Hurricane Igor

[TWCToday]

I'm not ready to call fish storm on Igor yet, but that seems to be the trend with these Cape Verde storms. It's too soon she's only going 6mph. She ain't rushing to get anywhere anytime soon. I think it's gonna depend on whether or not another trough moves in over the Atlantic and Igor takes advantage of a weakness and curves on out.

Is Igor a she What a strange name anyway for a storm

He,she or both.

Well, to be technical, in this case Igor is a he since Hermine was a she(if you didn't know, the names alternate he/she).  I thought a couple weeks ago with a name like Igor, that's something to watch out for and it may be a scary one.

I know it's male to female alternating on this list, but the name doesn't sound that masculine to me imo and plus that was a simple mistake anyway.

Updated computer models:

Igor has weakened to a tropical depression with winds of 35 mph at 5 PM EDT.  It's fighting some shear at the moment, but the models forecast the shear to relax over the next few days.  It's going to be a slow developing storm.  Igor is way too far out in the Atlantic for any reliable predictions on the threat to land.

Statistically most storms that form here turn out to sea. That little devil circulation is hurting Igor. Its like a parasitic twin

models shifting a little south this eve....i think we may be in for it with this one and if not this one then if Julia forms in the carribian then it has almost 0% chance of NOT impacting the us could have a charley,Dolly,Dennis track possible

Igor is back to a tropical storm with winds of 40 mph at 11 AM EDT.  The shear is relaxing around it, so it should be able to intensify over the next 5 days.

Hmmm. Model watching time!

REGARDLESS OF THE
EXACT INTENSITY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT IGOR
WILL GROW IN SIZE...POTENTIALLY BECOMING A LARGE-SIZED HURRICANE THAT WILL LIKELY RECURVE OUT TO SEA.

From the current projected paths, I am seeing another Danielle or Earl. It's like deja vu.

Its a bit north of where Earl was when it was in this area. Perhaps a Danielle?
