I don’t see why it won’t reach at least 30 ACE units and could see as many as 50-60.

Perhaps I didn't spot it, but how exactly can you change your vote? I don't see a button for it or anything like that.

The box to the left you put the checkmark on the option you want to vote and take the other off.

Larry has generated 3.7525 units of ACE so far. Should the current NHC forecast verify, this number will be close to 30 five days from now

If shear isn’t as high as the ECMWF-based SHIPS says for the 4-8 day range, Larry could maintain Cat 4 intensity or undergo a second intensification phase over warmer and much more OHC-rich waters, which will bump up its ACE total even more. Even by sticking to the NHC forecast, it’ll surpass Teddy’s total of ~27 ACE.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Welp, with Larry about to get downgraded to a 110 mph hurricane im starting to feel very confident in my 26-30 ACE prediction 8-)
Edit: As I say this...NHC stick with 115 mph for Larry :wall:

It’ll be a close call between the 26-30 and 31+ votes. Larry isn’t looking very good this evening.
