ATL: Ex-Hurricane DANIELLE - Discussion

[Sean in New Orleans]

GOOD! Seriously, let's hope every one of them this year is a fish storm, but, it's still a nicely wound up system tonight.

[100feettstormsurge]

This one is history. Looks like it will be a fish as we expected from the beginning.

In a few days anyway, then it'll be back in 2016 unless that season is extremely slow.

[ConvergenceZone]

Yep, Danielle is a guarantee fish at this point....Unless it decides it wants to defy the laws of physics...

[supercane]

ASCAT pass through Danielle:

[sponger]

Evening all! Been lurking all season as I don't get chatty until a top 3 model shows a Florida Threat. Should be a great 3 weeks of surf for the east coast. Looks like an analog to 95. Luis, Edwardo, and Felix! How did the rest of the Sept Oct season go? May give us an insight to the remainder of the season.

As for Danielle, looks well on her way to Cat 3 by morning!

Pounding out the ACE

[Brent]

Never seen a special advisory for a hurricane not threatening land over 10 mph of wind.

Should have been upgraded at 11...

[supercane]

Surprised they issued a special advisory for this. Latest IR:

[supercane]

Agree with you Brent that there was no pressing need for the special advisory for a storm not threatening land just to increase winds by 10kt and to declare it a major Cat 3 hurricane.

and just like that, Danielle is almost a 4. 125 mph(110 kt per best track)

[dixiebreeze]

Agree with you Brent that there was no pressing need for the special advisory for a storm not threatening land just to increase winds by 10kt and to declare it a major Cat 3 hurricane.

Hope it wasn't issued because they think she might go farther wnw or nw before curving east.

[ColinDelia]

Cold tops, nice small symmetrical eye, symmetrical area of coldest tops. Classic Dvorak stuff.

Looking good.

ADT raw# just hit 6.0 in the past half hour

ASCAT pass through Danielle:

For the first time in history, ASCAT catpures the center of a cyclone.

I didn't even think this area could support a cat4 since it's pretty far north.
