Santa Claus Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 20 minutes ago, mempho said: In case anyone wants something fun to do over the next couple of evenings.... A good drinking game for major hurricane threads is to take a shot of tropical liquor (rum/tequila) every time someone uses the word "annular." Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk I can't blame them for getting excited, I have seen annular storms do a lot of goofy stuff over the years. I remember some stupid EPAC storm going over cool water with low shear and the NHC write-up specifically mentioned the chance of an annular transition. And then I wake up and the storm has gained 30 MPH and looks like an angry donut on IR. I want to say this was an early 2010s storm. Maybe the same year as Hurricane Hilary. But also Hilary was the name of a hot blonde girl I dated in HS. She was super annular. So I'm probably confusing these things. Also I have been drinking a lot.

mempho Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 We will never get through a major hurricane again without somebody mentioning annular.I think it took me 5 minutes of "catch-up" reading just from this evening to get to at least 5!Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickory Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Mods delete this if you want to. Look am not a meteorologist nor do I claim to be, but the consensus is getting clear. There is a constant east in the tracks. If the euro goes east again tonight then that's a sign. You have a powerful Hurricane that will tend to pull more to the north. Also given climo in perspective it wouldn't make landfall at all. Am looking at a cape lookout north landfall. I wouldn't be surprised if it just brushes the OBX and OTS. It's not making landfall in SC or south of cape lookout. You have to follow the trends and its east! Models will wobble back and forth every run, but look at the trend. I would bet $1000 doesn't make landfall west of cape lookout and am willing to put my honor and name to it. Rant over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the banter thread your safe here. To be fair that probably would have passed on the main thread. Were running in unprecedented territory with this storm so will just have to find out. I'm not willing to take a more southwestern landfall off the table until the 0z Euro has a say in this and even then I would be far from certain.

Santa Claus Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 All eyes will be on Florence through the end of the week but Isaac deserves some attention even barring an unexpected surge in intensity. There's nothing but warm water in front of it and any relaxation in the forecasted shear could seriously increase its potential strength, plus, it's basically on the on-ramp to the GOM after day 5.

BlunderStorm Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It would seem the GFS just can't decide exactly what it wants to do with Florence this run... The GFS was notably west of where it was in previous runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Normally don't join in on Tropical Discussions but wanted to wish everyone in the path of this monster to stay safe. We have family that live on the shore of Oak Island, NC just south of Wilmington and not looking very good for them right now. They are planning on evacuating by tomorrow morning at the latest. Also it appears that the EWRC is almost completed for Florence on the last few frames of the IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawdogGRNJ Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 What is causing the front / line of clouds that has formed to the west of Florence? I am curious as it is moving in a north westerly direction: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/GOES16_sector_band.php?sector=eus&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24 With Disturbance 1 pushing north, and a continuing easterly flow coming off of Florida, it seems to me that Florence would follow the front/cloud line I'm asking about. EDIT: had the air flow off Florida moving the wrong direction. Corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Maybe I'm forgetting but I don't recall seeing a storm with that satellite presentation before.
