And what will be the effect of Gordon on the track of TD8.Interesting scenarios with all of these features.


If gordon didnt decide the fate of TD8, this thread wouldnt be as popular!

Could it be that Florence and Gordon's path could eventually bring TD8 to a theatre near you? Hmmmm

He's looking really good; nice outflow and convection. At the rate where he's going, he probably has a moderate chance of becoming our first major hurricane, but cat 2 seems more likely, mainly based on how this season has been so far.

I would say a Cat 3 is very likely, and could actually occur soon. He appears to be rapidly deepening.

The open spot has closed back up, which leads me to think it may have just been a roughly-circular break in the convection. Still looks like a 65-kt hurricane though.

Hopefully Gordon won't vacation in FL as he did in 2000, and boy was that a scream.

You need a little stronger hurricane (i.e. at least category three) before ERCs can happen.

Here's a nich high-res McIDAS image of Gordon. Looks like winds could be closer to 100 mph this morning. Possibly well on its way to becoming a major hurricane within 12 hours.
