All these storms seem to always move near the Caribbean then turn north to northeast.
ALTHOUGH NOT EXPLICITLY INDICATED HERE...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT
GASTON COULD REGENERATE INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THIS IS THE SCENARIO THAT IS BEING SUGGESTED BY SOME OF THE
GLOBAL MODELS.
I think Earl is weaking and has a slightly eastward track, so effects for some of you may now be at a minimum or not at all. Still, though, I guess we have a powerful storm brining powerful conditions to NC.
According to CNN's Chad Myers, aircraft reported wind speed of 177 mph in the eyewall of the storm, which means winds of at least 145 mph at the surface now, although not officially in the advisories. It will be interesting to see wind speeds are officially upgraded at the 11:00 PM EDT advisory, or with a special statement sooner.
Like I said earlier, Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod are the two places that will most be affected along the East Coast. Hurricane Earl is back to 135 mph winds again after briefly weakening earlier.
Atlanta obviously doesn't surprise me. In fact, I'm surprised these BETA testings don't start in Atlanta. Do they want to try different US cities to avoid favoritism or the same view from the same city all the time.
Do you think watches or warnings will be issued for NJ?
The only problem I have with that is if were still transitioning into a La Nina phase, winters are usually the opposite here mild and dry unless La Nina stays weak during the winter.
Alexandra mentioned they dispatched 7 teams to the east coast... So far, I can guess: Jim, Mike Bettes, Mike Seidel, Steph, Jeff Morrow, Julie Martin... but who else would they send out? I'm predicting they may send out Chris Warren and Scott Williams too.
Well, you got six.My guess for the 7th would either be Al or possibly Paul...he's reported in the field recently.
All three were doing field reporting this past winter so it would make sense.Currently, Fiona looks like a disappointment. Projected paths are showing this thing to be no more than a tropical storm that will end (before Earl) by Saturday afternoon. Shear? What's keeping this storm from intensifying any further?
