Lets see if it can sustain anything for 24 hours or so... it could look completely different 24 hours from now...developed or dissapated. Look at Debby vs what she looked like 12 hours ago.

LOL!!! I just spit chewed up broccoli all over my monitor! :Pick:

eeeweeeeooo, gross!

OK my power's been out twice today, my $100/month ADSL is C R A W L I N G, and multiple calls to Cable & Wireless (or Careless & Worthless, as we love to call them) have netted no human beings, just a menu, pick your option, hear five rings, then the menu starts again, over and over and over. (really, there's no one in the building!)

Is anyone else having trouble with SSD loops, or is it just my technology challenges here today????

That was due to the SAL. It was expected.

GFS says fairly high for the next 3 days but it does have a pocket for the system to develop.

Actually mine are going lickety-split, when normally they're slow (the fault of the Mac Java engine, I think). I was wondering if they changed the protocols or something. Try closing all your browsers or rebooting, if you haven't already - that often helps me.

Quote from discussion:
"THE EXPLICIT INTENSITY GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO INDICATE GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT TO NEAR HURRICANE
STRENGTH AND SO DOES THE OFFICIAL FORECAST"

She was forecast to gradually strenghten up to hurricane strength, not weaken back to a depression, which is where it is heading IMO.

Sorry about that - it was a little tribute to HurricaneGirl. :wink:

Personally I liked the random HC's b/c they were like comic relief in a suspense movie...and kinda gave the board its unique character....but I'll abide by your request Luis.

This invest is just that right now, an invest....until it's officially a storm, it will be very hard to predict where it will end up going. However, it is the nature of the board to start making predictions early :wink:


and Debbie is boring with it falling apart and all. I'm not even looking at the Debbie thread and doubt I will even click on any of the topics. THIS is where it's at....

again, Debbie has had a REASON to diminish where as this does not... I think most saw it coming with Debbie.

Derek, your point is well taken. However, the NHC does caution the public not to get overly excited about that thin line in the middle of the cone of error. I would cite Irene in 1999 as a more recent example. It was forecast to remain well west of the Florida peninsula but we were directly impacted on the east coast. The models didn't perform well in that case.
