Joe Bastardi's outlook from today:
WEEKEND FINGER FOODS.
1.) Typhoon recurve supports a cold shot down Plains, through the East, then out next week. A frost threat has to be addressed for the Plains through the Ohio Valley and interior Northeast next week with cool pool.
2.) Pattern pulse of development means more tropical menaces are in the cards with in-close development over the next two weeks as the ridge cranks again in back of amplification.
3.)Phillippe is doing a weird dance around Bermuda.
4.) Rita: NO CHANGES ON TRACK. LANDFALL NEAR GLS, THEN SLOW MOVE UP I-45 CORRIDOR. STORM TRAP SET AND BACKING SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD MEXICO TO FOLLOW. ANOTHER POST LATER, BUT MAJOR DISASTER SCENARIO MAY COME TO PASS...EVEN BEYOND THE OBVIOUS OF 930-950 MB HURRICANE HIT.
Ciao for now.
NHC has the landfall closer to the TX/LA border. Bastardi just won't let go of his landfall call, despite the mounting evidence to the contrary.
