why did mike watkins said that the golf of mexico is more at risk for this 2006 storm season based on the troughs and upper level lows and the steering current patterns???I thought the east coast was at Risk for this 2006 storm season I am confused please explain okay, thanks

[Steve]

Both are at risk. I'll make a bet with you will. I'll bet you that before the end of this year, both you and I will be under some type of watch. Like I told you in PM, stay tuned. The season is about to start rolling. And when it does, the action is going to be fast and furious. If I lived on the east coast or the gulf coast (which I do), I'd be checking my batteries, water and stuff to make sure I was good to stay or go (depending on what course of action my forecast office recommends). You should do the same, and also encourage your parents to check their supplies. That's something you can control. Hang on tight.

and since the persistant east coast trough is along the east coast of the united states for this 2006 storm season, how will that affect this 2006 storm season??and which direction will the trough steer the hurricanes in???please explain okay, thanks

[rainstorm]

lets see if the fronts stop blasting off the east coast before a cane can hit us. the pattern has to change.
what else did they say, willj?

North up the coast. Like a Floyd or a Gloria if everything else sets up. I'm dreading the day I get hit.

[willjnewton]

is the pattern forecast to change by the east coast trough???and is it supposed to get hurricanes more up the east coast???

right now the troughs are moving well offshore which wil block any cane from getting close to the coast.

Good stay there

[willjnewton]

in the future by the forecast models do you think the trough will move inland causing more hurricanes to go closer to the coast???

[skufful]

Willj,
I don't know where you are on the East coast, but where I am, we really don't want a storm of any magnitude. It's been a few years, but one year we evacuated twice, and the next once. You can't realize the damage done to the businesses just by the evacuations, much less a major hurricane hitting. Yes, I agree, the excitement of hurricanes is alluring, but for homeowners, businesses, etc., even a threat is financially devastating. I personally own two businesses in my area, three boats, two houses, etc., Heck in 79'? we went through David when I was in Savannah. Low Cat 1, a lot of damage, out of power for six weeks. Although I know our powers co.s have upgraded, it could be pretty hurtful for all of us.

It's just waaay too hard to say Will. It's almost impossible. Things basically change on a day to day basis. We just need to wait until we actually have a storm to track...then see what the environment looks like in front of it.

[willjnewton]

but is the trough forecast to go inlant in about 244 hours from now or not really??? if you all know what I mean

[willjnewton]

and what did Mike watkins say about landfall pottential for this 2006 storm season by the talkin tropics show???anyone

[Agua]

Why didn't you call in and ask Mike Watkins about this Will?

[willjnewton]

becuase they will NOT let me they said I only have to ask them one question but I tried to ask that question though

[cycloneye]

Why didn't you call in and ask Mike Watkins about this Will?

He did call.Was the first caller.

Will,you have to understand that the answers to your question dont come right away in seconds as this is a forum and it takes a little time for the members to post an answer. We love you Will.

all i can say is right now no cane could get close. jim cantore was saying the tropicas are very hostile for development right now. not even convection can devlop with numerous strong upper lows everywhere. an incredible 60 knots of shear is blasting 93L.

he did say things could change next week. remain vigilant

[willjnewton]

but did mike watkins mentioned any landfall pottential or forecast, like does everything look favorable for so and so, on to be Hit

[willjnewton]

I am NOT trying to be rude or impatient but can someone reply to me please

[Stratosphere747]

Brownsville to Maine are equal opportunity players..

I place the odds at even....
