Yes, I agree - Franklin came to NHC from HRD, and, was a very good research meteorologist during his time there (as were all, for that matter)...

His discussion really was just about right for the entire lifespan of the storm - if NHC made any mistakes after that first advisory package, it was that they perhaps relied too much on the models, instead of what they knew in their heart to be true, and, ended up flip-flopping from one scenario to another, instead of staying with the initial idea that this would not likely form into anything but a short-lived tropical storm, based on the initial data.

the problem is, it hasnt fully dissipated. thats what concerns me.

:uarrow: It hasn't dissipated but it's moving over land and it remains caught between two ULLs. We will keep and eye on it but I don't think it will make it until the time conditions become favorable.

hmm...this storm has put up with some major unfavorable conditions that should have blasted it apart, but tere it is just spinnig away still. Unless it crosses straight across the mountainous parts of Cuba, I wouldnt be so quick, even now, to call it a goner.

Where are Cuba's mountains? I always thought they were in the east. Are they elsewhere too?

Just wondering what Chris is going to be up against for the next little while.

As you can see, there are mountains in the east, central, and west. The tallest range is along the SE coast. IIRC the highest peak in Cuba is just east of Cienfuegos. It's called Pico de <something_or_other> (San Juan? Gallo <-- j/k)

The far west is nothing but mangrove swamps.

The fat lady got off stage a long time ago after singing. Maybe we should call her back?

I think we may need more than one. Some people are still in denial.

It's Pico Real de Turquino and it's in the range along the SE coast that you mentioned.

Thanks for the correction....and for the link, too. Wow, Turquino is a good 3000 feet taller! That's a great link to bookmark.
