ATL: ISAIAS - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[chaser1]

I think we need to revoke Hispaniola's nickname for the time being

Right. From the shredder..... to the spawner.

Yeah no longer can we call it the shredder!

I'm not even going to try and and say the name of the hurricane. I'm just going to call it "The I Storm"

Saw someone on here spell it “Isalsa”, I vote for that

Just taking a look at the latest GFS rolling in. So far it is almost a mirror image to 18z. However, Great Inagua is a good waypoint to keep an eye on. According to the GFS it looks like is has it passing north of Great Inagua. Time will tell if that actually happens.

Great point. If the storm were really tracking 305° per NHC, then yeah it would pass north or easily over Great Inagua. On the other hand these aging eyes see something closer to 280/285 perhaps? Less scientific but notable is the number "9" configuration of the system as a whole. I think this typically would denote a westward track. If Isaias manages to travel south of the Islands, that would suggest at least a little bit of a track adjustment.

Just eyeballing it I'd say it looks like 285 as well. But that is most likely deceiving due to the convection. Not a good idea to try to estimate motion at night. Regardless, we've got recon out there to keep giving us center fixes. We'll find out exactly what its heading is in due time. Watch Great Inagua. After that Andros is the next waypoint.

If you're going to do it that way you have to spell it with a lower case i and upper case S, like an iPhone.

Why is it moving so fast? Weren’t trade winds supposed to be slow this season?

At this point I wouldn’t loose sleep over this mess as it’ll likely never amount to anything significant. Conditions just aren’t favorable out there even with a passing Kelvin Wave.

I took a nap and woke up to a hurricane???!

Give me a break, ok? This thing was a pain to track and watch all week then it suddenly decides to blowup while crossing Shreddonia!

Tides will be running higher as there’s a full moon on Monday.

I drove right by that earlier this afternoon. I was very surprised with the amount of trees down from the storm in the Mayaguez area. I believe it was from mudslides as opposed to wind but I can't confirm because there were a lot of branches (some large) which were obviously wind damage.

Meanwhile at my house most of the day was a bit breezy but not much more than typical and not a lot of rain. We did get a lot more rain after I go home, but Mayaguez had 6-8 inches, and Isabela area only received ~3.

How wonderful

[Beef Stew]

And to think, just a week ago we were wondering if Hanna would make a run for it and give us the season's first hurricane before August... Now we've hit two.

At least we can confirm it's not an open wave now.

Personally, I like it better and I get to thinking about eating chips.

2020 is in effect.

Serious though for discussion. With a stronger storm it's less likely to take the turn as early right?

I was thinking it would be a full moon soon which is not good if the storm hits on Monday.

No a stronger storm would likely go more right or East.

Other way around, stronger storm more likely to feel the trough and be tugged out to sea.
