if jeanne does survive hispaniols as a depression or weak ts, the sst's are cooler north of jeanne in the bahamas due to frances, and they are much colder in the gom due to ivan.

I think i'd rather believe NHC over you...sorry!
NHC QUOTE

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 75 MPH...120 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. JEAN IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN TO A TROPICAL STORM LATER TODAY
AS A RESULT OF ITS ENCOUNTER WITH HISPANIOLA...BUT SHOULD REGAIN
HURRICANE STRENGTH ON FRIDAY.

[lapeym]

Still enough to support a hurricane. But it could cap any rapid strengthening.

[rainstorm]

the sst's are cooler, and thats good news. plus, jeanne is crawling across those mountains, and with weak stering currents, it will have a heck of a time getting loose from the mountains. it will likely go more west the weaker it gets as well.

SST's arent cool enough & could support a hurricane..It is Sept in case you forgot & sorry there are no big mountains where Jeanne is right now they are actually hills

[gkrangers]

Jeanne is doing what its expected too. Hold together over Hispanola and PR since it wasn't greatly affected by the huge peaks.

After this, it was NOT expected to become anything more than Category 2 hurricane.

So whats with all the revelations lately?

It wasn't suppose to become a major hurricane, but the ocean is more than warm enuf and conditions should permit up to a two atleast.

Good news today always turns into bad news tomorrow with these things. Sit tight!!!

[frankthetank]

Cat 2 hurricane...ahh...thats still pretty dangerous...you can have it if you thinks its weak...

[Beach0612]

low to mid 80s water temp is cold?

[ericinmia]

The waters through the bahamas, and up to the florida coast line will support a CAT4... right off the florida coast line it will still support a CAT5...
That is going by the mathmatical requirements for the storm to be able to sustain itself.

Also... due to the strong gulfstream, those waters throughout the bahamas will warm very quickly.

If it got into the FL Straits, there's nothing to stop it from getting strong. That water is not at all cool.

[MetroMike]

The upper enviroment is characterized by a highly divergant flow which does favor strengthening.

[Innotech]

this storm isnt going to come close to Cat 5

[charleston_hugo_veteran]

this storm isnt going to come close to Cat 5

no... its not even gonna form....

probably not.
Im not expecting it to make it still. If Im wrong, it doesnt matter to anyone anyway.

[rainstorm]

those waters havent warmed at all since frances

[yoda]
