Can you decipher for us amateurs where you see teh 160 kt and 880 mb from the two charts you have posted?

This is the maximum possible intensity of the storm based on the water temperature and the depth of the heat. In order for this intensity to be achieved, we would need an environment without any shear or land interaction as well as a perfectly formed storm in terms of structuring. Such peak intensities as shown on this chart have rarely happened, as a storm must also be moving fast enough so as not to use up all of this heat and cause itself to weaken.

With all due respect the "black" part is the highest (or lowest for barometer" "potential".)
The area in black includes SO much area that it appears to be useless data to me.
The entire coast of Africa shows potential maximum winds of over 165 knots as does all of the Eastern Bahamas out several hundred miles!
NOWHERE ahead of TD 27 does it show these kind of "potential" winds.
Only south of TD27 does it show a "Potential" barometric pressure of below 880.
Oh, and along the African coast too.
All in all, I think it is irresponsible to post :
"OMG, just got informed that where TD 27 is heading, the max potentional for it is 150-165 knots and for pressure is <880, YES, SUB-880!!! OMFreakingG".
based on this chart.
You were not "informed" of this!!!
You interpreted a very general, useless chart to draw your own conclusion that borders on trolling.
In my opinion, it is alarmist and misleading to post this plus your response to me was condescending to boot. I can obviously see the colors but did not see the logic of it when thousands of square miles show this "potential" including areas that have NO chance for winds in excess of 165 knots and a barometric pressure below 880 mb!!!!!
Shame on you.

Sorry to say but the potential is what he said I was the one who informed him of that! Hurricanes hardly ever get to their potential Wilma came close but even she didn't get to it! and his response was not wrong at all! Conditions have to be perfect in order for it to get to its potential.

Hmmmm... No where did I say in that post that the winds would be above 165, you can double check, but no where did I state that it would be 165 knots plus...OMG, just got informed that where TD 27 is heading, the max potentional for it is 150-165 knots and for pressure is <880, YES, SUB-880!!!

I understood what you meant... it's cool and I wasn't 100% sure how to read that chart...

I was not rude.
Your post read like there was a likelihood of a storm with over 160 kt wind and pressure below 880 mb.
You did not represent it as "if conditions were perfect that it COULD happen".
It said that you were informed based on where it was heading.
Accompanied by a lot of panic emoticons.
It was an alarmist post surely overstating the potential for something horrific to happen.
IMO, the tone was wrong and it was well beyond what should be posted.

Actually, if you look just south of Jamaica, you see a black area as well. This also means that the blues around it are almost in the black range, and still very potent. I agree that the original post may have been a little dramatic as that black area is there most of the season in a larger form, but it was still worth noting. And in all truth, that map is the potential for something horrific to happen.

Last post on the subject from me.
Not all of us sit in front of the screen to reply immediately; so 5 posts may have transpired in the time that I took to respond, had to run my daughter to dance.
If you want to deny that you were alarmist and dramatic, feel free;
but do you think the phrase "YES, SUB-880!!! OMFreakingG" is a little over the top?
I certainly do.
Don't know who told you you did nothing wrong but you did.
Certainly your original post elicited 3 immediate replies since it was so dramatic and was not deserving to be so.
My last word and apologies to others for dragging it out so long.
