re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

878 is plausable with the warmer than normal oceans, lack of shear, and expected shape and dynamics of the storm riding between a big high and a strong trough.
That being said the pressure is almost absurd for the Atlantic. I'd take it as saying an incredibly powerful hurricane at that point is likely but past that, expecting such a deep storm would be a mistake.
878 would be an Atlantic basin record. Typically, I dismiss the models when they show record solutions but we saw the models spit out record rainfall with Harvey. That verified.

After dismissing the 50+ inch rain forecasts as absurd for Texas, I'm not going to discount anything.
Exactly

Supposed to be in Miami next weekend, will have to keep a very close eye (pun intended) on this one.

Interesting extended projects for Hurricane Irma. U.S. model drives it inland. European is much closer to us. #wcvb
hehe... his name is Wankum

Yeah, I'd typically just dismiss it. To me, the physics of that deep of a storm make enough sense to buy it as a possible solution. No shear, probably going annular by that point, positioning between trough and high.

HMON gets down to 880, the HWRF isn't out that far but comes close to eliminating the northern Islands

874 and finally starting to make the turn
Holy shite. God help anyone in this things path. It makes landfall it will be disastrous

But approaching Tip?
It's almost unbelievable. Too bad physically it almost makes sense.

The thermo says possible. The transport phenomenon syas believe it when you see it.

our 2nd favorite time of the day... new GFS run time 
Posted on 9/2/17 at 10:34 pm to rt3
LSU game going right now. At my limit of six drinks to talk physics. Waiting for the GEFS to roll in to see the spread. And you know, to see where the GFS sends the latest doom cane.

Not really seeing any big changes so far on the 00z
Posted on 9/2/17 at 10:48 pm to rds dc
it's slipping just a tiny bit more south
definitely a bit more south than the 9/2 00z model

Slightly SW of 18z and the kicker trough is slightly faster.

Don't care so much on one run but the split on ensambles. Still too far out to but a single model solution with all the variables past 7 days.

What does that mean? That the trough could potentially miss Irma?

this run has it brushing the Leeward Antilles

That is a concern, the HWRF has been SW of the GFS, if that trend holds then the 00z HWRF will be into the Islands.
