Maybe Mark Seidel is having dinner....

:lol:

In the big scope of things is one hour REALLY going to make a difference??

I'm sure they will have an update at 9.

that seems questionable for frances. I do not think the sat presentation has deteriorated since 18Z

Maybe it's taking into account the fact that it lost its intermittent deep reds that it had earlier.

Double rainbow August 28th, 2004 as Tropical Storm Gaston approaches the South Carolina Coast. (Pictures do NOT do this justice!!!)

I am sure they will have an update at 9 as well.... however, joe six pack has no idea that this storm is developing off the coast. I guarantee people will be paying attention by late morning...

A slow moving tropical event is going to be a mess. People should be informed that this will be a significant rain maker irrespective of its status as a strong land falling TS or weak hurricane.

8pm primetime coverage of a developing tropical coverage helps the information sink in.... I digress... we now return to your regularly scheduled storm stories

Cool! When was this? Looks like what it did here about 6pm or so. No rainbow though. Saw one yesterday though and it was a double one too!

I Agree MGC..Gaston is looking well organized..

bree4bryce · #212 Postby **bree4bryce** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 7:36 pm

local channels have started updates every 30 min and if something significant happens in between. So skip TWC and watch the olympics, get your 30 min local fix and stay glued to this S2K forum.

I would say prepare for worse. It's much better to be safe than sorry.

I once saw a quadruple rainbow.
No kiddin'!

The main bow was unusually bright.

Guest · #215 Postby **Guest** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 7:40 pm

oh my god! that has gaston just southeast of my house (i live at just about 39 north and 78.5 west) as an 89kt hurricane! however I wouldnt put too much faith in that number (it would be over land before that). I do think I may get ts force winds here though, as the models have been trending more and more nw with his course (in other words closer and closer to dc!)

Derek Ortt · #216 Postby **Derek Ortt** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 7:40 pm

The sat images I'm using do not have any color enhancement (I am using images from GARP, not internet images). My basis was that the eye has become even clearer this evening

Guest · #217 Postby **Guest** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 7:41 pm

yeah, if anything it looks stronger.

Matthew5 · #218 Postby **Matthew5** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 7:41 pm

That eye is almost as good as Isabels! There is no reason for less then a 6/6!

I am with you bree4bryce...

I just felt like piling on TWC...

Currently enjoying an adult libation and an energetic Panthers / PATS game.

gaston starting to come into view...

About 7:30 pm ... I am 25 miles from the coast and the sun filtered in between some building CU and the high clouds, a lucky chance materialized ... I've seen 7 different evenings with rainbows after NOT seeing this many in the evening sky here in 4-5 years...
