Windspeed Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like 90 kts will be the peak for Oscar as the core is deforming. Should be slow but steady weakening, then transition to a powerful extratropical cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Monthly Atlantic Tropical Weather Summary 000 ABNT30 KNHC 011148 TWSAT Monthly Tropical Weather Summary NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 AM EDT Thu Nov 1 2018 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: October was above average in the Atlantic basin. Three named storms formed during the month, with a fourth (Leslie) beginning in September and carrying over into October. Three of these storms became hurricanes during the month, and one became a major hurricane. This compares to October averages of two named storms and one hurricane every year, and a major hurricane about every third year. In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the combined strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity in the Atlantic basin thus far in 2018 has been above normal. The season has already had 7 systems that were subtropical at some point in their lifetime, which eclipses the previous record of 5 in 1969. Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at the National Hurricane Center website at www.hurricanes.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2018&basin=atl .

Windspeed Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 A tropical wave located about 700 miles east of the Lesser Antilles continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Significant development of this system is not expected during the next couple of days due to strong upper-level winds. However, these winds are forecast to lessen by Tuesday, and a tropical or subtropical cyclone could form during the middle of next week while the system moves near or north of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
