EPAC Tropical Storm Blanca post season report is up at the first post of thread.

[CrazyC83]

Grace TCR now out.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-AL092009_Grace.pdf

Peak intensity a highly uncertain 55 kt, at the low end of ranges due to the thought that winds did not mix down to the surface.

[JonathanBelles]

I still think grace was stronger.

EPAC Hurricane Rick report is up at first post of thread.

[CrazyC83]

No real changes. I do think it was stronger at 18/0600 than at 18/1200 though, since the ADT was highest then (155 vs. 145, with a Raw ADT estimate of 160 kt at 18/0600).

I think that we will see the rest of the reports that are left being released during the next two weeks.I am waiting to see Hurricane Ida and Hurricane Jimena ones.

Same here, I want to see if the relation between Ida and the Pacific low (if any) is mentioned in Ida's report and I also want to see if Jimena is upgraded to cat 5 and brings EPAC ACE up to 100 or more again.

I personally think Ida was NOT responsible for the devastation in El Salvador, and would say it had nothing to do with Ida.

As for Jimena, it is really a guessing game based on appearances when Recon was not available - Jimena definitely did not look its best when Recon went in and found 135 kt winds at about 31/2000, and it was in a solid intensification trend during those few hours. I believe it was twice stronger - about 18-24 hours before that flight at 30/1800 and 31/0000 (then it entered an ERC, so it was probably weaker at 31/0600 and especially 31/1200), and probably again at 01/0000 before it started a weakening trend. At landfall, my guess is 85 kt and 972mb.

The flooding in El Salvador was not a part of either Ida's circulation or its cloud mass. It was a completely separate invest in the East Pacific that moved northward and inland in Ida's wake.

I wonder why it has taken this long for them to release the Claudette report as it was of short duration and was barely a moderate Tropical Storm.

[cycloneye]

Well,someone at NHC saw my above post. Yes,Claudette report is up and posted at first post.

[CrazyC83]

Claudette is bumped to 50 kt at peak intensity. The highest SFMR - 58 kt - would be difficult to be considered representative, since the highest flight-level winds supported only 40 kt, so that would make a good compromise. The landfall intensity also seems reasonable since the highest winds were measured well before landfall (it was hugging the coast for a while) and there wasn't much in the way of surface obs after landfall.
