No way can it survive TWO pretty good size islands full of mountains.

The consensus seems to have shifted southward...

Consensus is shifting more southward. Don't IGNORE the other models, except the 98E. The GFDL can be pretty horrific too.

Actually the only old model on there is the UKMET.

The models overall have ALL been shifting south consistently. Yes, they go to different places, but they are each going further south with each run.

Not to mention the GFS

#8 Postby jimvb » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:38 pm

Also the GFS, which consistently has TD #5 (probably Emily, unless some other hotshot storm becomes tropical soon) hitting Hispaniola and destroying itself there. It just simply goes poof, and there is no more evidence of it on GFS maps. The latest run of GFS still has TD #5 meeting its end in Hispaniola. Debby did this a few years ago. So maybe this is what TD #5 will do. But note that Jeanne last year hit Hispaniola, somehow got out of the poison island's grip and went on to become one of 2004's major hurricanes.

For whatever reason, maybe outlined in the discussion, NHC has gone north of all the models and a good bit north of their previous track at 11.

Uh oh, the Island of Doom. With the models trending southward, maybe it will miss the greater antilles all together.

They relocated the center further north, so they bumped the forecast track north.

Yep, just read the NHC discussion about that.

If I'm not mistaken, Frederic in 1979 visited Hispanola. Mobile can tell you that the island had little effect on his strenght.

That's nothing. Try David in '79 -- struck as a Cat 5, came off as a 1:

This is so strange... The models are taking this storm more South, while the official forecast is taking it more Northerly. What's going on? :?:

NHC relocated the center, but the models were initialized further south. That could change things a little. We'll have to wait for the next model runs now.
