Looks like hurricane epsilon from last year.

Looks like he is just sitting there, not moving at all. And actally just wobbled west of the forecast plots.

Gordo looks like he has a 100+ Mile wide Eye..

WmE · #348 Postby **WmE** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 10:13 am

Actually it has a diameter of 20NM.

Don't let yourself get confused between a visible eye on satellite and the eye that is obscured by a CDO, but measured by recon.

Now... with that said, there appears to be a 50NM eye, with a really clear section that's 15NM in diameter.

He kinda looks annular.

With all due respect, Gordon is quite far away from being annular. The ENE through SSW radii of Gordon are much smaller than the rest of the system.

"Annular hurricanes are axisymmetric — symmetric along every radial axis, i.e. very circular in appearance. They lack the spiralform rainbands which are characteristic of typical tropical cyclones."

"Annular hurricanes are very rare. Few storms meet all of the criteria, although many strong storms resemble annular hurricanes in some criteria. Fewer than 1% of Atlantic tropical cyclones encounter all of the environmental conditions associated with annular hurricanes. In the Eastern Pacific, such conditions are more common, but still very unusual — 3% of Pacific tropical cyclones encounter them."

Surprised this isn't posted yet . . . Gordon initialized at 70kts at 12Z, and SHIPS indicates some strengthening at 06h and 12h.

He doesn't look annular at all. He looked annular days ago.

I can't believe it is still alive!

Why is that? The NHC forecast had Gordon still alive longer then this and now Gordon strengthened.

Gordon is trying to get better organized it appears. I doubt this will be Epsilon 2.0 since he was a different type of "animal".
