....it's good to see there's still a fair amount of westing in Polo's projected path,,but if Odie reminded us one thing,,,it's just how fickle these
storms can be,,and weather forecasting is a largepart guesswork
''On the forecast track, the cyclone will pass
well south of the southern Baja California peninsula. The confidence in the track forecast is relatively high''

hurricane central did a good job of explaining why odile took the path it did. the high pressure system over mainland mexico shifted to the east a bit
which shifted its perimeter from west of baja to right over it. this is the path odile followed. same set up now for polo. if the high remains where
it is, the perimeter is weell west of baja. however, if it shifts east-like with odile- then it could be trouble. hopefully it will stay where it
currently is and polo will track west of baja...

baja goes...hahaha. |
Ah Shari, Luv Ya! Have a safe journey home.
Me, I am going to continue to watch from afar. San Miguel de Allende is pretty darn cool and comfy about now. Besides, I talked with the kids today,
they got it all handled. Hopefully, things will be somewhat in order when I am due to fly home Oct. 8th.

i was curious so looked at archives of NHC hurricane forecast:
sept 10 NHC forecasted coming ashore at cabo
sept 11 and 12 NHC forecasted it staying off shore
sept 13 NHC forecasted it hitting cabo
sept 14 it hit cabo
the many lessons learned: forecasts 2 to 4 days out may be right or may be wrong, wtf knows what mother nature will do?? forecasts 1 day out are
better. the weather does not behave according to forecast. the forecasts and warning envelope of forecast maps are based on probabilities. mother
nature does not behave as the statisticians and meteorologist say she will. do not plan a vacation in hurricane country during hurricane season
(anyhow, it's much too hot to travel in baja during hurricane season, eh?). wish for the best, prepare for the worst.

from the NHC website:
the forecast cone around forecast hurricane track is based on "two-thirds of historical official forecast errors over a 5-year sample" and "Based on
forecasts over the previous 5 years, the entire track of the tropical cyclone can be expected to remain within the cone roughly 60-70% of the time."
what you all should probably read in that: the forecast track lies within a cone. 30 or 40 percent of hurricanes will take a path that deviates
outside the cone.
what do you think about those warning cones around hurricane tracks?
