This one had me doubting myself, but remembering back with the weather-nerds little yellow funnel, I think I had them beat most of the time. Now with Ivan, the remains of Frances could inject some more dry air or pull the high conveyor currents north causing Ivan to move east of us or even east of Fla. I hope so, but Fla has had enough for one year. I think it will be watched by more people down south than Fox News.

It will cross Cuba and we should have an idea on who gets it then. Posted by Winkey [user-2injrpk.dialup.mindspring.com at 165.121.239.52] on September 07, 2004 at 09:03:04: I think it will run a more westerly direction than the little window above shows. It will make a less gradual curve toward the north about thursday which will bring it across the western tip of Cuba. I look for landfall between New Orleans and Pensacola. The reason I say this is that the watervapor images are showing a drift toward the south from the outflow of Ivan which indicates there is a push to keep it from turning north. So D.I. beach owners should be making notes of things they need to do. I still figure it will be a week from this wednesday before it gets real close. Hopefully I am wrong. It has weakened a little but will build again possibly to a cat-5.

Bruce's aunt and some cousins live in Panama City Fl. He knows a hit East of D.I. is the very best chance. Anything from D.I. West to N.O. would wreck this place. So I just hope he is right about Mexico though I don't believe it will maintain that course. We don't know anyone living there and it may slow down the wetbacks a little. But I do hope it keeps moving very fast. Those slow one really get on your nerves. This will be a very long 7 or 8 days.

for a day or so. Then it will start it's bow to the north and begin it's
movement toward us. After several days, we should know whether it targets Fla or
us(Gulf Shores to N.O). But on a good note, it can't maintain its current power
and orginazation for long. Once they get this strong, they tend to tear
themselves up somewhat.

normal and pull the cain toward fla. But I still am not so sure. My most trusted
model still shows it heading to the pensacola/destin area, which is still only a
guess based on what it "thinks" the high pressure currents will be doing at that
time. It is very unlikely that this high pressure will just shrink down and
cause this. I don't blame them for warning florida, but I would have never
pulled the tract funnel away from the N.O./Miss area. Time will tell, but don't
get caught not watching if it drifts our way. Even thought I don't want to see
the poor voting-challenged people of florida to get another one, I like the
models choice as far as D.I. is concerned. Most models show Ivan crossing
directly over Jamica. I think it will pass just to the south of Jamica putting
the worst winds on top of them. Hopefully Ivan will be a weaker storm by the
time it reaches the U.S. Posted by Winkey [user-2injq9k.dialup.mindspring.com at 165.121.233.52] on September 11, 2004 at 21:28:57: In Reply to: Re: Weather-nerds are starting to get better. posted by steven on September 11, 2004 at 17:39:18: I predict it will start to turn more toward the norts after it passes the caymens. I figure it will miss the caymens to their south and start a slow turn to the north being pulled by a wind current running from south of the Yuccatan to mid atlantic ocean. I think it will pass between the Yuccatan and Cuba and stay over warm waters. We also have a stationary front just offshore of D.I. that will pull it along once it gets there. I think it has a great chance of making landfall between N.O. and Panama City. But the front offshore is a good insurance policy for us in that it contains dry air, which will try to kill the storm, plus it will drag it more to the east, which is good news for us, but not Florida panhandle towns like Pensacola and Panama City.

Actually the tip of the Yuccatan is due south of Pensacola/Ft. Walton. To hit mobile, it would have to move north and west, and inland and off coast air currents will not allow a westward drift once it is close to land. But I would keep watching just for the fun of it. It has not started it's turn yet, but I look for it today. Before pictures->
