 300 layers as she gets larger and stronger?

Until I see a southerly flow in the central to eastern gulf, I won't buy it. I do see the ridge moving over to the west though.

Southern flow is coming off the MS/ GREAT state of AL border right now. Storms just south of NOLA are moving almost Due South.

You are correct. 300MB is a much better steering layer than 700MB for strong storms.

whats up with Alabama being a great state? did it recieve a reputation boost of some sort?

Just curious. No offense intended

Oopsss....when I said southerly flow, I meant actually coming from the south.

I insulted AL yesterday, by pointing out its shortcomings as to the length of its coastline, and caught flack for it.

I'm confused, how can Katrina move North into a Due South flow?

Oh they implied you were referring to its socioeconomic status. Don't mess with Alabamers! As the saying goes, if at first you don't secede try try try again.

It cant, but that shows the eastern edge of the ridge. It is forecast to erode on the NE side and move W. Allowing KAT to come on in. The northern flow to look for would be on the Eastern side of the High in the Atlantic.

Exactly, but I did insinuate something along those lines in jest.

dwg71 Didn't insult any one. It was all a ruse perpitrated by me. But dawg is a good dude and he was just being cool about it. I don't see any signs of weakening in the ridge, of course I'm just a novice, but where is the short wave trough? Is there an eastern ridge building? Could it kick it even farther west, say LA?
