Well you know the hype will get going...and it's all because of Kat. They realize it's part of their job to get the word out to people to prepare for these storms early.

True, better to be prepared, than suprised.

I would rather have over-hype than no hype at all. We all know what happened with Katrina. I would rather be safe than sorry.

That is true unless is has a negative effect on the decision whether to evac or not.
I think after Kat it is better to evac than not!

Not if they extend a Hurricane or Tropical storm warning north.... Which I think could happen...

Katrina changed the rules of the game forever

Real nice view of the ridge in the water vapor imagery.
The ULL that was west of TD18 has started lifting out as forecast.
Without any shear and fueled by high SST's the intensity forecast theoretically could follow SHIPS.
There has already been a couple millibar drop in surface pressure and extrapolating that out 48 hours or so would make it significant.
I am glad the NHC is being up front about this system and not lagging the forecast.
I was trying to figure out what the outlier LBAR model was seeing, it must be the little bit of troughiness marked by convection near the Georgia/SC coastline?
