Re: ATL: ISAAC - Models
Nothing really changing...not as intense, but I don't think we should rely on GFS for intensity modeling. Same story with it approaching SE LA and then drifting west right along or maybe just off the coast. Might be a tad more inland with this run.

New Orleans on the northeast quadrant on the GFS 48 hr run. That will be absolutely terrible if that pan out, especially if the cyclone strengthens into high end Cat 2 or Cat 3.

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Models
Difference between 0z GFS and 12z really is only a few miles north vs south, slightly on the coast vs just off.

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Models
Something doesn't seem right about this skirting of the LA coast. Seems to me that the steering currents aren't well defined and that is a problem. The sharp angle at which it is approaching the coast is also problematic because a tiny difference in track makes a huge difference in landfall point.

Re: ATL: ISAAC - Models
This looks a lot like the forecast for Gustav ... especially the wnw/w drift after landfall. However, Gustav did not move west after landfall (Morgan City), but rather NNW ... and gave Baton Rouge a terrible beating.

Could you please tell me what this means, in terms I can understand?

Are you sure...I compared 200-500 mb heights at 12Z vs. 00z and it looks more pronounced at 12z.

Agreed delta! I wonder if ensembles/gfdl/hwrf will feel the weakness. I wanna trust gfs cuz its better for my folks in Pascagoula. But with that and still some eastern model support, and possible north reformation, I can't.

The gfs trended stronger with the weakness, coming down from the ohio valley, and it still didn't pick up Isaac.....We shall see if that is right, its a VERY tough forecast.
