To me, it was Nada, not Narda. The saddest storm of the year I agree.

The name suited it right. :D The NHC also made a sentence stating that it was on its way to becoming Nada. :lol:

Um...is a report coming out anytime soon? It's been more than 2 weeks since the last one, and the season is over. :lol:

Lorenzo in the Atlantic now out. Peak: 45 knots
Ivo in the Pacific now out. Peak: 40 knots
Octave in the Pacific now out. Peak: 55 knots/994 mbar

Lorenzo probably too low IMO - they went with the very low end of the data, despite the eye feature. I would have gone with a 55 kt peak.

Octave probably warranted 60 kt as well based on the structure and blend of data.

I agree, especially since for 12 hours all but one satellite agency was showing winds >50kts.

Maybe Raymond was a Category 4!

#47 Postby hurricanes1234 » Wed Dec 04, 2013 8:08 pm

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC: Hi, does anyone here think that Raymond was a Category 4? It had the sub-950 mbar pressure of a Category 4, and a distinct eye at its peak.

Hurricane Dalila is now out. The peak intensity has been upgraded to 70 knots/984 mbar. Operationally, it was estimated at 65 knots.

Waiting on all three of their reports. :double: Let's see if Raymond will get upgraded in the report to a Category 4. It certainly had the pressure of a Category 4 (<950 mbar). Humberto and Henriette - not so much...maybe Humberto might be 90 mph? Who knows? :lol:

TICK.......TOCK........TICK.......TOCK...... :blow:

My guess on which tropical cyclones will have their peaks revised:

Hurricane Henriette (Initial Peak on August 6) - 85 knots
Hurricane Manuel - 70 knots
Hurricane Raymond - 115 knots
Tropical Storm Sonia - 45 knots

Hurricane Humberto - 80 knots
Tropical Storm Jerry - 50 knots

It seems they aren't in any rush. Most likely they are depressed over the lack of activity in 2013.

I emailed the NHC about when all of the reports should be available and they said that their goal is to have all of them posted by the end of 2013, but we're 3 days into 2014 and half are still missing. Maybe by the end of January? Not sure why it should take so long, but maybe they know something we don't, so let's wait and see what happens by the end of this month. :)

Edit: I just thought about it and I think they may be busy with the snowstorms going on presently. The snowstorms are really severe with blizzard conditions and poor visibility. And not to mention thousands of lives are on the line, which can really make the reports a difficult task at this time when punctual advisories are of high importance.

I went through the KMZ files and the only updated one (so a TCR soon) is for Humberto - 80 kt and 979mb.

It's a sad statement of how weak last year was that the strongest storm being upped to -almost- a Cat 2 is reason for excitement :lol:

I hope it would be revised to a Category 4 as well! If not, this will be the first year in the 21st century so far, whose strongest hurricane (both Atlantic and East Pacific) was below Category 4 strength. Also, it would be sad because it was so close, especially considering its <950 hPa pressure. The winds, if it is left as a Category 3, would be just 5 mph or less, shy of a Category 4! I'm waiting in excitement right now for Raymond.

Hey-diddly-dowdiddly-dawwdiggity-diddly-there, hurricanes1234!
Because Humberto got upgraded? (where's the TCR?) WE ARE GONNA HAVE A PARTY, HUMBERTO STYLE!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
LET'S CELEBRATE HUMBERTO DAY!!!!!!!!
Image Yup, my reaction to Humberto getting upgraded.
Anyway... I'm just wondering about Ray and Henny right now. I'm pretty sure Ray will be upgraded to a 4 and Henny to a 3, but... WHAT ABOUT MEL? How would she fare? Cat 1 or staying as a tropical storm? Can I have a look at the file of Humberto please? Thanks!

I don't think that will happen- I'm sure Ray will get upgraded to a 4.
