ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 1006 MB...29.71 INCHES.

Why are they estimating? The recon was in the system, and didn't they measure 1003?

Pressure might be dropping, but the convection sure doesn't go with it, at least right now.

Darn, I was hoping this would be considered a new storm and be named Delta. I'm not too comfortable with a three-storm lead over the West-Pac.

Let's hope that the GFDL is wrong.
Last thing we need here is heavy rain and winds gusting to 55-65 kts or so.
Blue tarps, debris.... NOT a good situation if it happens.

And given how bizarre this season has been, who knows what could happen next. :roll:

Man, when the TD dissapated, I said to myself "Finally, the season is over!". This afternoon, I check my email and find the NHC is posting advisories on Gamma. Then I check the models and notice what the GFDL does with it. Then I notice that the NHC is weighting towards the GFDL. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THIS YEAR?!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :lol:

Would that cold front impacting Gamma actually make it stronger at all?

I could be wrong, but I believe that traditionaly, the GFDL trends to over intensify in high shear environments. I hope that is the case here.

If you mean its intensity as a tropical cyclone, not really. But I am interested in hearing some experts' opinions on what hybrid/extratropical potential there is.

T cyclones aren't the only killers. We've had "winter" storms kill people and result in hundreds of coast guard rescues of boaters. I'm concerned that everyone is so tuned in to the H-word, that south florida could let its guard down and have a 50 or 60 knot system strike while many people are on the water.

We are already getting outer strato bands from this, the radar shows rain moving toward us apparently from both the northeast and southwest at this time.

"6 years ago today it was sitting right over your head."

Thanks Brent, sort of thought so.
