ATL: GORDON - Post-Tropical

[WilmingtonSandbar]

I mentioned this in the TD7 post, but people should be careful calling that Gorden and this one Helene. this could very well form faster and become Gordon.

That will be an interesting race so to speak between the systems to see which gets the G and H.

That's amazing how great that system looks already! Thanks for sharing cycloneye!

That isn't a second system right to the south of 93L is it?

Until you can provide proof that it won't do the following, please don't call it a fish, especially without evidence.

1. Its going to track over Cape Verde and if it develops we would probably have an official landfall.
2. Even if it curves it could impact Bermuda in about 8 or 9 days.
3. Even if it doesn't effect Bermuda it could still impact Nova Scotia or Newfoundland in 10 to 12 days.

No,is part of ITCZ.

Of the 31 storms to have ever formed within 200nmi of 93L, three monsters have gone on to US landfall: Cat 2 Able (South Carolina in 1952), Cat 3 Dora (Jacksonville in 1964), and the 1947 Ft. Lauderdale hurricane, which was a Cat 4 at landfall.

So.... Se Hits? Odds are still low, but it will be fun storm to track nonetheless.

I wouldn't put to much faith into that observation. Given true, the years have shown it is likely to fish out to sea, but seems like we have been breaking or surpassing 20-30-50 year meteorological records of many kinds. You really never know. Still keepin my close eye on invest

It is pretty rare for the actual Cape Verde Islands to get a cane, could potentially get a TS at this rate.

were that map from ?

[Hurricaneman]

In the forecast contest forum I put up a poll on which one would become Gordon

IMO I think either one could, but this one is looking the best to do so

I agree it will be a hurricane I think and just bother the fishes its too far north unless it dives sw like td7 did yesterday

[brunota2003]

Interesting that DSHPS is actually stronger than SHIPS almost the whole time...how often does that happen?

[Weatherfreak000]

20N yeah....fish storm no but recurving seems a good possibility. What a circulation, it's nice to be able to watch beautiful storms like this.

Edit: can a pro met or otherwise find an analog for a 20N dipping southwest and causing significant damage to the US?

OSCAT pass made around 9 PM EDT.Impressive just emerging the coast.

Ike was at 20N dipped southwest into Cuba...

It all depends on how the pattern is at the time as system moves. Ike was caught south of a big ridge that sent him WSW for a while. We dont know yet where this is going nor what pattern awaits for the system down the road and the uncertainty for now will be facinating to follow.
