Wobble or trend.....

#1 Postby baitism » Sun Jul 10, 2005 12:08 am

The last few frames have it going NW towards Mobile. Hopefully for their sake its just a wobble, if not its trouble.

Some people mentioned a ridge pushing it west, does anyone have any more info on that?

Mobile looks like a good bet for landfall here, unfortunately.

I think that mobile has upwards of an 80% chance of this storm. I originally stated pensacola-mobile as strong cat 3 but i may have been way way off with intesity. Its sort of been stair stepping nnw then w than more north. So it all should equal out to the NHC's path.

If that's the case, Mobile Bay will get the full brunt from the south and we over here - just to the west - will get those UNREAL and VERY LOUD winds from the north. Fredrick was a bear with those north winds over this way.... How do ya'll think this storm will compare to Fredrick?

You can bet the little b**tard is sucking down some of that 30-degree water as we speak.

Frederic was 943mb and 130 mph at landfall
Dennis is 937mb and 135 mph currently

It doesn't look like Dennis is going to weaken before hitting the coast. Frederic, move over.

The abnormal Atlantic SST's are actually mimicking August.



With this last wobble the extrap line from Cuba goes through Pascagoula. Round the track back to the NHC average and they are pretty much on track...

Basically the same path that Dennis is on....very little difference if any. Frederic came in from the SE, moved over Dauphin Island, and crossed the coast near the MS/AL line.
