ATL HANNA: Extratropical - Discussion

[Bocadude85]

I agree that the LLC is just to the right of that eddy where the convection is firing. To me you can see the inflow moving toward the convection. The gray barely visible clouds in this horrible IR2 shot.

no way no how IMO the LLC was clearly visible at 64 west a few hours ago moving West fast, it died

what ever is under that blob would be an MLC

and since it's SE of the ULL it will be in a rather poor enviornment unless it moves north or drifts at 2 mph or less

Well we're both wrong I think.



Loop:

IR2 without any crappy enhancement. You can see the LLC remains 65W 21N or there about. This would not be showing an MLC. The LLC moved a bit south in the loop.

In that loop the LLC seems as if it is being drawn back into the convection or the convection is catching up to the LLC

I just reviewed that IR2 sat loop without the garbage resolution on it...I think the LLC did rush out ahead of the convection and then I think it ducked back under the convection again.

All I have to say is what a strange season this has been so far...

Do you think it's possible that Hanna will end up being a bigger story than Gustav?

Doubtful...Unless Hanna was to make landfall at Government Cut as a Cat 5 and hit downtown Miami. Then she would get as much press as Sarah Palin today! But seriously, with the anniversary of Katrina and now NOLA is being evacuated again...I think Gustav will take the national headlines...

Just read JB late update and he said it could b a disasterous storm for FL and size of hurricane winds could go out hundrds of miles? LOL...I don't make this news i just report it...

What do you think is the worst plausable case scenario for this storm is?

It not something we should entertain talking about, there's nothing productive in such a conversation. Relax, observe, see what happens.

umm... not sure what this means but i noticed the outerbands of Gustav, the ULL and Hanna interacting with each other

A major cane in downtown Miami will allways be the worst, but a Cat 3/4 going into the Keys will be very bad also. What's interesting is in 5 days the NHC has Hanna as a TS and Accuweather and Derek have Hanna as a cane.

I guess there isn't much difference between a strong tropical storm and a weak hurricane

[tgenius]

Just interesting that NHC is taking their time with the disco and updated graphics for Hanna, though the main advisory was up 10-15 mins ago.

Also it's pretty windy here in Kendall, FL too (South Dadeish)

not if your power goes out or you get flooded, remember fay, remember minimal hurricane wilma

(from the 11 PM advisory)
THE CENTER OF HANNA IS
FORECAST TO PASS WELL NORTH OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PUERTO RICO
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...AND IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE SOUTHEASTERN
BAHAMAS FROM THE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY.


I know I am being picky but if it approaches from the Northeast would it not be moving towards the Southwest?

[Evil Jeremy]

Tommorow should help tell us where this should end up. The 2 upcoming model runs will have new info added to it, and we will see what happens with the ULL.

I think you missed something.

[captain east]

just watched ch 10 and SF is now partly in the cone. Also half the models they showed were pointed at Sf.

[eastcoastFL]

The NHC really seems to be downplaying the potential of this storm. I hope they are correct

[Patrick99]

Do you think it's possible that Hanna will end up being a bigger story than Gustav?

Could be....I think Gustav is going to hit Louisiana in a sparsely populated area, similar to Andrew.

To me, the idea that Hanna doesn't seem to be gaining much latitude would also argue against a S. FL hit......which is odd, because it's usually the other way around - if they aren't gaining much latitude it usually argues FOR a S. FL hit, but not this time!
