If or when it becomes a tropical storm, it's name will be Gordon. Gordon has been on this list since 1994 after Gilbert was retired from this same list after the 1988 season.

Quite a bullish forecast from the NHC as far as wind speeds are concerned. Something must of changed with some of the global models since I was last on the computer over 6 hours ago. I completely agree with their track right now. :yes: The GFS (from the last run I saw) it had this tracking not too differently from Ernesto. (just a little more northerly)

Of all the memes that could fit in this topic, that, IMO, is probably the best one. :rofl2:

I think we need a like button on here. Or should I say, Me Gusta.  :rofl2: I agree with the thought though. I'm not that impressed either.

It reminds me of an old York Peppermint Patty commercial that saluted the Winter Olympics.

A couple are watching the ski jump on TV - the husband goes crazy as he describes the ski jump.

The wife turns to him and says "Lovely......you win the SILVER!"  and holds up the patty.    :dance: :biggrin:

Helene should be fun to track. (I say that seriously and sarcastically if it behaves anything like Ernesto did)

EDIT: I see NHC is going with the idea of a landfall in MX, but if it can manage to stay slow at strengthening for the next few days, that might not happen. It'll eventually feel the influence of a digging trough and get pulled N or even NE into the West/Central Gulf.
