Round 2 - Katia (Tracking, venting, swearing...) - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Let's see. TS Hurricane Katia has been trending well west of previous tracks. Interesting. A couple days ago it was forecast to go east of Bermuda, now it is forecast to go west of Bermuda.

It's coming

Rumor has it that Mother Nature got really pessed at Drudge for pushing the Irene was hyped story, so she's going to give us the jab uppercut combination.

if TD 13 takes it's time coming up, it's not going to be pretty

striperman36 · 09-02-2011, 05:37 PM

actually with the vertical wind shear and the drier air she is moving into, she may fizzle out.

striperman36 · 09-03-2011, 09:23 AM

little more northward on the track once she clears Bermuda Thursday

More to the left.

Depending on the interaction of Lee and the low trough bringing Lee to the NE by Tuesday-Wednesday, we could see a real mess next week or just high surf.
Anything not cleaned up by Tuesday in western ma is going to get reflooded mid-week

Hatteras is in the cone of DOOooOoooooooOooOoooooOOOOM

JohnR · 09-04-2011, 09:19 AM

Hope it makes those swings indicated by the models or so may be our turn in the cone of doom.

striperman36 · 09-04-2011, 09:37 AM

depends on what the stalled front mid-week across the eastern part of the country does

i hope it misses Vermont

they are in a world of troubles

striperman36 · 09-04-2011, 11:35 AM

Remnants, of TS Lee, is looking at this time to take the same track the the western edges of Irene did. Which is NY - Vt.

justplugit · 09-04-2011, 06:55 PM

Haven't put the generator away yet nor put back the flyables, if
that's a word.

Raven · 09-05-2011, 07:52 AM

hurricane Lee is on the way...

gonna arrive next sunday

fairly close to a full moon

striperman36 · 09-05-2011, 08:01 AM

It appears to be a swing and a miss, by friday into Saturday, there is a ridge of high pressure stretching across the north atlantic, both Lee and Katia bounce off of it and exit stage right..

Here is the model animation for the GFS and NAM , where you can see the pressure gradients and the resulting action modeled for Katia

Predicted to turn nicely now. Hopefully it keeps turning far away from us!

buckman · 09-06-2011, 07:47 AM

This is still worth watching. Hit cat 4 for a while and should hold shape which will make the western edge stronger. Moisture coming from the south is making this a little bit harder to predict when it will turn north.

Katia is a dud except for some BIG swells coming into the south coastal areas and making for an interesting HelenH canyon trip this weekend but time to start a new thread:

Round 3 - Maria (tracking, venting, swearing, etc.)

Much more interesting track!
