Wouldn't be surprised if we break them both and breakout tomorrow.
Ike has 946 mb pressure... dropping rapidly... north of where the models progged... once an eye forms this is gonna go fast
That's because everyone has discounted Ike, assuming that the NHC forecasts will verify and it will hit unpopulated southern Texas. People haven't learned that the NHC track forecasts are virtually never right. Once the forecast starts shifting back north and Ike starts to restrengthen in the southern GOM, people will start paying attention again.
I'd say any hurricane play would do well... Ike should get VERY strong in the GOM. If it threatens Houston as a major hurricane, it will be a big deal.
Most models were forecasting the ridge to build stronger and discounted the shortwave trough. The sw trough now looks like it will dig deeper and the ridge will not have as much power to push Ike to the west... Look for models to start trending north. Decisions are going to need to be made in Houston SOON.

Models shifting back north... shortwave dipping down from the Rockies - Galveston/Houston not out of the woods

Especially with the boundary interaction set to occur while in the GOM... Similar situation to Beulah and Katrina...

NWS CORPUS CHRISTI
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WITH AN UPPER RIDGE OVER
THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ROCKIES IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO
THE PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE BEULAH BUT THAT BEULAH
WAS MOVING FROM A LOWER LATITUDE THAN WHAT IKE IS CURRENTLY.
ALL IN ALL...IKE DEFINITELY BEARS WATCHING!

Yes and what did THIS refer to? Go back and look at the graphic. That did not pan out. It is currently weakened near Cuba. Its entry into the GOM has been delayed and so has its strengthening... Likewise the run of the HURRICANE stock has been delayed to when this storm is threatening to the US. My post was accurate and it stands... THAT is not happening so we did not run. Get it?
Ike south of Cuba now... not many steering currents in the Gulf... slow moving storm... heading NW (historically more favorable to storm strengthening than a N heading)... boundary interaction set to occur this week - has historically caused storms to grow in size (katrina, carla)... People are going to be racing to get back into NSMG when there is a cat. 4 or 5 bearing down on SE texas.
It probably wont even be a factor for the U.S. by the time its in the gulf.
Dumb statement
With THIS occurring on Monday, NSMG will go down? I don't think so.
No chance this will go down Monday. Gustav is going to look like a walk in the park on Monday when Ike is bearing down on South Florida or the Florida Keys with a possible entry into the Gulf of Mexico as a major hurricane UNLIKE Gustav. Wind shear set to relax within 24 hours and a possible pass over the GOM Loop Current. This storm is no Gustav. NSMG has an office in Florida as well. Nobody is in this stock for the fundamentals of the company. We're all here because it is hurricane season and the climax of why we've put money in this stock is approaching early next week.
NSMG ran above .05 with Gustav... Ike is looking scary and will hit in the middle of the week... unlike Gustav, which hit on a long weekend and scared a bunch of investors off. Easily getting above .05 with Ike.

18Z run of the models pointing towards the Gulf now... geez can't get a break
