if the model solution were to come true, virtually no threat to the East Coast. No Bermuda high to drive the storms toward the coastline

Edouard was too close for comfort. Something like Gert 99 or Issac 2000 ideally.

Nah, fish are too boring. Hurricanes deserve to hit land sometime.

To see someone from Florida say this makes me scratch my head. Please explain why you'd say something so utterly ridiculous. :roll:

Self respecting chasers don't pray for storms to run into land.

I'm not going to say that development has put florida in a very very bad position of some serious hurt. But that is common sense and the writing is on the wall. I have things to worry about myself, but it may not happen inside of my life time. I'm talking about Rising sea levels, Tsunumi's and hurricanes.

As for this I expect this to poof.

It will likely follow the other waves in poof. Eastly shear 1#, in overall dry air 2#. It could break the trend but it is always safe to go by the trend when the environment is near the same as the last few.

I aksed that question maybe a year ago and there really hasn't been a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic to hit the western side of Africa recorded. One close call may have been TS Delta in 2005.

6Z GFS no longer has a cyclone through 7 days. CMC is very weak

PHANTOMCANE

Looks like we may enjoy another week to 2 of quiet activity, before things get really active
