It seems likely, and I said this with Wilma too... either it'll only manage to become a weak TS or it will probably blow up to become a major hurricane. Why? Because as has been shown multiple times this year, hurricanes that develop an inner core over favorable conditions have been bombing out. Of course, it might manage it to hurricane status without a true core, but in any case, once it has the core, watch out.

It also brings Alpha to 150mph as it is absorbed by wilma, with a central pressure of 982mb

Something very dodgy with this run

Effectively 1933 is already in second place, since it cannot match the number of hurricanes (record) or number of major hurricanes or number of cat 4s (record-tie) or number of Cat 5s (record by far). Nor can it match the number of TDs (25, win by 4).

Good! Now everybody looking for a record can be happy - as far as I'm concerned the season can end today..

The sobbering part is: we still have 39 days remaining in the season. That excludes any post-season activity.

I know...
Looking at this pic doesn't make me happy at all...:

I guess if you want to extrapolate the gender-flopping the standard list utilizes, Alpha will be "male" this year. Next year, however, Alpha (in the wild event we can't get a break) would be "female."

I think there were higher winds in BVI/VI than official measurements from STT or STX airports. Maria Hill station in St. Croix measured a gust at 3:18am this morning of 61.5mph! Elevation of the station is 300ft above sea level. Gusts of 38mph recorded yesterday by station in Virgin Gorda.

(1 minute) sustained winds between 25 and 30mph (at sea level) reported throughout the day yesterday by mariners here. These are people who sail every day and/or race often, and MUST know what winds are to keep from blowing out thousands of dollars worth of sails. They have years of experience knowing wind, know exactly what wind speeds their rigging can tolerate, how wind speeds in port relate to those out on the water, etc., so I believe they do not exaggerate, and are the next best thing to an anemometer!

At about 1000 ft on west side of a slope, I had frequent gusts of 40mph and a few near 50mph yesterday. (Potted palms in big heavy pots blew over.)

Today here on the hill, it is alternating between long periods of almost calm, interspersed with short periods of gusty winds, gusts about 30mph today, maybe a couple have been 35. BUT, the sun is was shining only a bit ago!!
