Atlantic Hurricanes

[Phil]

The pattern, as depicted verbatim, would definitely work to prevent recurves. Now, will anything spin up? That's the $64,000 question.

[OKwx2k4]

How is a 39 mph max, 1010mb "fish storm" named Chantal even news? In the old days, that was just called a storm. Lol.

Trying to bend for that "apocalyptic" uptick in activity they forecasted I suppose.

[Wxmidatlantic]

Looks like Carolinia. A ridge bump puts it into Norfolk. Dorian marches on...

[Mr Marine Layer]

There's a possibility Dorian never makes landfall in the United States.

[OKwx2k4]

Thank goodness. That's a bad thing for everyone. Glad that ridge has been pushed offshore in recent days. I hope it whiffs and gets out of here. Thing is a beast.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Not much movement at all recently.

 

[Andie]

5 mph moving at a snails pace. The Bahamas are being hammered.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Good to see than Dorian is finally moving to the north. It has also weakened to a Category 3.

[Thunder98]

Dorain wrecked the northern Bahamas, but was overhyped in Florida so far.

[Andie]

The images out of the Bahamas are jaw dropping. It's flattened and the bays look more like garbage dumps. No doubt the death toll will climb. If Dorian had passed over it might have been far less devastating, but it just sat there and churned

[Mr Marine Layer]

Lots of people have been misspelling the hurricane's name as Dorain, which would actually be a better name. It's now down to Category 2. Only light rain so far on Florida east coast.

Do rain...well, she nailed that part!

[Wxmidatlantic]

Massive increase in covection as eye wall redevelopes. Que James Taylor, it heading to Carolinia.

I posted this on the Great Lakes forum.

This Grand Bahamas Island after " Do rain"

 

[Mr Marine Layer]

How is the weather station in Freeport still functional if the airport is underwater?

[OKwx2k4]

I guess "Sir Rainsalot" aka Dorian is a himmicane not a herricane. Lol.

My bad, my bad. Dang unisex storm names.

Either way, this has got to be the most watched hurricane in US history by now. I don't think anyone who knows anything will forget it in our lifetimes. Pretty incredible and that is in no way making light of the unspeakable tragedy and devastation this beast has left in its wake.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Dorian down to a Category 1 now, but still could make landfall on parts of North Carolina tonight.

[Wxmidatlantic]

Looks like Cape Hatteras. Norfolk getting tropical storm force winds. A little blowing foam on the bay. Oh those memories.

[Mr Marine Layer]

After hitting Cape Hatteras, Dorian is headed back out to sea.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Dorian is moving NE at 17 mph. That is the fastest movement so far.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Looks like storm surge is still increasing even as Dorian moves offshore.

[Wxmidatlantic]

An aside: For those who have never been at sea, or been on shore during storms. As the sea churns it produces foam. If the wind blows hard enough, it blows the foam about.

I love that. One of my favorite things about a stormy day on the beach (until it gets in your mouth, lol).

[Wxmidatlantic]

NGU is naval air station Norfolk. The largest Naval Air Station in the World.

Tryng to get to the point.

[Mr Marine Layer]

So will Dorian be a goner after passing through Newfoundland today or will the remnant low hit Europe?

[OKwx2k4]

I've been wondering that also. I know some of our hurricanes become their notorious autumn storms under the right conditions, so I guess we'll see.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Finally the sustained winds are below hurricane force at 65 mph. They are now saying the next hits could be Iceland and the UK.

[OKwx2k4]

Don't look now, but GFS is advertising another EC major in the long range. It's a brute.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Remnants of Dorian and Gabrielle could team together to bring some nasty weather to the UK this week.

Tropical Storm Elsa hit Florida and moved up the northeast coast.  At the moment, it doesn't appear that there are any substantial systems developing.  There is some storms off the coast of Africa, so we will see if those develop into anything.

Ida is now forecast to hit Louisiana as a major Hurricane.

Thought this thread was dead. Didn’t see this post until now.  

[NWbyNW]

Luckily Hurricane Ida, while bad, doesn't appear to have been as devastating as some had predicted.  Still, 700,000 without power.  At the moment, there is no known losses of life.  Let's hope that remains.

The main thing going forward for the region will be power outages now and rainfall (and where that water is going). 

[NWbyNW]

Read in a news report that more people died in the northeast from Hurricane Ida's aftermath than the known 40-ish people who died along the Gulf Coast.  That is nuts.

Why did the pictures show it already over the land?

Because it is a projection of the depression as it goes over land.  This wasn't an alert for the hurricane hitting the Gulf states. It was for after that.

That's not good news. Also, your avatar is a downvote. 

[Andie]

2022 Hurricane Season is about here!

“Forecasters from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center are predicting 14 to 21 named storms, 6 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale). These numbers are greater than the 30-year averages (1991-2020) of 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes. 
 

Warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea, as well as an enhanced west African monsoon also factored into the NOAA prediction.”
-NOAA 

It promises to be a busy hurricane season

It was nice knowing y'all.
