Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Danielle
« on: August 30, 2010, 06:23:58 PM »
Danielle is barely a hurricane with winds of 75 mph, and it's losing tropical characteristics right now.  Expect the last advisory to be issued for it later tonight.

Patrick, what does it mean when a tropical cyclone is considered "extratropical" or "post-tropical"? :dunno: Because on one of its projected paths a few days ago, NOAA projected Danielle to become an extratropical hurricane. How is this possible? :unsure:

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 :blink:) by Saturday afternoon. Shear? What's keeping this storm from intensifying any further? :dunno:

Wow, Earl is quite a beauty. :thrilled: This storm has gone beserk though, as far as intensity. Already a major hurricane, TWC (or I guess I should say the NHC) has this storm with winds as high as 145 mph by Wednesday afternoon. :o Now can anyone identify what is causing this storm to brush the coast and not make a direct hit? Is it a ridge of high or low pressure? :dunno: Because, although it may lose some intensity, direct landfall would be catastropic for the East Coast.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New Left Area on former HD LDL shows

Was the LDA re-added per viewer requests?

You might be right there, Mike. :yes: Now I don't see why viewers would prefer the LDA over the LDL, unless they really like the fact that the LDA provides slightly more information, like a radar. :thinking:

LATEST Information from the 11 PM EDT Advisory
Location: 17.9N 61.1W
Winds: 100 mph (Now a CAT 2)
Moving: WNW at 15 mph
Pressure: 971 mb

Still looks like it will barely brush the New England coast, but this storm is now quickly intensifying. :yes:

Must be a new addition to the set. I'm guessing the previous two icon sets didn't have an N/A icon for the intellistars.

That's strange...I know the previous two icon sets had a N/A icon, and it was used a lot on weather.com. Nice to finally see it on an IS, though. :yes:

From the latest projected path, it looks like Earl won't be making any kind of direct landfall in the US. :no: Its outer bands and wind effects will be felt by a lot of New England states, though. This storm is expected to become a major cat 3 hurricane, with winds of 130 mph by Tuesday afternoon. Probably hard to believe since it once was a tropical storm struggling to stay alive.

Here is TWC's projected path:



And, wow, I can't believe this topic is still called Tropical Storm Earl. :blink:

Earl is now a hurricane! As of 8 AM EDT (a while ago, actually), sustained winds are at 75 mph.

According to the latest projected paths, Danielle will no longer be making its big turn westward. :no: I guess some weather system that was going to re-direct it will no longer be doing so. Too bad, too, because I wanted to see where it would finally end up, either in Canada or Greenland. :(

Also, is Danielle still likely to hit the Titanic wreckage site? :dunno:

The zig-zag models are funny. I also like the orange model that just has to be different and track to the south. :P

These models and the current projected paths are providing for extreme suspense, though. The just stop right when they are very near the US, so it's hard to tell if Earl will turn north and east away from the US or make direct landfall as what will likely be a major hurricane on the east coast.

EDIT: Areas previously under Tropical Storm Watches/Warnings (the Leeward islands and Puerto Rico) are now under HURRICANE watches and warnings. Here is the latest projected path:



(Tavores...I'm sorry I beat you to it. :( :P)

Are those spaghetti models available on NOAA's website? :dunno: They're a lot better than the TWC ones; I neglected to look at them. :thinking:

Danielle has got the weirdest projected path right now. :blink: She just can't make up her mind on which direction she wants to go. :P You think the storm is going to keep going one way and then it drastically changes direction. I'm guessing Danielle will die out before hitting any land in Canada or Greenland, though, right? :unsure:

Here are the latest projected paths for Earl (from TWC and the NHC). If it continues to turn north and then northeast as it comes closer and closer to the US East Coast, then the East Coast will likely just receive the outer rain bands of the storm. But the NHC projected path looks a little ominous; what if it doesn't keep turning north and makes a direct hit on North Carolina and Virginia as a MAJOR hurricane. :o :thinking:

Love your graphic, Tavores! :biggrin: Both Danielle and Earl seem to be making a northward trend; I wonder if this will be the case for future Fiona and other tropical cyclones that form off the coast of Africa. :thinking:

1) Logout.
2) Instead of entering your information on the index page after you logout, click on the "Login" link above the boxes (I think it says something like Please Login or Register.) Click login, and below your username and password, check the box "Always stay logged in." Then enter your username and password and you're set!

Hope this helps. :)
