Tropical Storm Chris

[HurricaneHunter914]

We'll it is forecasted to become a cane, but things can change quickly.

[Extremeweatherguy]

I would not be surprised to see a Cat. 2 or 3 cane out of this down the road.

[HurricaneHunter914]

Sorry, I was just quoting what he said.

[raindrops68]

Having a bad gut feeling about this one

[Grease Monkey]

I doubt this will be a wilma, but I wouldn't be suprised to see a Cat3 out of this somewhere during it's tropical life span.

Are your hurri senses telling you that? It is starting to look canish already on the visible satellite.

No I came up with this all on my own. Using my hurri senses would be cheating.

[GeneratorPower]

I think we need to issue a "Bomb Watch" due to the potential for favorable conditions in the Gulf and warm water. If this tracks right through the FL Straits, it's a serious problem.

Interaction with land is the only thing that could substantially halt the intensification processs on the way to the Gulf.

All of this is courtesy of, and a tip-o-the-hat to, August.

[CaneCurious]

I think we, in the GOM, might have to worry.

[WindRunner]

Making a northern leg now . . . setting up for a NW-SE pass. Should be interesting to see what they find in the SE quad, since that was very strong earlier.

[hial2]

I hate to bring this up but....this setup reminds me a lot about a certain hurricane back in 1992 whose name begins with the letter "A"....


Very similar track, and the ULL that was going to destroy it @ same place...

[Trugunzn]

is the center in between those to red lines????

. . . and the environmental pressures are high . . . scary thoughts you bring up there.

[StormScanWx]

I'm lurking around these threads and not posting a lot, but I will say this:

Chris has sure pulled his look together since yesterday!!!

People in South Florida and all the GOM coast states should keep a close watch on Chris!

Oh man... I just got Incredible chills thinking of that. Too hard to compare them now, but wow... some things are similar.

Don't bash, we all know this isn't Andrew and prob. wouldn't be... but there is alawys a chance for something like that again.

If it manages to get into the GOM intact all bets are OFF!!!

[wxwonder12]

Question?? If the NHC was posting the forecast path to the right of the models earlier today, what has made them shift more to the South at this point. Does this look like it may be the trend now and perhaps miss S Florida all together?? Thanks in advance.

[N2DaTropics]

:roll: I think we, in the GOM, might have to worry.

I don't think we have a lot to worry about here in the FL Panhandle as it appears as though we will be protected by a ridge building in that should keep Chris on a more westerly track...now, if I lived in LA/TX I would be more concerned...that is not to say that I have written Chris off, but at this point it appears as though the Eastern GOM is not going to be directly impacted by Chris
