CountDorkula Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Two additional Systems to keep an eye on. Jose which will be a hurricane by the end of the day and Katia forming in the Gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Its just a garden variety strong low. That's quite normal in the Bering Sea during the summer-winter transition. Surface winds are only 22 knots at Adak and Attu station, and the barometric pressure at Adak is 29.79, which is low, but not tremendously low. That area is the airspace that contains routes from NY/Chicago to Tokyo, and last evening the more northern routes were being used because of it. Coast out points were Nome and north instead of Anchorage to avoid it, but get a bit of the tailwind from it. By the way, you mentioned the Bermuda High, which is one of the semi-permanent weather systems on earth, This one is another, called the Aleutian Low, though it is usually further south. Icelandic Low and Pacific High are the other two. The naming of a storm depends on where it is. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific its a hurricane, In the Northwest Pacific its a typhoon and in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean its a cyclone. All the same thing. Thanx! I don't know how else I would have asked this and such a personal response! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Even though not Even know This one belongs in the Pet Peeve thread Have some compassion & vision. Don't you have an IT department to square away. We are making progress, at least you got what I meant. Now, though, the two words sound alike. As an IT Cop, would you buy "it was AutoCorrect." Program the damn machine better. Make it a just machine. "A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young..." Yeah... We all know I type on a message board like the God awful garbage, phonetically sounded words, slang that go through this coconut of my mind... If you want to call it a mind. But, you get the gist, nobody's perfect. You damn IT Cops, grammar police... You bums appear like Illinois Nazis, win your court case (Pet Peeve Thread) and you march: I hate Illinois Nazis... Hey, I have never disappointing since 12/2002. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Which means it may miss Cuba, which is very mountainous and would slow the storm. Instead it's taking aim at South Florida then maybe back out to sea across for a potential second landfall further up the East Coast Or churn to a mess smack up the barrel of the Floridian peninsula paradise and into the prison colony, Georgia and north. Come on Florida, take the hit for the rest of the coastline, what else can be done? Bill Gates get his weather machine online? Ramble much? Not nearly enough! :-) Cold fronts move pretty quickly, are mostly surface things, and it should move on. The cold front would block it, but not completely. More likely is that an upper level disturbance will steer it. Same as the comment someone made about Cuba. Cuba is mountainous, but very narrow, and this storm is massive. Cuba wouldn't do anything to it. To diminish, it needs to have it's energy source stopped, and that means land. Like staying up the gut of FLA? Right where the cone is pointing. Fastball right over the plate. Too bad we can't build mountains like they have in Taiwan to thwart typhoons. Instead, we have a cereal bowl named Okeechobee. That's another nightmare ready to pop!

Sig1Hunter Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Looks like the models are pushing the storm back to east of the Florida peninsula today. Any DC Tom, DC Dick, or DC Harry can be a weatherman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 1) There is no category 6 on the Safir-Simpson scale, 2) This is not the most powerful hurricane in Atlantic history. It's not even in the top-10. The most powerful in the Atlantic basin was Wilma, at <890 mb (883, I think, almost 50mb less than Irma). 3) It's forecast to weaken slightly, not intensify. 4) It's forecast to miss Miami right now. Given that the track has been slightly but steadily south and west of the forecast, it's likely to miss Miami by a decent margin. 5) For as long as you've been wallowing in idiocy as deep as this, how is it that you not died of stupidity yet? Not as measured by pressure, idiot, as measured by wind speed. It was actually the 2nd largest ever recorded on the planet, and only 10 MPH out of first place. That information is now about 20 hours old, so who knows what's up now. I'm in Palm Beach County but stopped following it every second... It'll change a lot before it gets near us anyway.
