How do they get 50 mph winds from 996 mb pressure and 70mph flw?

Is it a cane yet, Derek? What do you think?

Oh, great, already detecting a large circular 40 NM wide eye ...

South Carolina's about to be affected by its FOURTH tropical cyclone ... just in THIS MONTH! ...

Alex - check
Bonnie - check (as an extratropical cyclone)

Isnt quite yet a cane, but should be very soon

Derek,

What should the effect of this be on the Northern Coast of NC? I like most others really respect your opinion

I'm no expert, but from satellite loops Gaston doesn't appear to be a cane yet, but it may not be long. Very vigorous surface circulation with massing convection. Hurricane chances at landfall look maybe a little better than 50-50.

It's not the winds that are the big danger, or the surge. It's the potential floording rains.

on the future track of frances. I've heard a little about it possibly weakening part of the ridge thats supposed to build in. Does anyone have more information. All opinions welcome.
thanx

#139 Postby **seahawkjd** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 5:25 pm

It could I guess, but it probably depends on how long Gaston sticks around. If he's history quckly, the ridge would be able to rebuild from any affect he might have. If he sticks around a while though, what would that do?
