Only to look at something in Febuary (Not to be excited)

:uarrow: We can just follow the other basins, you know...

I think your sarcasm meter is broken. Obviously, my satirical post referred to the Atlantic. I always look at other tropical cyclones during the Atlantic off season; thus I think it is redundant to focus on the Atlantic in February. I still think these types of topics seem silly. Additionally, the types of responses in this thread don't diminish when a TC finally forms in the Atlantic. Personally, I think this topic primes the board for more nonsense when the annual peak arrives in the basin.

It's common practice to face sarcasm with sarcasm.

Buy a new sarcasm meter TODAY!

Note for others: this is a test. Do not post any model data!!!

It looks poorly organized, in my opinion.

This post is a poorly veiled attempt for sarcasm.

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Thanks Miami! Now I can imagine that this small
area of rain is a fake tropical area.

[Squarethecircle]

Wow, this is more exciting than cheese!

Although that's not really saying to much, but still!

[AnnularCane]

I think I see an eye forming!

I think some of us are getting a little impatient.

[Squarethecircle]

This is the most impressive storm I've seen since I saw a picture of Hondo like forty seconds ago!

BULLETIN
SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE DISCUSSION NUMBER 1
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112008
300 PM EST SAT FEB 9 2008

AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT...DOPPLER RADAR DATA...AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS NOW
SUPPORT THE EXISTANCE OF A LOW-LEVEL CENTER. ADDITIONALLY...ORGANIZATION HAS IMPROVED
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...WARRANTING THE CLASSIFICATION OF SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE.
A DROPSONDE REPORTED RELATIVELY WEAK SURFACE WINDS...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE LIKELY
LOCATED WITHIN SQUALLS EAST OF THE CENTER. ADJACENT LAND AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS OFF THE COAST
HAVE REPORTED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH...AND THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE LIKELY UNDETECTED.
BASED ON THE GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION...THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 30 KTS.
THIS INFORMATION MAY BE DUBIOUS...AS FLIGHT CREWS REPORTED WATER SKIERS ENJOYING THEIR DAY IN THE
CENTER.

WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF A BREAK FROM ATTENTION...I AM FORCED TO ACCEPT THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
AND UPGRADE THIS UNWORTHY LITTLE PEST. IN A NUTSHELL...THE POORLY DEFINED CENTER APPEARS TO BE
MOVING TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST...BASED ON SATELLITE AND RECONNAISSANCE DATA. THERE IS SOME
SPREAD IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE...THE UKMET BRINGS THE CENTER OF THE SUBTROPICAL DEPRESSION ASHORE
NORTH OF THE TAMPA BAY AREA...WHILE THE CANADIAN IS THE SOUTHERLY OUTLIER. CURRENTLY...I AM GOING
WITH A BLEND OF THE GFS ENSEMBLES...EURO...AND THE MODEL CLUSTERS. AT THE TIME...THE DEPRESSION'S
CURRENT MOTION WILL BRING ITS CENTER...OR REMNANTS...OR WHATEVER...ASHORE OVERNIGHT OR DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW.

THE INTENSITY...OR LACK OF IT...REMAINS COMPLICATED. OVERALL...THE SYSTEM IS POORLY ORGANIZED...WHICH
IS TYPICAL OF PRE-SEASON SYSTEMS. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES WIND SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 60 KTS...DUE
TO WESTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH. EPSILON...AND people I disagree with...ASIDE, I AM FORCED
TO FOLLOW THE MORE REALISTIC...OR DEPRESSING...SOLUTION. THUS THE INTENSITY FORECAST IS MODERATELY
CONSERVATIVE...BRINGING THE CYCLONE TO TROPICAL STORM STATUS SHORTLY BEFORE LANDFALL.

INITIAL: 09/1840Z 25.2N 83.0W 30 KTS
24HR VT: 10/0600Z 25.5N 81.0W 35 KTS (INLAND)
