The Euro also shows Ike plunging into High Pressure off La in 7 days time. Extremly unlikely. It did well with Gustav Horrible with Hanna.

GFS still recurves around the same point, around 77-78W is when it lifts up, though it makes the high a touch weaker sooner on this run it appears.

I agree the models can shift significantly. But what is concerning is that they seem to already
be in tight agreement, but day 5 forecasts can be up to 300 miles off, so the models can shift.
Yes it is nearly 800 miles east (visual estimate, not an accurate figure), but the Rate of movement
being so quick at between 14-18 mph over the past several days is what increases the concern.

Not pinning down Miami or any other city just yet. In 2 more days we will have a much more
confident idea about Ike's potential impact to South Florida.


You are correct. It is pointless to pinpoint anywhere on a five day time scale, no matter if all of the models were to even agree on the same final coordinate. What should be interpreted from the models is "starting at this known point, the track should look something like this", or "the storm will go in this general direction then go in that general direction".

The good thing about that track is its inner core would likely be in serious trouble with that much land and it'd only have a very small time period to strengthen back up again I'd think...thats a better run then the HWRF run at 12z...much better for Florida even though its still bad obviously.

Geez..I was about given up on the GOM solution...and now the models are throwing it back into the mix?


The GFDL amazes me sometimes.

Looks like the 12z ECM was onto something, thus far the ECM and the GFDL have been the trend setter with regard to the forecasted track, both the GFDL and the HWRF look bad with regards to the keys...very bad...

The HWRF goes north of Cuba and slams Key West and I assume is headed toward the West Coast of Florida.

If the GFDL is right..and this thing gets tangled up in Cuba...best bet is the thing will definitely weaken significantly.


Assuming that happens....and the GFDL is pretty far south...wouldn't it miss this "Weakness", that probably wouldn't be much of a weakness anyway...and certainly would be less effective?

Just a thought.

GFDL comes off Cuba and is at 963mbs around 126hrs and deepening, only slowly moving NW on its way to a recurve I guess...
