I'll go with 30-40, I see no reason why Katia won't be a major down the road and with probably 10-12 days as a TC that should be plenty of time to whack out a decent amount of ACE.

20-30; probably the lower end of that scale as well; the 12Z Euro depressed me.

Actually, with the track on the 12Z Euro, 10-20 might be more reasonable; yuck.

I'd say VERY small chance of it being below 20 dwsqos2, its already upto 50kts and even at that pace it'll be pulling in 1 unit a day...and thats before strengthening which is looking very probable.

25-35 untis probably the range I'd estimate at the moment.

ECM is rather too weak with Katia, where its at now is where the ECM expected it to be between 36-48hrs time so for once not sure I'd taker the ECM too literally, at least from a strength point of view.

ACE of 30-40 because Cape Verde storms often have become major hurricanes and live long, so high ACE.

I'm still not optimistic about Katia generating lots of ACE; the Euro's handling of the upper trough concerns me. SHIPS isn't exactly enthusiastic either.

The final ACE from Katia is 24.8375, as it became post-tropical at 11am EDT / 15Z.

That being said the majority was right with guessing 20-30 ACE units.
And my dices did a good job as well, only 1.1625 units off.
