I assume it was considerable as it was a Cape Verde storm We probably get an average of like 2 additional days of weather predictability now compared to when Gloria happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is I think that ended up being a "closer call" after the fujiwara Anyways what makes me nervous about this is the lead time to warn people may not be very much..not saying anything major is going to happen but this is a perfect place to bring up the topic. If/when we do get a big hit...the chaos alone is going to be disastrous. You would hope there could be a good 7-8 day lead time...but realistically the lead time may only be 3-4 days...that's just not enough. Don't you worry Wiz, there will be plenty of lead time for whatever materializes. Truly Big hits are so rare here, it's really not an issue around here. And with Social Media, and the internet now, the word gets out just fine. If this looks to be an issue, the news/internet/twitter/ etc etc will be buzzing.

OSUmetstud Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 UKMET is out at 33.5, -72.2 about 250 NM off the coast of NC at the end of its run (144) and has a strong, large hurricane. Looks to me it would make a slow escape northeast from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not. 6 days from Carol's development to landfall, more like 3-4 days for Bob. People will get warning either way.

Nevermind a 1938 redux, just a strong Cat 1 woupd be real bad. On my return trips up north I marvel at the Tree Canopy over the roads and the damage a storm would cause. A strong CAT 1 would cause extensive power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah model forecasting has improved, but human forecasting? haha Besides, let's say hypothetically we have a hurricane in the bahamas and it shoots north at 30, 40, 50mph? ...There's only perhaps 1.5-2 days max distance to travel. You can only get so much extra lead time, even with improved technology and forecasting techniques. I know Harvey has made that point before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yeah a surprise storm is virtually impossible. You're not gonna see 700 people get killed from a hurricane blowing in on an unassuming summer afternoon. The real surprise will be when we actually get a legit cat 2-3 landfall and not some rapidly disintegrating swirl with gusts to the sixties. Then all those people who have been conditioned to expect false alarms in New England will be unprepared and will suffer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 35 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: I think a “surprise” hurricane would be near impossible with today’s technology. First, once guidance had a well defined center it’d improve overall forecasting. Second, going from nascent core to hurricane to landfall in SNE would be hard. There would be a time lag between a closed core and winds coming up to hurricane force, not to mention being strong enough to survive the slingshot north. If a hurricane were going to visit, I think we’d get at least 72 hours of notice. The only way I could see a surprise would be a significant west trend for a Dorian like track, but even that would likely happen over the course of successive model suites over a day or two, not 6-12 hours out for example. Just think ... There was once a time when it was absurd to think of the world as round. There was once a time when it was absurd to think of contraptions that could fly. There was once a time when it was absurd to think of going to the moon. Just like it is now absurd to imagine any technological reality where weather prediction has become a thing of the past. Why, ...because of the advances in Quantum sciences leading to atmospheric momentum guide technologies... Yes, in addition to circumventing the Light Speed limit as described by General Relativity ... a nifty ancillary "precipitant" ( haha ) ability is the advent of the "weather modification net." A global systemic control that dictates the rain and sun cycles around an idealized application that ( of coure) falls well short of any reason for worry. Completely banal and uninspired garden watering, followed by utterly dependable utopic mixtures of sun, clouds andtepid air. That's what everyone wants. If such a reality were to envelop the world tomorrow - just supposin' for a second. .. - I wonder. About how long do we think this ilk of social media would continue to depot internet pass-time ? Oh... I give it a two years... By then, then, most that sojourn the past will finally have grown tired of reiterating the same sagas. And the newer generations that never knew of a world that weather-mattered, having socialized their interest elsewhere, will no longer matriculate in and interest will have extinguished ... just like everything that exists in a Universe intrinsically limited by finite time - including ... the Universe its self - eventually does.

Typhoon Tip Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 It's not a typical pattern... There's not very much climate -based precedence for getting a hurricane up this far N comparing the totality of the synoptic evolution of either this 00z, the 12z ...or their blended solution(s).

I think some of you are in a fantasy land when it comes to this stuff. I get the whole Drama/Dramatic idea, but in October 2011, Most of CT/lots of Interior SNE was without power for a Week to two weeks. It sucked. It wasn't fun, but it was not a Catastrophe, or a disaster of Epic proportions like we see in the Bahamas. There's not going to be a 38 redux with regard to Surprise like some seem to think. Heck, it'd be tough to get a storm of that magnitude up this way ever period...let alone on a surprise. Those days are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Assuming it wobbles N up the coast spanning three languid days as the ridge lobes over top like that - big if ... - that flatter correction of the Lakes trough takes New England out of the running anyway. Might be more of a swipe up Nick's way in this type of solution... but, this one ain't stickin' either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
