Katrina Strengthening

[jlauderdal]

boca is right. You can only bend it so far before it breaks...90 degree water off FL coast with Low Pressure means business. Not to mention record breaking heat for the past 2 weeks and no rain...Tropical storms are Mother NAtures way of Releasing energy and i see no reason why she should not do it here...Prediction Stands CAT 1 in the Bahamas ready to roll over a 93 degreee Gulfstream as it heads into the Peninsula..

record breaking heat the last two weeks and no rain don't cause hurricanes.

Just TWO months ago, people were complaining about all the rain.

I don't see how people can complain about rain. It's our lifeblood.

If people don't like rain, they should go see how much fun it is living in Phoenix, under constant drought conditions. If droughts are permanent, are they really "droughts" anymore? Funny, I think I'd call that what it is....which is "desert"

Yeah thats true. I cant argue with that. Rain is part of our lives here in the tropics.

Like the post says I'm getting nervous about a tropical wave heading over us give me a break.Even if its a tropical depression it doesn't phase me.If its a cat1 hurricane that's different.Let it rain for 3 days we can use it.

I have been posting about the powder keg of 90 degree waters and lack of rain here as it relates to the remnants of TD 10 since it passed the Northern Leeward Islands. Seems like it has been for weeks!

Mother Nature has a way of balancing things out and last year Mother Nature gave us two hurricanes and 30" of rain in September!

Still, this thing has been threatening to develop, SHIPS has had it as a hurricane 5 days out for about the past 10 days; and we have not received raindrop #1 yet.

So, here's to hope that it remains a wave or TD at best and gives us a ton of rain to cool us off, cool down the ocean SST's a bit and then goes away.

NOT nervous at all about this system, only the chance that it does NOT bring us any rain and Mother Nature has "other" plans for us to balance things out......

anybody think a special tropical statement will be issued by the NHC this morning/today...? I see a depression today and Katrina shortly after maybe tomorrow?

Come on Chris; you already saw, in the TD 10..back again thread; that Luis said he would not be surprised to see a Special Statement about this today!

He did not make any mention about a name in a day..

[gatorcane]

Yes, I saw what Luis said but just look at the satellite pics to answer the question

It does look very impressive boca. Would not be surprised if TD formed by days end.

I admit boca-chris. I deserve a major serving of crow if this becomes a TD or even a named storm. But you are right. its moving soooo slowly and also over those warm warm waters off the Bahamas, they are what? Near 90F?

[gatorcane]

Here is what this system will have to work with ahead. Notice that the area she will be in has higher than normal SSTs

[WeatherEmperor]

Katrina if it can outdevelop 97L. otherwise it will be Lee. Who's gonna win the rat race?

If a Cat 5 is bearing down on Miami expect around 1-2 thousands posts per day in this thread. Even that could be an understatement...

[Cookiely]

Is this disturbance moving at all? It seems like its been in the same place for days.

<RICKY>

It would NOT require a cat 5 to bring 1000-2000 posts.
A hurricane, Cat 1, 2 .... bearing down on Miami would generate it.
