It's looks larger because the pic is a close-up of the Carribean Islands.

[dixiebreeze]

Yes. It looks like a we-don't-have-a-clue-where=it's-going Cone.

[Josephine96]

It's a close up..

Models are way confused on what to do with Ivan too after lanfall..If they verify There will be a new lake in the SE US the size of GA and Jeanne will go fishing...

We just got out of the "cone of terror" and now we are back in? This is crazy!

I'm sick and tired of being in the cone. Enough already!!!

[HURAKAN]

The cone easily and without a word says:

"Everyone from the Greater Antilles to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, including the Bahamas and Bermuda should be watching the progress of Jeanne".

Just one week out of the cone, just one week is all I ask!

Hurricane catch phrase of the year...."THE CONE"!!!!!

Yes, I think the NHC doesn't want to commit to any path yet because there is significant model divergence. This was alluded to in the 11 a.m. discussion. The GFS (and therefore, the GFDL, BAMM models, etc.) are all leaning toward a post-landfall stall by Ivan, which therefore prevents the western edge of the SW Atlantic ridge to re-strengthen/build W. But other models (NOGAPS, ECMWF, etc.) appear to forecast more ridging and therefore, a move closer to FL. Since the storm is at least 5 days away (And they probably don't want us FL to freak out again ), they have plenty of time to see if the models come into better agreement before moving that cone too far west.

You can have your week starting Dec. 1

all these cones and not a dip of ice cream to be found.

[Steve H.]

The models will begin to shift westward over time with Jeanne. Hey, I lost 5 lbs with Frances during the past week cause I'm outta power. The Frances diet. Lack of ice cream and sweat all night.
