ECMWF: Big storm in the Atlantic later this month

[futurebeachbum]

This storm has shown up for 3 or 4 days now on the ECMWF weather model.

Usually, when something hangs on for several days, it turns out to be pretty accurate.

It looks like it will track towards Bermuda. This is the predicted location for August 28.

August 28th is when we will be coming to the beach. But I'm not going to worry about it. Might be exciting to see a little weather from a tropical storm if it is not too bad. Don't exactly see where the system is though in this model. If that is it way to the east of Florida where the yellow and green is inside the circle then that is a good ways away.

Based on this mornings update to the ECMWF site, this storm is definitely coming to the Atlantic Seaboard. Looks like it will be moving very slowly. If it moves that slowly over the Gulf Stream it should build up a lot of strength.

It looks like this is just going to track up the Atlantic seaboard according to the projection path map I saw a little bit ago, and it appears to be more way out at sea than near land on that map.

According to the NHC there's another disturbance behind this one.

According to the ECMWF it will follow basically the same track. (in this image the second storm is the little blob east of Bermuda. The current storm is the big blob north of that.)

The other disturbance behind Danielle is now named Earl, is 520 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands and will reach hurricane status they say by Friday, is at 40mph now, and now there is another system behind it. they say it looks to be taking a more southerly trek.

There is another disturbance behind Danielle and Earl and the unnamed disturbance but this next one is over Africa.
