Tropical Depression #5 / Ernesto
 
Surprised no one else posted about this..

per the track maps it will be in the gulf mid-next week.

map shows it quite a ways away from the area, but i'm sure we should see some increase in winds..

plus.. they have it coming straight off the west point of Cuba... and we never really know how this thing might get spun once it hits the open water..

It is in open water, the caribean sea :o between PR and SA

unlikely it heads our way enough to give us much more than 10-15 winds. Hey, I'll even take that! :lol:

Ernesto? WTF! Should have been named "E Bone."

BigR.. track shows it clipping Cuba ..
if it does, doesnt that throw a lot of variables into the mix? its all over my head but i remember last year some storms taking unexpected turns coming off land.

then again.. the track could be wildly off and it doesnt come this way at all...

NOT Too many models show it coming near to us

We'll see, but Mex or TX look like more likely, Thats if it even survives


OHhhhhhhh geeez, I really need to try out that new Contra..............

What , did everyone just buy new kites? is that why we're being punished with no wind?

bryanleighty 08-25-2006 11:13 AM

damn.. i love how all those models predict something so different..
i mean.. we know its heading WNW .. but the models are all hundreds of miles off each other..

basically.. no one knows what could happen.

thumb twittling time.

Basically what the forecasters are saying is that the stronger it becomes the more of a right turn it'll take and the weaker it stays the more of a left hand turn it'll take

I'm hoping it'll get a lil' bit stronger :o :shock:
