Here comes Ernesto

Well it is Saturday morning, and I am up bright and earlier. I guess that is because I slipped out of Jenifers party early last night. I think I started drinking a little too early lol. I had fun though, but was not really in the mood to head out to the clubs with all of them. But the good thing is, I did get to bed before midnight. However, prior to bed I think I promised Angie that I would go to Edmonton September long weekend and go skydiving with her.....hmmm....So i guess I will be skydiving next weekend.

As for today. I think I am going to clean the house a little, and possible shampoo the carpets. I also want to go to Pisces pet store and get some more stuff for my Aquarium....maybe even a new fish. And pretty much relax, as I have decided to go into work tomorrow in order to ensure that everything is ready for my External Safety Audit on Monday. I am a little stressed about the whole thing, but I am also hoping I pass.

On the Weather front, Ernesto was named yesterday and seems to be getting bigger. His pressure has dropped below 1000 milibars, actually it was 999 this morning, so we will will have to keep an eye on that over the next couple days. Again we will have to keep in mind the "Hurricane Graveyard" that we spoke about before. He is still a Tropical storm, but the computer models predict she will become a hurricane in the next 48 hours. He is running into a bit of shear, so he is also slowing down, but many of those computer models also put her into the center of the Gulf of Mexico by midweek. Once He is there he will run into very warm deep water, and then it is just time before he turns and makes a line towards land.

I will post a couple images for everyone. As usual the accuweather Hurricane image with its caption and commentary. The GOES Project Science image (awesome) these images are from a new satellite and are fucking awesome. And the last is the Accuweather Forecast EYE path, which is always a good one to look at. It is pretty elementary in form, but usually is pretty accurate in the near term. But as you will see, the long term predictions are a bit harder to forecast. As the storm gets closer to the USA, Accuweather will usual update and alter the path daily. So here you go.



Just a quick edit here, I am going to use the National Hurricane Centers....Prediction model from now on, instead of the Accuweather version....for as you can see, it is better model.

And yes folks, for those of you who do know your way around the souther united states. And although it is a long term prediction, these models do seem to point the storm in the general direction of New Orleans, so lets just hope she takes a turn in the Gulf. I do like a good landfall, but landing in New Orleans would definatley not be good.
