It doesn't have to do much really.. it's a-symmetrical yes but on the northern half. The larger wind field is good for swell generation, so as long as it doesn't dive into the Caribbean it should usher in a nice SE swell for the weekend (Euro has trended a bit north today too aligning more with the GFS). With this scenario, falling apart as it approaches keeps our conditions good and doesn't threaten a costly landfall (swell will already be created). It's kind of a rare but good scenario. Normally when they approach like this we don't get swell before the bad winds, and we're praying for a recurve to avoid landfall and to get the good conditions. The next 48 hours are key.

Models changed up some overnight. Looks like tracking further East and moving closer to the Bahamas. Yesterday they showed it recurving North once above Puerto Rico. Something to watch!
Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 AM EDT Tue Jul 28 2020 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: 1. Shower activity associated with a low pressure area located about 750 miles east of the Windward Islands is gradually increasing in organization. However, recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that the circulation remains broad and elongated, and the low does not yet have a well-defined center of circulation. Environmental conditions are expected to become somewhat more conducive for development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form during the next couple of days while the system moves west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph and approaches the Leeward Islands. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains and gusty winds are likely across portions of the Leeward Islands on Wednesday and will spread westward to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Wednesday night and Thursday. Interests on these islands should continue to monitor the progress of this system, and tropical storm watches or warnings could be required for portions of the area later today. * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent. |

Yep, as previously discussed here, I've lived in Brevard since 1954 and I AM OVER IT! If it's going to be here as anything close to even a CAT 1, I'm Out Of Here!
But, then again, on last night's weather on WFTV (Ch 9) Tom Terry was showing longer term projections that show this as a big blob of rain passing to the south of Cuba but, with plenty of Wet for us. "Most" models do not show it becoming a hurricane. We shall see by Thursday night. ------------------------- Dora Hates You Edited: 07/28/2020 at 06:16 AM by dingpatch |

Funny, from ding's graphic above, "NHC Advisories and County Emergency Management statements supersede..." bla bla bla. Notice the only model missing? NHC. We're doomed.

FWIW: Looked at the Navy's site, FNMOC, just now. GFS show a fizzle on Sat. WW3 shows a fairly strong storm <100 miles off 2ndlight on Sun. Be prepared scouts.

I don't know what sites to believe anymore. I used to use weatherunderground, and especially follow the Euro model but, after McMasters sold it, they are garbage. They don't even have a forecast for 92L, just a satellite image. I also use FNMOC but, they have changed it and the wave height forecast under the Meteorology Products link is completely different than the models shown under Tropical Applications, which, for the past few days, hasn't even had a forecasted path. I have gone directly to the Euro models but they have two different forecasted track overlays and they are both different too and they are too small to read which model is being used for which track. I sure miss McMaster's old weatherunderground blog and forecast maps.

Its July and nothing to be concerned about until NHC gives a briefing on strength, location and destination. Check out Tropicaltidbits for entertainment first yet useful info on models

It's not going to hit Florida. If it stays as a weak TS or depression it will go south of the keys. If it gets to Hurricane status it will recurve and stay off shore. NHC is hedging their bets and forecasting something in the middle of that which I think is highly unlikely and so does the NHC.
