water temps in the FL straits are around 85 degrees with very little shear. Will strengthen back to a CAT3+ very rapidly.

Derek Ortt has pointed out that dropsonde data from in the core was being put into the GFS, and that messed things up. The "fix" was
due out soon. Maybe we can get clarification from him.

It is initialized with the data from the recon missions, that sampled that ridge exhaustively.

I am NOT saying this is coming to miami, or up the east coast!!!!

This model run VERY, closely models what the current synopits are in the atmosphere. If you see otherwise, please post the details.

WOAH! HARD Left! That's a little strange.


Not really, I see why it is doing that...the southern edge of the ridge of FL begins at about 26 degrees...

Yes, ridge definitely being noticed. More "left" movements in recent frames.

Anyone notice the high building in over Indiana? Maybe that might slow Dennis down, or steer it one way or the other?

this also has inner core dropsondes. Once there is recon, the GFS has become a joke the last couple of years. This is why I really do not use the model for making a forecast. Gravity wave galore are generated
