Season Over For East Coast??

[Blown Away]

Except for Flo there does not appear to be anything on the horizon. If something does develop in the east/central Atlantic it would be a good 2 weeks away, which puts us in the late Sept and the troughs would be kicking in one after another. Seems the only chance would be a system from the NW Carribean moving over SFL or possibly a stalled front off the Carolina coast. IMO

hell no! its not over yet! wew not even at peak yet!

Here we go again,

the 6th named storm of 1999 struck North Carolina on September 16th name was Floyd I believe.

I hear you, I'm just saying if a system developed over the E/Central Atlantic today it would take 2 weeks to reach the coast that would be late Sept instead of early/mid, big difference.

Irene brushed the Carolinas in October 1999

I do not at all feel safe.

Skirted East coast after it left the NW Carribean crossed SFL, typical October track.

BTW, Irene tracked rate over me

I think that if it remains quiet for a couple more weeks, the Cape Verde season will begin to shut down, not that it ever really got started. However, we could still see development closer to home and the western Carribean becomes the main area of focus in October.

It's not over yet.

It's September the 8th. Don't you think it's a little premature to say the east coast season is over?

[Robjohn53]

Hardly think we can call it over just yet...

[mike815]

no not just yet one might make a run but its cruch time and a whole lot isnt going on before long the cape verde seaon will be winding down

I disagree with this. Just because Climo may suggest something does not mean that it will play out that way this year. Looking at the GFS (you did look at forecasts before making such a statement, didn't you? ), it appears as though a very large upper-level cut-off low will anchor over the western 1/2 of the US by the end of next week, which stronger upper-level and low-level ridging across the western Atlantic and eastern US (particularly south of the latitude of SC). The ECMWF suggests the possibility of continued mainly zonal flow aloft since it keeps a split-jet structure over the Northern Hemisphere thrugh Day 7, but, then again, that doesn't give much guidance into the Day 8+ period since the ECMWF doesn't go out that far. Regardless, why the urge to declare the season over the East Coast with this forecast in mind?

what year had the greatest cape verde season of all time...everyone acts like every cape verde season should produce all time hurricanes!

[AussieMark]

1995, 1998,1999 and 2004 had a lot from memory in recent years

Yep....season over! Take down the shutters! Put away the tracking maps! Close down the Home Depot! Send Emergency Management home and shut down FEMA!

Are ya disappointed?! I pray in the next few weeks we do not have a monster develop and cause serious havoc on some coastal community. At least all the disappointed "season over" people will have something to TRACK.

Please excuse my frustration!

Look who ever thinks this is the end. Well, it maybe be but the GFS shows more waves coming off the africian coast and developing.

[weatherwoman]

i do not think there is one person on here that does not want to see a hurricane. Why else are you here. Yes I am very dissapointed this year we have had nothing. I like hurricanes and that is why I am here and so do you guys or you would find something else to do with your day! So stop knocking people when they get dissapointed for there not being something interesting to watch and wait for. You like it and you know but to scared to say it. Liking a hurricane does not mean you want someone to be hurt it is an exciting why else are we here?

[Pebbles]

Um there is going to be a hurricane in a couple days.

There is a difference liking hurricanes and liking hurricanes that are going to hit somewhere and cause damage and distruction.

There has been plenty of really cool hurricanes to track in the pacific and one currently about to explode in the atlantic to track.

I think that it's the fact that people are saying the season is boring (or over)because somewhere in the US isn't getting wacked hard that is frustrating to some.
