Drz1111 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Where are the professional mets who were bitching that this wasn't tropical? I have a bird dish for them to eat - unfortunately for them, it has a mess of black feathers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Kind of unexpected... but this does remind me of Epsilon in that sense. The overall cloud pattern is weakening in the latest images as it has done in previous days... it will be interesting to see if the convection increases again later tonight. I think what is most amazing is that a storm like this is happening in June, when 99.9% of the time, they occur beginning in late September through November/December.

U_Thant Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Bastardi wont be happy about this one. When checking out the ATCF, one would notice that the NHC has changed the previous intensities going back a decent amount of time. LOL, after his nonstop hissy-fit about it being named in the first place, he'd do best to bite his tongue for a while. Of course when has he ever worried about making himself look bad...

CoastalWx Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Where are the professional mets who were bitching that this wasn't tropical? I have a bird dish for them to eat - unfortunately for them, it has a mess of black feathers on it. It goes both ways. Its certainly not conventional and I was a little unsure of this storm to begin with, but the latent heat machine can do its thing when other processes are helping it out. An interesting storm regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Does Chris break the record for developing into a 100% tropical or subtropical hurricane at the highest latitude in the North Atlantic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Does Chris break the record for developing into a 100% tropical or subtropical hurricane at the highest latitude in the North Atlantic? Chris became a hurricane at 43.2° N to be precise, a good candidate for sure. That'd be a hard stat to verify though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickman Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hurricane #2 in 1971 became a hurricane at 46.0 N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmx Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Chris became a hurricane at 43.2° N to be precise, a good candidate for sure. That'd be a hard stat to verify though. 41.1N...43.2 was the longitude. Storm #2, 1971 (unnamed), became a hurricane at 46N and Candice '76 at 41.2N (there are other 'oldies', like storm #2 1855, but it was most likely that the early part of the track is missing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
