from Weather Underground at 2pm Track forecast Two major models--the ECMWF and NOGAPS--stubbornly refuse to develop Dean at all. These models are in great likelihood wrong. The GFS, UKMET, and new HWRF model all develop Dean into a hurricane that threatens the central and northern Lesser Antilles Islands Friday or Saturday. The big question is how strong the trough of low pressure predicted to pass north of TD 4 on Saturday will be. If the trough is strong enough, it may be able to pull TD 4 far enough north so that it misses the Lesser Antilles. Another big question is, will the trough spawn a cut-off upper-level low pressure system off the Southeast coast of the U.S.? If so, this feature could act to steer TD 4 on a more northerly track early next week, increasing the threat to New England and the mid-Atlantic coast. If not, a high pressure ridge is expected to build in, forcing TD 4 westward into Florida. It's far too early to know which of these scenarios might occur. In any case, there is a significant possibility that TD 4 will hit the U.S. as a hurricane, and possibly a major hurricane. This could happen as early as Tuesday August 21. Of course, Dean could also stay farther south in the Caribbean, as forecast by the UKMET model, and eventually track into the Gulf of Mexico.

I THINK NOAA HAS IT RIGHT. IT IS PREDICTED TO MAKE LANDFALL BETWEEN MEXICO AND NOVA SCOTIA AS A THUNDERSTORM THRU A CAT 10 STORM. WHY DO THEY PREDICT STORMS AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY BUT THEY CAN NOT TELL US 2 DAYS OUT WHERE IT IS GOING?

Now, has anyone considered or even researched how the impending storms affect the swordfishing... I mean, these critters have to know that something is going on WAY BEFORE we do and make their migration farther north or east or where ever...
Everyone has analyzed the track the storm and potential landfall, (DON'T GET ME WRONG, WORKING THROUGH ANDREW AND SEEING THE DEVASTATION IT DID, THIS IS NO JOKE BY A LONG SHOT .... I HAVE ALREADY TESTED MY 15k GENERATOR... JUST IN CASE)... but has any research been ever done on the swordfishing itself and how it may be affected from an oncoming storm.... (We all know the obvious...), but how about when the storm is 2K miles away... has it ever been considered that the bite might be slow as they anticipate something is not right... I also considered they can be down 2000 feet during the storm and will probably not be affected, but the minor changes that maybe they can recognize from far away... could that affect the overall fishing... even when the storm is out past the islands... Just something to think about....
