Any chance whatsoever of a Fish storm (for USA)

Anonymous · #1 Postby **Anonymous** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 10:58 am

I know as of last Night everyone said no...but with the latest satellite showing more of a WNW jog, I was wonderring if there was a chance the US could be spared and this storm could turn to sea not affecting the CONUS? Any models show this? Probably a long shot but Trying to find some optimism for Fla/US :?:

Less than 1%.

not likely now that its so far south and so far west. its also far below puerto rico, so the chances of reurving to sea now are very slim.

Anything is possible, but it is unlikely. Remember my post regarding CLIMO for storms which formed near IVAN. There have been three predominant tracks:

1. Into the CARIB/GOM
2. Out to sea (your Fish track)
3. A landfall along the East coast.

Right now given Ivan’s location in the Caribbean, and the fact that it’s at a fairly low latitude, it's not likely that Ivan will re-curve -- avoiding contact w/ the US mainland or for that matter Mexico perhaps. It is taking a track similar to number one which would put anyone from the West coast of Florida/western keys to Texas including Mexico at risk IMO

You sound so confident... I wonder why.

It is possible, but not likely... IMHO it has a better chance of hitting Mexico/C America than recurving out to sea and missing the US. I am not wishing Ivan on anyone, but I think it has USA written all over it again.

i think it will hit us somewhere

Unless I'm missing something, a couple of the respected models are predicting it to miss the US entirely. So I'd say sure there's a chance it will miss us.

maybe it will stall out and weaken

Uhhhhh theres hardly a chance it will recurve and TOTALLY miss the US now..... yes it can go into mexico or central america, but thats not recurving into a fish storm.... thats virtutally impossible being so far south and still moving w-wnw quite quickly.....

Yes. It's possible...although that is looking increasingly unikely.
