Don't Count Karen Out?
September 28, 2007Tropical Storm Karen is still quieting winding its way through the Atlantic, going nowhere in a big hurry. AccuWeather.com's Joe Bastardi thinks that Karen could hold on and eventually make a run for the U.S. Here's an excerpt from his Professional column:
The non-US midday model runs are very exciting indeed, as they are having Karen bust the trough and come west in the wake of the development that occurs early next week and comes north. It is interesting to note the GFS is WEST with the first system into the Gulf and, though taking Karen further west, still has a recurve off the East Coast (a far sight further west than 55 west, though, I think we can agree). However, the Karen west and stronger option is something we have had on the table now since Tuesday and, again, I reference the audience to tracks of past storms that have done this, having to fight the Atlantic trough but, once through, had an open field for mayhem.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo landed in Mexico as a category 1 hurricane. Storms seem to strengthen just off-shore now, like they're trying to get the jump on us...
