(58,785 posts)Pulling up a factor of interest, such as swell, and then tapping a location of interest on the map brings up the current prediction for that.
SmirkyMonkey, hope you get good news before long about your friend and her family. Evacuation of 5 million people. Just wow. Those long shelter lines on the TV do not look fun, but...

(620 posts)wind speed just outside the eye at 47mph.
And on a somewhat lesser note, do you see a choice for "mb" in the settings for pressure?
Thanks for any help.
And thanks for posting this to begin with. I really like the animation and the other features I looked at.

(620 posts)Edit: I'm using the mobile app. Maybe there's an issue with it vs the desktop version.
No way this is the wind in the NE quadrant.
And much higher winds than this are coming onshore.

(7,107 posts)As a sailor and boater, I use it often. I love the visual representation. It's not perfect but neither are the NOAA marine forecasts.

(3,769 posts)Be sure to switch to imperial scales unless you're super science-y knots to miles per hour... millimeters to inches ... meters to feet etc

(3,231 posts)I'm in North Carolina and if you go far out to the 18th they show Jose right on the outer banks, but other sites are showing it going further to the east. Have you seen other models showing it hitting the east coast?
bluepen
(620 posts)Best thing to look for is the cluster.
And actually, the official NHC track that comes with advisories is the best thing to watch. The official track forecast is based on models, but models can be hard to read. (Four instance, there is still one model showing Irma going to New Orleans. That's an outlier. Not going to happen.)
You're rightthe best guidance has Jose going much father east.

(17,340 posts)I haven't been following a lot of other models.
This one is, I believe, based on European modeling which would seem to be the most accurate.

tracking west.
Their models are better, he said.

(51,623 posts)The eye goes right over that area at Sunday, midnight. I am hoping it continues to go west and stays a little off the coast until it gets to the panhandle.

(9,273 posts)Now evacuated to a motel in Orlando with clients and co-workers (he works at a health care facility). Praying he has an apartment to go home to and that his cat is ok, he could not take her with him. Left her with plenty of food and water. Looks like it may not be as bad for S Fl as originally thought.

This model shows wind speeds over the Treasure Coast area remaining at or below 50mph, which - accurate or not - at this point is a tremendous relief. We're as prepared as we can be, shuttered up and in good stock of provisions.

(14,565 posts)I particularly appreciate that you can switch from model to model and get an idea of the forecast wind speed for a specific location from each model.
Some of the models tonight indicate a small shift more eastward as the turn begins...somewhat inland instead of off the coast.
