I wish they would hold back reports and not release partial reports. It seems it doesn't motivate CPHC (which has fewer staff) to do the work - the 2014 reports are not completed yet.

I'm thinking about the Joaquin TCR (probably won't be out until early 2016) - didn't the remnant low actually show (sub)tropical characteristics off the coast of Portugal? So maybe Joaquin will show up as reborn around October 11-14?

Grace report out. Bumped up to 50kt to coincide with mid-level eye on microwave.

Given the split in Dvorak and the AMSU data, I'd have gone higher - 55 or 60 kt.

It's going to take a while to get them all done, I would think Patricia will be the last one - probably not until February at least (except for the CPAC ones which are likely dependent on workload).

With the spurt that is going on I won't be surprised if it's already done in January. I would also raise the intensity for Kevin to 55 knts due to the eye feature it was forming and the fact it was a small storm.

Got my eyes on moving right into Hurricane Alley: Florida.

In my mind, Joaquin will be interesting...and not so much for what happened in the Bahamas. I'm thinking it might get a second life as a (sub)tropical storm right off Portugal around October 13.

I'm thinking once the CPHC gets to doing it, there might be an upgrade to Hurricane Nora.

TD 16E is out.

So they didn't upgrade to TS status :/ I see their reasoning though.

Erika's report is taking an awfully long time.

I think Alex might put a slight delay on the release of the rest of the Tropical Cyclone Reports. :P

Is it me or do the reports take longer to come out every year?

Some thoughts about Joaquin:

* Although the SFMR supports Cat 5, no other data does (i.e. pressure, satellite signature, flight level winds, dropsondes) and it might have been transient in nature. 135 kt seems reasonable, although 130 kt could also be justified.

* I like how the NHC mentioned the communications difficulties and how they used the "key messages" to speak out. It should be standard practice when there are such challenges in the forecast, or when a severe hurricane is threatening (i.e. starting 48 to 72 hours out but before any watches are necessary). With some storms like Sandy, they should start as far out as 4 or 5 days away.

* I think the portion from October 11 to dissipation should be reviewed. I think that it may have been a (sub)tropical storm, and not extratropical, off the coast of Portugal, looking at the structure and phase analysis. Hence, I would consider that it became a TC once again at 1200Z October 11, until dissipation.

I believe you can submit this to the Reanalysis Project: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/sub ... lysis.html
