ATL: PHILIPPE - Post Tropical/Extratropical - Discussion

[Cachondo23]

How much rain did the islands get? Just curious?

Tortola in BVI got around 5 inches, many places flooded but nothing serious.

Philippe is not far from the front this morning. Merging with the front and strengthening as an ET low is its future.

I think that Philippe is already looking somewhat less than tropical.

Hey, at least now it has a well-defined LLC!

On St. Maarten, we received about 5 inches.

This has certainly been one of the weirder tropical storms to track, for sure.

Aaaand he’s no more. This was the worst storm I’ve ever tracked. This was worse then Karl in 2016, which at least got to 60 kt/70 mph. This couldn’t even get beyond 45 kt/50 mph. Could’ve had a OTS hurricane (80 kt/90 mph peak expected at one point) but nooo it decided to track a bit too far west (unfortunate for the islands though) and ended up never reaching favorable conditions. I honestly wish the original forecasts of it dissipating near PR panned out so we wouldn’t have to deal with this agony for as long as we did.

I was hoping it would become a recurving OTS hurricane as the basin storm numbers and ACE would then be very close to the TSR seasonal forecast by now. As it is, we have another season with a ton of storms and only a third of them developing into hurricanes which is quite a high NS:H ratio.

Calm down. You could just ignore it when it was clear it wasn't going to do anything.

We can now officially call it Phifloppe.

[aspen]

Yeah this was painful to track, and probably even more painful for the NHC to forecast. Phillippe should get retired solely for the headaches it caused lol

True, but up until about Monday or so there was the chance that it could perhaps bounce back and recover to at least a minimal Cat 1.

Posting a couple of my lightning shots from 2023. These were taken during an outbreak of severe thunderstorms which occurred in and around Trinidad on the evening of October 2. The severe thunderstorms were caused by wind shifts and exceedingly high TPW values brought on by Tropical Storm Philippe's presence to the north.
