2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

Re: 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...


It's still WAY too early to look at the individual model tracks beyond North Carolina. Too many things in the atmosphere that the models won't be able to resolve for at least another day or two before we'll have a better idea as to where Matthew may head after the Bahamas.

Also, weather underground sucks. Hard.

Love it. Melbourne, FL hasn't had a hurricane since 2004, but 3 months after I buy a house half a mile from the beach....

Time to dig out the wellies!

Tampa hasn't had a direct hit in 90 some odd years. I thank the MacDill Hurricane Resistance System for its service to the area.

Hope it stays far enough off the coast for you Atlantic coasters though. Got some friends in the Ft. Laud/Hollywood area too that are keeping an eye on this monster.

Looks like a coast hugger. Our local station has it going over the DelMarVa peninsula. Ugh!

Looks like a coast hugger.

Is that just luck of the draw or are there dynamics that cause storms to hug the coast (e.g., pressure differentials generated by the different capacity of land and sea to absorb heat)?

This is a good video that outlines the dynamics at play. Essentially, Matthew took a bit longer to make the turn north, and as a result, the Bermuda high is building back in to the west (this is primarily responsible for the track shifting to the west more than it was projected to last week). It's also being pushed from the west by a trough that has kind of stalled out around the Florida peninsula. This is creating the lane up the east coast.

I'm waiting to see what happens, the models keep moving it all over the place. My concern is whats it going to do once it gets close to Penobscot bay. My hoop house in the garden has to come down, apple picking has to happen if winds are going to be an issue and otherwise batten down the hatches. We need the rain badly but we don't need it in a few hours nor do we need the wind

Looks like no Mathew in Maine
