Actually it's not named and it wasn't rude. Your comment was though. Ban Police??SCMedic wrote:Downdraft wrote:Thought we were letting the NHC give them names? I can't find Florence on their site anywhere at the moment other than the next name to be assigned.
I believe that falls under sarcastic and rude to other members. Where's the ban police??

90L or (FLO) has very feathery , whisper edges ..... which IMO .. is showing that the wrap around is inevidable and just waiting to put on the power.. Watched too many BIG storms start out this way...

I believe this answers why the GFDL went "crazy" in a sense:

however...it could be from TCDS to, but I think the models have been producing enough phantom storms this year to keep them satisfied...LATER IN THE FORECAST
PERIOD...THE UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT IS PREDICTED TO BECOME MORE
CONDUCIVE FOR STRENGTHENING. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS
VERY SIMILAR TO THE SHIPS GUIDANCE IN THE LATTER PART OF THE
PERIOD...BUT BELOW THE 1800 UTC GFDL GUIDANCE IN 4-5 DAYS. WE
BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR RUN OF THE GFDL MODEL HAD A HIGH
INTENSITY BIAS DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE OCEAN COUPLING.

Closely related and often concurrent with SDS (Supercell Deprivation Syndrome).
I definitely have a really bad case of that, though it's improved lately due to the August 24 event. But during summer, boy you don't want to know...
Anyway, SDS are probably at record high levels this year. Here's an explanation... http://home1.gte.net/txt/SDS.htm

Indeed, if it weren't for the April 24th El Reno, OK tornadoes, my case might have had to be referred to specialists! Short term relief, however, is provided by repeated viewings of Tim Samaras's tornado video probe footage
