ATL: GORDON - Post-Tropical

Re: ATL: GORDON - Hurricane
Hi There.
Everyone in the Azores is being informed about this storm. It´s not so unusual that big storms hit the islands. Rain seems to be the main concern because of local landslides.
You can check these webcams:

My last post stated how similar they were already and the two aspects I outlined were: CAT1 strength or over and an annular appearance, for Gordon to be nearly the same...fulfilled!!
They share the same intensity in the region. And in the Azores, the center will pass very close to the 2006 track. A bit surreal

Re:
105 MPH??? I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! And what's this about 102 knots and a pressure of 955.4 mbar? Does this mean we have a Category 3 hurricane?! Wow! I really need to eat my words about what I said in my earlier posts!!!

Re: ATL: GORDON - Hurricane
It would be appear St Maria Island the southeastern most island (please correct me if i am wrong on the geography) will experience the worst conditions based on the current forecast track. Almost 100% chance of sustained tropical storm force winds...
and a smaller but somewhat increasing chance over time of sustained hurricane force winds depending on track. The wind field on the right side (in this case the south side) of the storm is bigger, so you definitely want the eye to pass to your south to lessen the impact some:

No, that is unofficial but a decent estimate. 95 kt seems like my best guess.

Re: Re:
Usually once a storm makes that turn to the north and east into the shipping lanes, the interest in it fades completely...boy, this is not the case with Gordon. I hope the storm freaks (like me) are not fixating on just what may happen with 94L down the road...what we have happening right now with Gordon now is what i love about this board...no one else would find this nearly as interesting as the folks here do!!! thankful for that!!!
At the same time, people in the Azores and even Europe could see significant impacts from this storm and I can say to those posting from the Azores and Portugal that there are definitely people in the U.S. aware of what you may experience and are sending you thoughts and prayers.

This is indeed an interesting storm! I hope the US media can pick up on it somehow, since this is certainly no fish storm...there is definitely land in the way!

That is definitely correct. Imagine one day can change the way people think about this season. Hurricane Gordon 2012 is really a family member of Hurricane Daniel 2012. And maybe Invest 94L may do something similar to those two hurricanes.

Re: ATL: GORDON - Hurricane
So, Gordon is now the strongest cyclone of the season and located so far north. I agree, it has been a very interesting cyclone and kind of unexpected, at least in terms of intensity.

Wow, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Portugal/UK (Gilbraltar) issued TS watch in the next 48 hours.
