      @@BuGGy2DaB Yeah, I’ve found Ryan Hall quite good, particularly for inland storms and tornado forecasts and warnings. In my book, Ryan is the best in that venue. The gold standard for tropical storms is right here with Dr Levi Cowan. I look at what others have to say about the tropics, but I hold out for Tropical Tidbits about the final word. Take care, and stay safe.

You are BY FAR the best at explaining the important aspects that we all need to know to prepare for these hurricanes. This video especially was absolutely key in explaining the ridge over the Bahamas and ridge line down the state of Florida. Your use of the European 500 mb steering flow graphics showing the hurricane going due north and not turning east earlier was spot on. Thank you.

  • @elizabethschneider297
    @elizabethschneider297 10 місяців тому +2

    With it's small core size, seems more likely that it will be able to intensify more rapidly, which would likely pivot it more to the right/East upon landfall. Since it's such a fast moving storm though, I'm curious about the severity of the surge. Typically stronger, slower moving storms cause more catastrophic surge, but like you said, this is in a wetland area, which is very vulnerable to this. I can't help but wonder if the intensity of Franklin helped to amplify the ridge, since Franklin intensified very rapidly. And I'd like to thank you, Dr. TT. You and I have the same Alma Mater, but I got my BS and then got my BS in Engineering. I'm in the western Florida panhandle, and your knowledge and attention to detail has helped me explain to my friends, family and colleagues what to expect, and everything in-between when it comes to hurricane season here in Florida. Thank you so much for what you do for us!

    It would be nice in the future if you could have the hurricane tracks of the GFS & ECMWF models plotted over time to show disagreement between models and accuracy of the actual path. Looks like you already track the hurricane center in the “hurricane” tab. I just struggle flipping between 3 or 6 hour steps for each model.
    I know you have spaghetti plots images, but I can’t tell which of the dozens shown are the more accurate ones.
    I’ve noticed that the GFS has held a more westward position compared to the ECMWF, and that prediction has stayed west over the course of two days, which is interesting as we find out which model had a more accurate forecast in a few hours. Would be nice if that could be easily visualized

    It already is a powerful storm, if getting a little bit more of storm surge in a bay in Northwest Florida Panhandle. The less affected west side, not the dirty east side of the storm. Remember that the waters get very dark colored and choppy, before wherever a hurricane is set to hit.
