This season is so boring

This season is so boring

We're missing the (still very dangerous) mid-intensity storms...it's one extreme or the other...

I don't recall ever seeing such a symetrical 'core' (the red) on infared before.

[vacanechaser]

This from the 8pm special discussion:

"A dropsonde released in the southwest quadrant landed in the northeast quadrant."

Wow.....MGC

Dang! I guess I missed that when I read over it, or my brain couldn't comprehend it.

Nah, I just think a lot of people want to see a US strike.

Really need to keep an eye on this now. The stronger the storm normally the more poleward they move. Any weakness at all in guiding ridge to the north spells trouble for the GOM.

But it certainly doesn't take a Cat 5 strike in the US to cause devastation...

BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME TURBULENCE AND
GROUPEL THAT THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED...THE MISSION IS BEING
ABORTED AND THE AIRCRAFT IS RETURNING TO ST. CROIX.

wow so bad they won't fly in it! now that's something else! I will GOGGLE at that in shock

I will for sure Google "groupel"..never heard that word!

[El Nino]

W... What ? I just went for shopping and this thing is a 145kts beast ? It sound incredible ! NHC is forecasting 150 kts at its peak but I think it could go until 160 or even more. Amazing, just amazing !

[KatDaddy]

Felix has joined Gilbert, Allen, Rita, Katrina, Mitch and Wilma near the top. Another very impressive CAT 5. Just amazing

[windstorm99]

Just about perfect!

[Ed Mahmoud]

A Navy hurricane hunter flight was lost with all aboard in what was believed to be Category 4 Hurricane Janet, following a very similar track and forecast track.

[HURAKAN]

Nice to look.

for those who are wondering, groupel is basically ice crystals, hail. You hear a lot about it during winter storms when you are on the borderline between rain and snow. basically ice. when you see it in a tropical storm, expect to see strengthening, and potentially rapid too.

Almost looks a(n)nular. You'd hate to see that happen, but maybe it would peak out before landfall.

LOL
That microwave image is just stupid.
Straight stupid.

I didn't think it get more impressive than Dean. Wow.

When I said this was going to be a Cat-5 at the next advisory, I was joking. But the fact that Felix took me seriously is causing me to FREAK OUT! A CAT-5 in TWO DAYS! That's freakin' scary! I'm really going crazy right now because I just got back and the news is just overwhelming. HOLY !@#$
