MAJOR HURRICANE LAURA Discussion Thread

For whatever it's worth, the HWRF has 98L taking a more southern route, moving almost due west across the northern Caribbean as a major hurricane.

I still wish there was a "Captain Obvious" emoji

Piggy-backing on what Zack just mentioned...

Almost a "double-barreled" structure with Invest 98L this afternoon. At first glance, it legitimately looks like two developing systems embedded in monsoon trough.

With multiple vortex's, this is likely a reason for suspect afternoon model guidance on the system's future...until dominant center develops with the Invest, models will struggle w/ system's future.

yeah, I mentioned on that on the last page too. ASCAT missed most of it, but you can see 2 broad areas of circulation. My concern with this is the longer it takes to come together, the farther west it'll make it (then there are the islands that could rip it up as well though). Just think if we can exit both of these invests, in late August, with zero outcome lol.

I made a post on FB and someone asked about the SAL. It doesn't look like SAL is going to have much of an effect on either.

This particular model ensemble image reminds me that this is 2020....waiting for clarity.
