The name suited it right.

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

Re:
CrazyC83 wrote: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.
I agree, especially since for 12 hours all but one satellite agency was showing winds >50kts.

Maybe Raymond was a Category 4!
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.

TICK.......TOCK........TICK.......TOCK......
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

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!

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.
