A). One strong early season tropical storm on its way to becomming a hurricane really doesn't "prove" anything.
B). If the storm sticks to the plan as set by the latest forecast models and professional meteorologists, Arthur definitely will not be "fun" for anybody remotely near its track.
Just sayin....
some of you take this seriously like you should.. however, someone making such a statement doesnt always mean they are asking for or wishing for death and destruction.. i think some of the off putting comments here at times can be a bit much.. its not always necessary.. JMO.. seems like some just wait to jump on folks..
when I read I the first time, I automatically took it as sarcasm. I guess if he put the rolls eye emoticon it would hv been more clear. I'm surprised someone misunderstood it. We are getting strong TS here west coast fl from Arthur. Clouds were weird that only TS's form.

Do you all think it will be upgraded to hurricane status at the intermediate advisory coming up soon?

Just noticed the 5:00pm NHC update now has softened its 24-36 hour hurricane prediction to "it will become a hurricane tonite, or tomorrow"
Who wants to bet it will be a hurricane at the 8:00pm update? I say it will...

Personally, I think they'll upgrade it to 65 knots at 8:00 then 70 knots at 11:00 if trends continue.
Not official (see below).

Arthur may have already moved away from the Gulf Stream and a reduction of a few degrees less in water temp would slow its strengthening - some of water temps in that area are just above 80 so just at the minimum of water temp needed to support a hurricane...

Odds are more favoring Yes than No IMO.

yeah there plenty of obs to support a blend of SFMR and FL for a upgrade to 65kt .. will they do it is the question.
there are enough obs in the NE quad alone.. its the predominate stronger quad all day..

Lol.. You do this every year.. Seen 81 degree temps support cat 2. And not to mention, it's got arms over the Gulf Stream.. That will be more than enough.

I can't see water temperature being a problem at all as far as intensification goes.
With that being said, considering just how slowly this thing is intensifying, unless things change soon any chance of a category 2 or higher is looking slimmer by the hour.

tomorrow was always expected to be the day of significant intensification
I actually think, cat 3 cannot be ruled out

Re: ATL: ARTHUR - Tropical Storm - Discussion
HYbridstorm,
Not to derail the thread at all but I wanted to thank you for your post and agree with you. Living here in South Louisiana I have seen my share of storms and I grew up in the aftermath of Camile on the MS. Gulf coast. 2005 forever changed me when it comes to storms. I still get excited about watching and tracking and discussing the storms but I will never look at a landfalling storm of any strength the same way again. So Thanks again
Tim

Re: ATL: ARTHUR - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Same as folks here who are people I disagree with - don't get me started...
Many papers have been written about 28C and higher being needed for development above and beyond a certain threshold - that temp isn't there right now...

Good steady inflow wind down here from West. Small band with showers and lightning.
