Hope Still Exists...

Not that I have any but one of the more level headed meteorologists made this comment tonight...

We need to get about another 36-48 hour. The problem is that the dynamics are still some 1000km W of the WC of N/A. Time and time again, we see abrupt model changes when the dynamics in question come over land and into the physical sounding grid (radio soundes as opposed to interpolation schemes or satellite derived soundings).

What that means is for the average Joe is we need to wait for the storm system which is currently out in the Pacific Ocean to come ashore where more accurate readings of the atmosphere can be taken. Then the models might make a correction to the storms path.

Those changes are usually for a northwest trend which in this situation should work in our favor. I hope he is right...
