ATL: Tropical Storm Kyle : Discussion

[Just Joshing You]

94L will be over land at the time, so I don't know how much of an interaction there will be.

This is just going to be a fish storm so Florida and the rest of the east coast can sit on the benches and watch this football player run away and tackle north towards Canada.But now Florida has to watch about those waves coming off the African coast I can see.

It has been said numerous times before.. But I'll say it again.. Fish means NO LAND, not "Not An American Landfall"... Canada is land too

PLEASE HurricaneFreak, STOP TALKING ABOUT STORMS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE MORE DEATH AS IF THEY ARE "FISH STORMS" - JUST BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GOING TO EFFECT YOUR AREA!

It's as if you want storms to hit you.. you have, on no less than three occasions, refereed to Kyle as a Fish storm. Stop it! It's not really cool, especially when I have to read this but the 3 day forecast line is right over my house.

Lovely... I'm not liking this. I don't want to deal with a Hurricane right now.

Canada is our NATO ally, and even flew AWACs missions over the Northern US immediately after the 9/11 attacks. Canadian soldiers have fought and died (at least once due to US friendly fire) in Afghanistan fighting al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Josephine has been the only true fish this year. Everyone else has done something to land as a named system. Kyle will do its part. The good news for Canada is that it will be moving fast and that always limits the amount of damage.

[Just Joshing You]

I disagree, Josephine wasn't a fish, it just dissipated before it had a chance to effect land.

Actually, a fast-moving storm there increases wind damage potential due to less time over cooler waters north of 40°N. If it is moving at 35 mph towards Nova Scotia, it only about 6 hours over that water. Juan only weakened slightly on approach (from 90-95 kt to 85 kt).

[Just Joshing You]

Not to mention that a lot of rural areas are surrounded by trees, which from what I know, can magnify damage (logic)

[Ad Novoxium]

Darn, I can't access NHC's website.

00:00 UTC Best Track increases the winds to 45kts.

What's the strongest hurricane to have hit Canada?

I believe one in 1893 had 95 kt winds at landfall.

Kyle forecast prediction challenge.

[Chacor]

Also, I've only just noticed it but I like the new forecast track graphics, which differentiate an extratropical cyclone from the tropical stages.

given my recent memory with storms supposed to take a track like kyle is doing , THE nhc is being political and keeping the track about 150 miles or so too close to the east coast than will pan out. again my opinion.

good question lol

i think the storm will be going further east by at least 150 miles (more than the nhc) forecasts and that many times in the past, the nhc tends to take the conservative track (that keep's the public's attention) in case something unexpected happens, given that not too many will complain when the storm rides "a bit further out to sea" get it?
