I knew that disturbance in the GOM would develop, it was looking very healthy last night, I even saw the low level circulation beginning to develop.

The disturbance in the GOM is now Invest 91L, so it still poses a low threat of developing, maybe it will pull a Hurricane Humberto and rapidly intensify? It looks like a circlation is trying to develop if you ask me.

I think they may be so excited that the hurricane season has finally begun since it's been quiet and boring for so dang long now and to have 2 maybe even a third on the way is pumping them up, but like you guys said they shouldn't get big heads over this, neither one of those storms are going to hit soon.

I seems really odd to me though that the regional map is configured to show legit Int'l reports, but the metro map isn't.

I think that's because the regional maps were around WELL before the metro maps were added around the debut of HiRAD so it's able to get observations.

I can technically say that TWC is in Storm alert mode because they keep showing TS ANA HAS FORMED....on the BBOD and the Bill, Ana intros

It's kind of annoying that even tropical storms more than 5 days away from the U.S. will prompt TWC to focus primarily on the tropics.

Also, I wonder how strong Ana will be when it hits the United States. It looks like it will lose a lot of strength when it runs into Cuba.

If it can fight through the dry air in front of it (which is why it's having a hard time gaining strength) and can make it into the GOM it might at least get to a weak Cat 1 hurricane, she's a determined fighter, I had no faith in this thing yesterday becoming anything!

Tropical Storm Ana Storm Track (Updated)

Tropical Storm Bill Storm Track

Tropical Storm Ana seems to be taking a southern route of the forecast cone like I suspected.

Well these are all guesses based on long ranged models. Dont hold your breath on them. In fact the latest runs fizzles Ana but develops Bill while curving them off the east coast. Ana is a small system and i imagine GFS is having a hard time with initialization of it.

Although chances of development are low... been looking at this system off the FL coast. Seems to have fired up today

It looks good on radar too.

Sorry for the bump, but does anyone know or have a list of all the current IntelliStar flavors (you can exclude the ones for WUWA)? It seems like when I watch all these IntelliStar videos on YouTube, the screens shown and their order are never the same thing twice.

Also, was the Local Observations list discontinued?

AFAIK, The LO is still shown at :08 and :38 of the hour excluding during Day Planner and Weekend Now

I would pronounce it either way.

00z run of the GFS takes potential "Hurricane Bill" near Miami,FL (similar to Andrew) weakens, intensifies and makes a second landfall into the FL Panhandle.

That's nowhere near Miami, that's right just where Frances and Jeanne made landfall.

Now I'm really doomed.

Zach, DON'T PANIC. There's too many What If's w/ both of these storms, there's still a chance it could recurve out to sea, or hit Savannah,Ga, or brush up along the NE who knows 10 days ahead from now, the GFS isn't even picking up on Ana that I've seen.

Yep it's about to see some action. The tropical wave in the Caribbean has a potential to develop into Claudette but it's not very likely. Could bill, if it forms, hit the Northeast?

Right now, it's forecasted to go on the same path as Ana towards FL.

Just curious, but have you thought about using 16:9 to make these? It would look a lot better as if it was on an HDTV.

Maybe later on, it's still in Beta testing, there's a lot more stuff I'm working on like the animation, shrinking the titlebars, how it would look if going into Storm Alert Mode, etc.
