Forward Speed?

#1 Postby Miamuh » Sun Aug 29, 2004 10:34 am

Forgive me if this has already been addressed... but do you see any change in forward speed any time soon? Say from 9-10mph to 15-20 or above?

The speed may increase a little, but not to 15-20 mph. Most likely 10-12 mph.

If we don't count the GFS, then we can expect a speed of 15-20 mph. However, the GFS is much slower and it could not be until next week that we see (if, where) a landfall in the United States, IF it verifies.

Well, regardless of what forecast speed is, the actual speed has been consistently around 9 mph for quite some time. I see nothing in the foreseeable future that would cause that to significantly change, so the slower movement may turn out to be accurate, despite what the others are predicting.

Subtropical ridge forecast to STRENGTHEN to the north. THIS causes an increase in forward speed. It will depend on how strong it will be to determine the exact speed. Regardless, it SHOULD speed up some...

Agreed it should speed up some, I just don't see anything to suggest it will be moving 15-20 mph.
