Based on Sat observations...
It looks like TS Hanna is getting it's act together..
We may have a pair of major hurricanes spinning up at the same time. Except Hanna has projected tracks that don't look so hot for Florida.  |

| reply to Budster Of course we'll have to wait and see, currently all the models have Hanna hitting a brick wall right around 70W. If that holds up we should be in the clear. »www.wunderground.com/tropical/tr···del.html |

  ghostpainter I Write for the Apocalypse Premium,MVM join:2002-05-25 Rancho Cucamonga, CA clubs: | very true....That wall being the Bermuda High as it moves west. As it does so, though, there is some thought that Hanna will slide under the high and then move to the NW or west. But that is 6 days out. |

| I noticed a well defined spin out in front of Hanna that looks like it is starting to develop a bit more convection around 23N 66W. It's very close to Hanna and running the same path. It will be interesting to see what energy gets transferred between the two systems, or if Hanna tries to jump to the circulation in front of it. |

| reply to Budster It seems the NHC doesn't trust their computer models with Hanna.
From this mornings discussion: MOST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE CARVING A LARGE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC AND DEVELOPING A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS PATTERN SHOULD FORCE HANNA ON A SLOW SOUTHWESTERLY TRACK BEYOND THREE DAYS...BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN THE CYCLONE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF THE SOUTHWESTERLY MOTION BUT DOES NOT GO AS FAR SOUTH AS SHOWN BY MOST OF THE MODELS. IN FACT...THE GFS HAS JOINED THE REST OF THE GLOBAL MODELS IN BRINGING THE CYCLONE SOUTHWESTWARD. I PREFER TO WAIT FOR MORE MODEL RUNS BEFORE FORECAST SUCH A RARE BUT NOT UNIQUE TRACK TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST. |
