Alberto is likely a 60mph TS.


Don't you mean 68 x 1.15 x .9= 70mph TS?


Yep

That's 68 knots, and the multiplier is either .75 or .8 (meaning 51 or 54.4 knots).


That would be 63mph...is the flight level substantially different here?

People are all getting worked up for nothing. If I were them, I'd take the day off and go water skiing down there......... :wink:



Not so true, this is Florida in June, lots of tourists from up north who here in the Pnahandle a few years back when 6 ft. waves were crashing on the beach 18 tourists went out and drowned!!!!!!



Oh come on - no use to be paranoid with these systems. I've been through Hugo and faired just fine. I went swimming in 6 ft' breakers a day before the storm here on Sullivans Island. Of course we did prepare a little before it got here. However, these people should have had a little common sense not to swim out there if the current is too rough. That would have helped.......... :wink:

I think we might see a relocation of the center to the east of the earlier edvisory... after recon is finished and in time for the 10am CDT advisory. IMO

Maybe 70mph depending on what reduction TPC uses.

74 knots x .75 = 55.5 knots

They have enough data to support a 65 mph storm!!!

Now Alberto is probably an 80 mph hurricane.

74 x 1.15 x .9=76.5 in which you round to 77 in which you round to 80.

guys this most likely will reach minimal hurricane strength right before landfall or it will be just shy of a hurricane.

You don't use .75 in this situation. This is a highly convective system. You can use .85.

please, everyone

read Franklin et al, 2003 to get the proper conversion factors.

you never use .9 when recon is flying at the top of the boundary layer

That reduction is too low. Also the SS scale is not in mph so you can't keep rounding it up like that.

you dont use .85 at the top of the boundary layer due to the logrithmic reduction due to friction. This friction is present regardless as to how convective a system is
