Pero es que no habra nada de polvo del sahara los dias previos al huracan...
imagino que seran dias con cielos bien azules

Tropical Storm Irma is going to be a very large hurricane ... by early next week approaching Leeward Islands. #Irma

Todos esos modelos la pasan en o cerca al Norte!
Coin flip (Todo puede pasar)

Still 4-5 days away from confidently forecasting if a Hurricane Irma will affect U.S. or recurve away from coast. Today it's a coin flip.

Saludos a todos:

Poco polvo.......

Anda pal.....Un poco cerca!

Para los q les gusta los mapas de trayectorias!

Esos ensamble del europeo, algunos de ellos entrando al Mar Caribe, interesante eso.

Irma is displaying increasingly organized symmetric and interlocking
rainbands with a well-defined outflow as seen in the visible and
infrared satellite imagery this afternoon. Dvorak classifications
from both TAFB and SAB have gone up at 18Z, suggesting 45 and 35 kt,
respectively. Given their low bias earlier compared with the ASCAT
scatterometer passes, the initial intensity is bumped up to 50 kt at
advisory time.

Irma is embedded within very low tropospheric vertical shear
currently and for the foreseeable future, as the tropical storm lies
underneath the upper-level anticyclone. However, in about three
days the SSTs and the mid-level humidities that Irma should start to
encounter will become cooler and drier. The intensity guidance
shows steady intensification for the next two to three days, then
diverges in response to the low shear/not-as-favorable
thermodynamical environment. The official intensity forecast is
closest to the ICON consensus technique through three days, then
shows no change to day five. This new forecast is higher than the
previous advisory, but lower than ICON at day 4 and 5 (and thus may
be conservative).

Irma is moving toward the west at about 13 kt along the south side
of the deep-layer Azores high. A slight turn toward the west-
northwest at a slower rate of forward speed is expected during
the next three days. As the high strengthens, Irma is expected to
turn toward the west-southwest around day 4. There is a moderate
amount of spread among the normally reliable global and mesoscale
models in this scenario. The official track forecast is based upon
the HFIP Corrected Consensus Approach and is nearly the same as
that from the previous advisory.

Despite the large overall envelope of the Irma's circulation, the
earlier ASCAT passes showed a very small area of tropical-storm-
force winds - only 30 nm radius. The official size forecast is
based upon the RVCN - variable consensus technique.

Ese día 4 lo quiero ver!
