Same thing they had Franklin doing for awhile, it's gonna be just like Franklin I can already tell.

08L data has been added to the S2K worldwide tropics page... http://tropicalupdates.nhcwx.com

Of course, the links will be pretty useless until the advisories come out. I'll get a tracking map loaded this evening.

With some recon flights scheduled, also check out http://tropicalupdates.nhcwx.com/recon.htm

This is like the guy missing the layup at the end of the game to pad his rebound numbers...

If it becomes a named storm it will be 8, but it is hardly worthy of a name, but rules are rules.

1) I believe it has the possibility of becoming a strong tropical storm...and possibly a hurricane (and it's definitely a threat to Bermuda).

2) even if it only reaches 40-45 mph for peak intensity....please realize, both in 1933 and 1995 there were also named storms which failed to reach 60 mph.

Just my 0.02¢ worth...

Agreed, especially 1933 - 9 storms 45KTs or less.

[Normandy]

Good cuz im really interested in why they are upgrading this (much like when they did with Gert).

[shaggy]

why hasn't NHC put out a special tropical disturbance statement? What is the HPC talking about as an open trough moving into the SE US and is it related to 92L lots of ifs right now and i guess we will have to wait and see what happens at 5pm.

well I for one am SICK of 70mph tropical storms! already we have had three! I hope TD8 either becomes a 40mph tropical storm or a 75mph hurricane or a 115mph major hurricane or a 160mph category 5 hurricane... and to remind people we have ALSO had TWO hurricanes come within 10 and 5mph of being declared category 5.

They won't issues a STDS since 08L isn't a threat to land for a little while.

I get a kick out of all the proclamations that TD8 will be a fish.....as if Bermuda is an unpopulated desert island.

[storms in NC]

some think if it is not going to the main land it is a fish. they don't think of the Islands

[sma10]

Tell that to the people who live on the islands

[jrod]

At least this one unlike Franklin has a decent amount of easterly winds and Florida will see some swell from this one.

[deltadog03]

bye bye, what could be harvey....

[x-y-no]

I have this vision of a six foot three and a half inch invisible rabbit menacing Bermuda.

[dwg71]

Most people's definition of a fish is one that does not make landfall on the east coast of US and recurves out to sea. No one is discounting what the people on the island are going through. People are insensitive jerks if they use the term "fish". ggaahhh... In Napoleon Dynamite's voice.

[Agua]

No, it has no connotation of disrespect for islanders. It is used simply to refer to a storm, from the perspective of a person who lives in North America, that recuves out to sea without impacting mainland North America. It has absolutely nothing to do with reference to people living upon islands and, hence, is not disrespectful towards them. People who think otherwise are simply reading something into it that isn't there.
