BAMD is "Deep"
timeflow wrote:This is a slight BUMP. I'm reading this 5pm Discussion and everyone's ideas on the possibility of a loop... but also have looked at what may be old model output and notice only BAMD making a sharp loop... the rest keeping it on towards the NE. If I read the Discussion properly, it would seem that if the storm is healthy in 72 hours, it will likely be steered to the south or southwest, thus beginning a loop. Just trying to clarify this in less technical terms, so that I can understand the more technical... thanks!
BAMD is the deep tropics model, isn't it? The Bermuda Triangle doesn't exactly fit that definition, does it?

Keep in mind that I'm not a pro, but it looks like the storm is having a East-Southeast motion to it right now. Maybe it's the start of a possible loop or maybe it's temporary, I don't know. I looked at this on the IR Sat.

Recon says the movement is still ENE...
At 17Z...29 deg 41 min N
074 deg 48 min W
At 00Z...30 deg 04 min N
073 deg 25 min W....north 23 minutes and east 83...
At 02Z...30 deg 07 min N
073 deg 08 min W....north 3 minutes and east 17
So the reason the NHC didn't mention it is because it didn't move ESE...at least not anything other than a small jog (if at all). Recon says it's moving almost due east now...but certainly not anything south of east.

SOME QUESTION HOW FAST TROPICAL CYCLONE
FRANKLIN WILL MOVE OUT TO THE ENE COMFORTABLY AWAY FROM THE AREA.
12Z GFS DOES NOT MOVE MID LVL CIRCULATION OFF TO OUR EAST TOO
QUICKLY AND THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THE SYSTEM COULD SLOW AND
MOVE S OR SW IN THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME
This is from Melbourne disscussion.It makes you wonder.
