Title: Hurricane Lisa
Post by: Mike M on September 18, 2010, 09:52:46 PM
Another disturbance has formed west of Cape Verde, and has a 40% potential of becoming a tropical cyclone. Thunderstorm activity has been increasing in this system today so this is something we should keep an eye on.

Here are what models show. Although still way too early to tell, the east coast of the US should still monitor this.

Did somebody build a huge brick wall out in the Central Atlantic and were not aware of it?  :P

Honestly, that's also how I'm feeling with all these storms. :wacko:

While this tropical depression will become Lisa soon, it poses no threat to the United States for the foreseeable future as it's moving slowly northward in the forecast track.

Tropical Storm now. Not expected to do much of anything for a good 5 days or so

Tropical Storm Lisa is strengthening with winds of 45 mph now, and NHC believes it could become a hurricane over the next few days.  It'll slowly drift northward then westward over the forecast period as it's just south of a big high, which is why the steering currents are so weak aloft.

Thanks for explaining that, I was curious as to why Lisa was moving so erratic now and further down the road.

Lisa's path over the past couple of days is making me laugh...she's going to make a big circle. :blink: :rofl:

And, as of now, according to the NHC's projected path, Lisa won't be anywhere near hurricane status for the next five days...in fact, she is going to die off. :yes:

This storm reminds me of almost every storm in 2009

Lisa has weakened to a depression but is expected to restrengthen later today. However, the storm is expected to lose its tropical characteristics by Tuesday.

As of 11:00 AM, Lisa is located a couple hundred miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, tracking east at 2 mph. She's not expected to do much to anything besides dump some rain on the islands. Her maximum forecasted wind speed is 45 mph, and she should become extratropical early Tuesday morning (reiterating what Mike said).

OK guys, come on, we really need to rename this thread Hurricane Lisa and keep it active...just kidding. :P

After a sad beginning, Lisa is surprisngly now a hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 75 mph. However, it will probably have no affect on any land, certainly not the US.

Poor Lisa. The storm nobody cares about :P

Well, the hurricane nobody cares about has made it to 80 mph winds.  However, it's almost out of time for any strengthening as wind shear is going to increase over it soon as it heads towards cooler waters.

Back to a TS now and beginning its decline

Lisa is down to 45 mph winds.  Unless it has one more surprise left, it's just about over for this storm.  By the way, Mike, I want to keep the subject title as a hurricane for Lisa to remind me what's the strongest point each storm reached along the way for summary purposes.  It also helps us match up with the NHC advisory archives.  Thanks! ;)

Okay sorry. I also decided to have the current category strength in the topic title to for when the storm is currently active (but would have removed it when the storm was over). I noticed you had removed that, but it was just an idea. :)
