2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

Re: 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

Wisko, I'd quote but too much to trim on mobile. I'm at work, now in Baton Rouge, will be headed north on the Mississippi.

Keeping an eye on Irma still, but don't believe I'll head home (Brandon/Riverview area) with current tracks. Tomorrow will be my 'decision' day, and I'd travel back Friday if it shifts back west.

Most of the latest model tracks seem to be hinting at something dangerously close to a direct hit on the Miami area. I'm thinking that would probably be a bad outcome. Hopefully they keep moving east.

Scarier is that the models are agreeing with each other...

This will be the first time multiple cat 4s or above make landfall in the US in the same season.

Ever.

But no, climate change isn't real so don't mention it in government reports.

Their average error at that range is close to 200 miles. Keep that in mind.

Yet there had been no major hurricane landfalls for the previous 12 years, a record amount of time without one hitting.

I'm in complete agreement with you. It's fictional. Please join me out on the water to show those scientists we're on to them.

I may be a little late.

Would the error still be that high considering the relatively good agreement among most of the model tracks?

Well, the 5-day forecast from the GFS that verifies today was off by about 300 miles, so yes.

Model agreement does not necessarily mean they are all going to verify.

And?

Normally, the models all range that much, too- so instead of a 400 mile target, it's down to 200 miles.

Darned liberals.

Was there a similar level of agreement five days ago? I honestly have no idea.

You're also assuming it will still be Category 4 or stronger at landfall in the US, if it even makes landfall in the US.

Just using the 2 maps on that page, when you look at the area around south Florida, you've got a range of nearly 400-500 miles in where the center could be, and also a range of more than 24 hours (The GFS has the storm there Sunday, the ECMWF Monday). That's not exactly what I'd call "agreement". Plus, as I stated already, agreement does not equal verification.

Somewhat - http://derecho.math.uwm.edu/models/archive/2017/al112017/al112017_2017090112.png

However, they all seemed to agree that at 120 hours (verification - 8am EDT today), the storm would be anywhere from 50-250 miles east or northeast of the the Leeward Islands. It was actually just west of St. Martin.

Did a hurricane projection model touch you as a child? I'm not quite sure what your point with all your posts is. Should we ignore all the forecasts?
