That they do. GFDL use to be a REALLY good model a few years ago, however, that hasn't been the case the past couple of years. Although, if Ernesto starts making a quick WNW to NW turn and more toward the Eastern Gulf, it could be on to something.

The key here is a stronger system will feel the weakness and head more NW. A weaker system will continue west.

Ernesto has some deep warm water in the Caribbean. Could intensify into a major hurricane.

The concern I have right now is the possibility of Ernesto slowing and rapidly strengthening in the SE or SC Gulf, then starting that more northerly path. Srain mentioned that a couple of posts as well. Stalling near Mexico then heading north would not bode very well for the Texas coastline, unless you want to see a Hurricane.

srain, now that 91L is on the board - what does this mean for Ernesto? Is it possible that we could have two storms heading in our direction next week? :shock:

91L is a fly in the ointment in the forecast. As far as what that might mean regarding Ernesto's future track, I suspect that the East Coast trough and weakness expected across the Central Gulf Coast as well as a short wave diving ESE from Canada will be the key players in how everything evolves. Stay tuned!

How are the models picking up Ernesto - and show nothing of 91L?
Seriously - sorry - I am new and curious how this work itself out? While the models are indeed not perfect - shouldn't they sniff it out? Thanks -
