Tropical Storm Noel Moves Away From Cuba

Which is he going?

Reminds me of a great old song about where you going billy... but for some reason my mind is focused on the news of Robert Goulet's death... probably because I'm a drama major from way back and he was at one time the real king of broadway, well... king of the men with great voices and a presence... eyes, spirit...unreal... Howard Keel may have had a greater voice (maybe) but I think Robert Goulet in that place and time was the best stylist on Broadway... so a ton of songs go spinning through my head while I watch the weather loops and listen to the wild wind this morning ...

Long on thoughts and short on time.. what a shame.
Have to straighten my bangs and get my make up and figure out what I am wearing today because here in windy Miami... we may have weather but we have work ;)

Great loop for watching the showdown between the front and the storm..

So.... after reading the 5am discussion by the wonderful Jack Beven I want to give my thoughts back on that...

1... its not moving very fast

2... they expect shear to lighten up?

3... they aren't sure its movement or reformation of the center (???)

4... this was great reading

4 doors.. pick the lady or the tiger

THE FIRST...SUPPORTED BY THE NOGAPS...THE GFDL...
AND THE HWRF...IS FOR NOEL TO RECURVE INTO THE WESTERLIES AND
BECOME A STRONG EXTRATROPICAL LOW OVER THE NORTHWESTERN ATLANTIC.
THE SECOND...SUPPORTED BY THE GFS...IS FOR AN EXTRATROPICAL LOW TO
FORM OFF THE FLORIDA COAST WHICH ABSORBS NOEL. THE THIRD...
SUPPORTED BY THE UKMET...IS FOR AN EXTRATROPICAL LOW TO FORM OFF
THE FLORIDA COAST WITH IT AND NOEL MOVING NORTHEASTWARD IN TANDEM.
THE FOURTH...SUPPORTED BY THE ECMWF...IS FOR AN EXTRATROPICAL LOW
TO FORM OFF THE FLORIDA COAST AND A WEAKENING NOEL BEING DRIVEN
SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE CARIBBEAN BY THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST WILL FOLLOW THE FIRST SCENARIO...WITH NOEL
RECURVING INTO THE WESTERLIES DURING THE NEXT 24-36 HR AND THEN
ACCELERATING NORTHEASTWARD.

Interesting, glad they are SURE the front will grab it..

Personally, I would think he would be moving NW towards the front right now... just my thought but time will tell... even if Robert not Jimmy is on my mind this morning.

Take care all..and may all your dreams come true..
not my favorite and old quality but... will look for others later ...
