Intensification will be very slow because of the hugeness. But don't storms this big usually have very tight 50kt and 64kt radii?

HURAKAN wrote:Something good that I can find in all the bad. Because the system is so huge, it will have to struggle more to intensify than if it where a smaller cyclone. But, as always in life there is a "but," the system has a long way and lot of warm water to transverse. Thereafter, even it may intensify at a slower pace, it will be a major in a few days.

That's not good! :eek:

But no need to drool/hype all over this system now. Wait five days and we'll see if this is an Alex (1998) or Isabel (2003). (The first one fizzled but the second one, as we all know, strengthened rapidly.)

True, but Alex in 98 formed in July and it wasnt quite CV season yet. Conditions are very favorable ahead of this.

You can just make out an active LLC frantically spinning under the convection.

IR shows patchy convection.

My view of WV conditions west of 60* is powder keg.

I can agree that this is probably one of the most hyped up waves/TD's I have ever seen here. And for good reason.

There really wasn't a lull...our lull still featured tropical activity.

Franklin and Harvey were the lull, heh.

I think the audience has grown significantly on this forum and all are perched to watch systems. Mods can confirm the traffic on the board but I for one joined last year and I think a ton of people have also done so.

Seems to me that for EVERY system you will see major hype as people have discovered this site and its value for following storm development and the give and take between "guessers" like us and the pro Mets.

IMO, there is NO BETTER place to follow tropical systems than S2K; and the secret is out..
